On a banner day in program history, Tennessee leads the way for Saturday's biggest winners and losers:
USA TODAY Sports' Paul Myerberg and Dan Wolken break down the top landing spot for coach Matt Rhule.Long scoring plays, extended scoring drives, multiple lead changes, a game undecided until the final seconds.
The long-suffering rival had it, gave it away and then took it back again, possibly signaling a changing of the guard in the conference power rankings. Last year's Heisman Trophy winner, Bryce Young, returned from a one-game absence and showed no signs of a lingering shoulder injury, throwing for 455 yards and two scores as the Tide crawled out of a 28-10 hole in the first half to lead 49-42 late in the fourth quarter.
Tennessee is a legitimate contender for the national championship just halfway through coach Josh Heupel's second season. Alabama can't stop committing costly penalties and can't stop missing field goals — and given how fortunate they were to get past Texas and Texas A&M, the Tide should be worse than 6-1.
