KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The most anticipated game in Knoxville in a generation ended in the most delirious way possible for the Vols.
Chase McGrath's 40-yard field as time expired gave Tennessee the 52-49 win over their hated rival, who had tortured them for 15 straight matchups dating back to 2006.
Alabama had a shot to win it seconds earlier when Will Reichard's 50-yard field goal sailed wide right with 15 seconds left in the game.The game started with a furious Tennessee flurry of scoring before the Crimson Tide fought their way back. Young looked a bit more like his Heisman-winning self on the next drive, guiding Alabama 71 yards to a tying touchdown off a Jahmyr Gibbs dash. That was the last highlight for Alabama for quite some time, as Tennessee feasted on mistake after Tide mistake.
In the first half, Hooker was a model of efficiency, finding open receivers throughout the Alabama secondary and locating receivers who just flat-out outran the defense. Alabama was fighting an uphill war, battling both a motivated, quick-strike Tennessee team and its own mistakes, penalties that killed drives and kept the Vols rolling.
