No. 11 Alabama's win over No. 17 Tennessee Saturday afternoon was a hard-earned one. After being smothered 20-7 by the Volunteers in the first half, the Crimson Tide rallied for 27 unanswered points and the victory.
It was, in short, the kind of win that might tempt one to light up a postgame cigar—as the winner of the rivalry has every year since the 1950s.
Alabama coach Nick Saban, however, has another way of celebrating—which he revealed in an interview after the Crimson Tide's win Saturday to the delight of quarterback Jalen Milroe.
