Tennessee STUNS Alabama and PROVED Something ELITE! | Vols | Crimson Tide · SEC Football Addiction

  Speaker 1: Smoke them if you got them, Vols fans, because you
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: earned that one. And by the way, you have no
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: shred of doubt, that was a straight up ass whooping.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I did not think in any way, shape, or form
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Alabama would have lost in that fashion. You could have
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: told me that the Crimson Tide fell short. But if
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you would have told me that they would have been outworked, outmuscled, outgained,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and outdefensively performed, I kind of would have chuckled. I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: would have said, eh, you know what, probably Keelan Russell
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: throws a couple pick sixes and that's how the Vols
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: get away to win in Neyland Stadium. But as the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: smoke continues to linger throughout the southern sky of Knoxville, Tennessee,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: there is no shred of doubt about one thing. Jim
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Knowles is the hire of the offseason, and Tennessee is
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: right back in the college football playoff race. Damn, what
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: an ass-whippin' of a performance. 26-10 final score as Rocky
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Top rolls over Alabama. So let's break it all down.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome on in to SEC Football Addiction. Cole Thompson here.

  Speaker 1: the channel right here and also over on College Football Addiction,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: where me, TJ Pittenger, and Tom Hannafin go live twice
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a week doing the show The Power 2. There is
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: no shred of doubt in my mind who was the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: more physically imposing team, who was the more dominant team,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: who had the better game plan, and Kalen DeBoer, for
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: all the good that he has done, has not been
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: able to solve what is Neyland Stadium. In fact, in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: my opinion, the last couple times that we have seen
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Alabama go to Rocky Top, it has been all Vols.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And honestly, we should have leaned a little bit more
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: into that. I get it. You had questions with George
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: McIntyre as the starting quarterback. We didn't even know if
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: he was going to be the starter in this game.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: But take out the offense just for a minute. We'll
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: get to that. I promise we will. This is a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: defensive performance that you hang your hat on if you're
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Jim Knowles. And you look back, and it's December, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Tennessee being in the college football playoff.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It's because of the game he called today. I figured
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that Tennessee's defense underneath Jim Knowles would eventually reach a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: peak where it was one of the elite units in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the SEC. I figured that eventually it would be one
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of the most dominating forces in the sport. But you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and I both heard throughout the entire offseason from everywhere,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State fans, Penn State fans, Ohio State fans, Jim
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Knowles' defense is a little intricate. It takes a bit
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of time to get acclimated to. Like, year one's about
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: establishing the foundation. Year two's where you really see the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: nuts and bolts get down to the nitty-gritty of it all. Yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened in the offseason. I don't
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: know if it's because of a new strength and conditioning coach.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because of their ass into shape.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That defense is playing damn lights out every single week,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and it's a reason why you can believe in Tennessee
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: as a playoff team. It is. Alabama came into this
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: game as one of the most physically dominating teams on
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the ground over the last several weeks. They came back
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: against Kentucky because of their ground game. They were able
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to figure out a game plan against Florida State, largely
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: due to their ground game. They were able to run
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: rampant all over South Carolina, and they had their moments
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in the George game last week. And this was a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: straight-up performance where they said, Nope, take that away from you. Because, yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you can tell me that 54 rushing yards is all
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I have to say. Daniel Hill's longest run was for 17.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Keelan Russell's longest run was for 19. And that was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. And that was all she wrote. They basically said,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to blitz all night. We're going to go
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: ahead and shut your ass down. And we're going to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: go ahead and send whatever we can to put a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: young quarterback into rest inside of our environment. We locked
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the door behind us. And by the way, you're not
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: getting out unless you want to leave in a body bag.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That was the type of performance that you saw from
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Jim Knowles' defense, and they did that consistently. I mean,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it was from the jump with Jeremiah T. Lander, what
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you got with DeJuan Lane, what you have with Kaden Lee,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Amari Campbell, TJ Metcalf, Ty Raymond, Arian Carter, Tyree Weathersby.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Have yourself a game to freaking remember. They did everything possible.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: They said to Ryan Grubb, your offense is going to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: look remedial compared to what we had. And it gave
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: opportunities for Tennessee to not put pressure on its young
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: quarterback to have to win the football game. And he
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: had some good throws tonight. George McIntyre really did make
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: some nice plays to Mikey Matthews, to TK Keys. He
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: certainly was able to get into a rapport starting in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the second half. But the thing that was about this
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: game is that you really could have just won with
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: field goals. If you were able to play and stop
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Alabama and get the turnovers into short field position, which
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you did early on, what you did later on in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the game, it allows you to be able to tell
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: your offense, just get into range for us to take three.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: That's all we need. We win the turnover battle. We
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: capitalize on the turnover battle. There's an opportunity for us
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to deliver. Alabama, a team that we have talked about
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: being a drastically improved offense with Keelan Russell, was 2
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of 13 on third down. They had 12 total first downs.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They had 201 total yards of offense. And because of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the ravenous environment that I do not think enough people
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: are respecting still of Neyland Stadium, they had 10 penalties.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And that's a testament to what you have with a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: ravenous fan base. and an elite defensive coordinator. He has
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: whipped them into shape where they are not having the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: self-inflicted wounds, putting themselves in position where they're allowing far explosives.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: They are a Hail Mary throw away. Literally a Hail
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Mary throw away from being 7-0 and potentially a top
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: two team in the country right now. And it's largely
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: because of how well that that defense has played. Today alone,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: with what they had defensively, 10 tackles for loss and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: 5 sacks. They made Alabama look remedial. If you were
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just to go ahead and say, take away the numbers
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that are attached to a name, I would not be
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: able to tell which one was the number six team
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in the country. And if I did, it would have
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: easily been Tennessee. Because they play like a team that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: had its hair on fire with nothing to lose. Because
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: let's be real, not many people gave them a shot
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in this game. Most people figure that Alabama, with how
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: bad the offense had been at times for Tennessee this year,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: primarily with the quarterback position, they were going to find
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a way to put themselves out of misery. They would
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: have walked on into Neyland. They would have lit up
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the cigars by the middle of the third quarter and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: things would have been a breeze. And that was far
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: from it. In fact, if you want to be completely real,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: after you were able to get that critical fourth down
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: stop to begin the second half, at that moment, if
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: volunteer fans want to go ahead and light them up
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the third quarter, who am I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to judge? At that point, I kind of figured the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: game was going to be out of reach.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, guys, I'll get right back to the video, but
• 6:38

