TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The first half was all field goals, with Alabama on top 9-3 at the break.
Tennessee had one good opportunity, getting a first-and-goal when Denarius Moore took a Jonathan Crompton pass 19 yards to the 8.
David Oku picked up 2 yards but two passes went incomplete and Daniel Lincoln cleaned up with a 24-yard field goal.
Alabama’s Leigh Tiffin was true on all three tries, 38, 50 and 22.
Lincoln tried a 47-yarder as the half ended but was just short.

AllVol say Cunningham must have really weak dam-ned leg.
Why don't we throw it long one good time.

I agree WD. Keep it close and break a big one to win it late. Sounds like a good plan.
AllVol2008#1353998 writes:
I mean Lincoln. Well, Cunningham, too.

I say we win. Alabama looks we are moving the ball. Write it down. We will win today. Dry those eyes Alabama it's coming.
In fact if we lose I will disappear from this site. I am that sure of a win for Tennessee today.

Hard to be upset so far. Pretty much what we expected. I'm happy the Defense has held Alabama to field goals. I want to see NuKeese bust a big one! That would be huge!

I like our chances right now. Besides I will still read the site. Life wouldn't be the same without your humor.

Our defense is getting man handled at the line of scrimmage. Wildcat is getting too many yards when you know what is coming.

Agreed Witch Doctor...question....
what do the bones say the odds are that Verne & Gary will STILL be talking about that non-pass interference call on Julio Jones? They can't let anything go, especially if it's against a team they are rooting for.
GO VOLS!

i'll take 9-3. why didn't we sling in downfield with :10 showing? would have been about the same fg distance, and maybe we get lucky...

Kicks in the endzone dont happen very much any more due to the back up....Not for sure Ricky Towsend or Reveiz could send it back there consistently with the new kick off location...

Witch Doctor say they dont want their tires cut...lol.
Bones never lie
GBO!!

with all due respect, witchie, danielson may be parked at the stadium and have that concern, but after listening to lundquist this season ("was he out of bounds far enough to stop the clock?", "wouldn't that be an incompletion?"), i'm convinced he's on another planet, so his tires are probably safe.

Gary Danielson is second on the list of announcers I am going to punch in the face if I ever get within reach. He's right behind Joe Morgan.

Questionable play calling by the coaching staff during the last part of that drive.
Witch_Doctor writes:
Witch Doctor say both brought A game today. Witch Doctor expect no less from either..Witch Doctor say this the way Bama and Tennessee play.
Bones never lie
CRFVols writes:
I don't like the call at all. Didn't even give us a chance at getting in field goal range. Granted you have to get pretty close for our kicker.

Witch_Doctor writes:
Witch Doctor say really no Tennessee fan could be upset with this so far. Witch Doctor say first year team/coach looking pretty good. Witch Doctor say SEC gonna be real fun with a "good" Tennessee again!! Go Vols!

That's better play calling. Mix it up.

If Crompton has the time he is on the money. Driving the ball now we have to complete the task and score a TD.
Keeping it Real
Go Vols!!!

Have to get in the endzone this time.With the way the D is playing 10 to 9 could be the final score.

We have won the 4th quarter all year can we please get a TD right now and put the Bama off. to sleep please.

I really want to win this game, if only to shut bama's QB up about never losing a game.
Hardrocknox writes:
I am with you , man what a d - bag

Danielson talkin' w/sock in mouth (bein' nice)...Kiffin ain't there for no moral victories today!!! These guys have been around his act long enough to get the message...playin' w/great intensity and plan...and showin' some guts...another 4th down conversion!!