  Speaker 2: All of the conference football addictions, college football addiction, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: of course, the power too. All right, back to the clip.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Second big takeaway is that you may have the best
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: running back in the SEC of 2026. Now I know
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that Ahmad Hardy exists and Kiwan Lacey still is doing
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Kiwan Lacey things and Jaden Baugh had himself a nice
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: day down at DKR. But Deshaun Bishop right now is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the most consistent player at the position, and he is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: absolutely dominated. And credit to Josh Heupel, credit to Tennessee's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: OC for when they realized, let's not put more on
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the plate of George McIntyre. He had an early interception
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that led to a short field position, and ultimately Alabama
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: getting on the board. We're going to go trust our
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: lead back. And lo and behold, they did. Dude was rampant.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, outside of the one blind side, if you
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: take away the blind side block that was made on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Mikey Matthews, Bray Hubbard, We're talking about nearly 200 rushing
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: yards against Alabama's defense. 200 rushing yards single-handedly against Alabama's defense.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: He may have been into the end zone for a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: third time today, for all we know. 32 carries, 159 yards,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: two runs of over 15 yards downfield, five yards per play.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: That's consistency. That's a dude who you said coached. put
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it on my shoulders, let me be the reason why
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: we continuously can move the sticks. We can tie it
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: on Alabama. And I'll tell you what, the one drive
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that you got to lean into if you are a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Tennessee fan and say, this is where I started to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: believe college football playoff is on the horizon. Because by
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the way, it is. You look at Tennessee's schedule and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: we'll break that down in a moment. I can tell
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you that it is nowhere near off the table, especially
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: with how we saw it tonight. But when you tell
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: me going into the fourth quarter, You have a drive
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of 15 plays for 72 yards, 9 minutes and 32
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: seconds off the clock, and you're just able to trust
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: your running back, your bell-count bruiser, the guy that took
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: over games last season, with Joey Aguilar out there, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a young quarterback that you didn't want to put the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: ball in his hands and say single-handedly let us win
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a football game, yeah, that's a moment that you can
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: start believing that this team is a little bit different. Now,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're going to need the pass
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: attack to be better if you want to win a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: national title for the first time since 1998. But to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: make a run toward the playoff, as long as George
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: McIntyre isn't throwing into double coverage three to four times
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: per game, if you trust what you got with Morris
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and Bishop, that may be enough. It has been a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: phenomenal ground game. And they leaned into it. They tired
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: down Alabama's front seven. By the time that we got
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter and we were talking about that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: 15-play drive, You under trust that the linebackers like Mertz
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: or like Hubbard coming down or Dijon Lee coming on
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in for the cornerback position was making the tackle because
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they were bullying and tiring down Alabama's defensive line that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Bishop was guaranteed at least game two. It was positive traction.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And so at that point, run as much time off
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the clock as possible and put pressure on a young quarterback.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: playing in this environment for the first time of his career.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You figure that that was going to be something that
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: would be beneficial to you, and it did. That's a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: testament to what you have with the offensive play calling.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That's a testament to what you have with your running back.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: But it's also a testament to what you have with
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. For the most part, they did a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: phenomenal job keeping the rushing attack going. Two tackles for
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: loss in the day and one sack. And one sack,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I believe, came on the second or third drive. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you talk about after that opening, like when it was 9-0.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: That was the only time that it felt like there
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: was pressure going. Yonsei Pierre was credited with both a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: tackle for a loss and a sack in this game.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And nobody else could get home on George McIntyre. Credit
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: regrets through the offensive line, especially for when you lost
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: David Sanders for that one part of the second quarter,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and you still were able to put yourself in position
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to where you were moving the football. Nothing came of it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: But honestly, the only reason why Alabama was able to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: score and why it was a two-point affair going into
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: halftime were the self-inflicted wounds. By Tennessee. That was it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: You had an interception that got you into field goal.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, that put you into already field goal range
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for Alabama. And then the second time, you had the punt.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: The muff punt. That was about it. And on the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: muff punt play, if I'm not mistaken, just so we're clear,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I don't lose my mind here, I'm pretty sure that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Alabama punted at that point. I'm like 95% sure that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Alabama had a punt on that play. So it's like,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: even still... You got the ball back, and nothing came
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of it. It was a dominating defensive performance. And there
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was no answer for Kayla DeBoer. There was no answer
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: for Alabama. There was no answer for Ryan Grubb. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: now they have to go back home to Tuscaloosa and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ask themselves, what can we do to get back to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: playing the version that we were before Georgia, heading on
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: into key matchups that we have to win? Like next
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: week against Texas A & M. Or in three weeks
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: when we got to go down to the Bayou to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: take on LSU. Or God forbid taking on a team
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: like Auburn. We can't afford those losses. Alabama now is
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: sitting here wondering where the hell do we go from here?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Because I don't know if we can go 10-2 this season.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I won't put it against them with the way their
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: schedule is. But you know what else I won't put
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: against their schedule? Tennessee going 10-2. Or better yet 10-1.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You go into a bye week, and then you come
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: on out to face off against South Carolina. Who knows
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: what that team is going to be. You get to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: welcome in Kentucky. You get to go to Texas A
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: & M, but that game no longer feels like a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: house of horrors. LSU may or may not be challenging,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: depending on what version of the offense you get that day.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: But the way your defense is playing, and it being
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: in Neyland, that may be another easy upset that wouldn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: even be an upset, in my opinion, for Tennessee. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you close out the year against Vanderbilt. A team that
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we said at the start of the year probably would
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: take an 8-4 season as a victory for year one
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of the Jim Knowles defense may now be playing for
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a spot in the college football playoff hunt. It's not
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: out of the realm of possibility. Now again, the offense
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: is going to have to play better when it comes
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to the passing attack. You're going to need more from
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: George McIntyre. But still, nobody should look today and say
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that McIntyre didn't do his job. 21-31. Didn't have a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass. But he did complete 7... Third down throws.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Mike Matthews had 85 yards. Brandt had 39. You threw
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the ball around to six different receivers and everyone made
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a play. You saw your defense kind of put you
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: in a position where you could kind of bail out
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of trouble when your offense couldn't get the ball rolling.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Gotta feel pretty good about your chances. But you go
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: into the bye week and you have an opportunity to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: get right. My bad, you don't go into the bye week.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You go into South Carolina next week. My apologies. You
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: go into South Carolina next week and then you have
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to go get right afterwards. Tennessee's in a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: really good spot. My point is that Tennessee is in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a very good spot before they have to go into
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the bye weekend Halloween weekend. That was where I meant.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Not in the 24th. Next weekend, go to South Carolina.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: When you go to South Carolina, depending on what you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: get from South Carolina, that may end up being a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: game that you just lay waste against the North sellers.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: And lo and behold, we start looking more towards you
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: as a team to beat. Offensively, you leaned into Deshaun Bishop.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: He did his job. Defensively, they played out of their
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: freaking mind. And it was a performance to where I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: left no shred of doubt. And I can tell you what,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: as you continue to celebrate throughout Knoxville tonight, as you
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: continue to look at what the future entails when it
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: comes to Josh Heupel at the helm, let me remind
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: everybody that this was a game that nobody should be
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: questioning who was the better team. Because for four quarters
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: from the jump, Tennessee played better. From four quarters from
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the jump, Tennessee looked like the more physically imposing team.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and the thing that I hope that most people take
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: away from this matchup, more than anything else, you don't
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: walk away with an easy win at a place like
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Neyland Stadium. I know what Death Valley is like at night.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I've been to Death Valley, and I've been to multiple
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: college football vicinities at night, and I truly believe that
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest atmospheres on a Saturday is Neyland Stadium.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Because I remember going to games when I was in
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: school and watching as Tennessee against unwonderwhelming opponents during the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Derrick Dooley days in the early part of the Butch
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Jones era was still filling out to the brim. And
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: now they have something that is actually reminiscent of their
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: glory days. Neyland Stadium, in my opinion, is the most
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: intimidating place to play in college football. And I think
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that more people are going to pay attention to it
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: after today. Because Alabama, with the quarterback that we all
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: were talking about being in the Heisman Trophy conversation, Alabama,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: with a running back tandem that had started to find
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: its rhythm, Alabama, with a defense that would not quit,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: laid down to die for about three and a half
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: quarters during their stay in Neyland. And most teams, I think,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: come on through that building. will not be walking out
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the other side unscathed. But let me know in the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: comment section down below what were your thoughts on Tennessee's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: massive win, dominant win, smoke them if you got them
• 15:54

• 15:56
  Speaker 1: greatest rivalries that now has true meaning on both sides

  Speaker 1: if that's the performance that we saw tonight by your
