October 24, 200916 yr Crazy finish. Alabama dominated most of the day, but the offense couldn't get in the end zone. They led 12-3 with around 1:30 left and the Vols punch it in to be down 12-10. UT recovers the onside kick and drives down to the Alabama 26. Attempted field goal for the win is blocked. UT had two field goals blocked on the day, one was short from 47 yards out. 1/4 on the day. The Bama defense came up HUGE.
October 24, 200916 yr UT should be lining up for another kick after a 15 yard penalty for the bama player taking his helmet off.

October 24, 200916 yr Bama is not the best team in the college football. I really don't know who is, thats why a playoff is needed. Put Bama, UF and Texas in a hat a draw.
October 24, 200916 yr Author Bama is not the best team in the college football. I really don't know who is, thats why a playoff is needed. Put Bama, UF and Texas in a hat a draw. Well see, that's the thing. You just named the three teams that I believe the best team would come from, and they've each had some suspect games. Best does not mean flawless.
October 24, 200916 yr Lining up to get another one blocked....time to recruit a new kicker. Already got a good one coming in. To play for a championship you need luck, and Bama got lucky today. They were outplayed and won, so great win for them. UT is getting better and are not that far from being back to the top of the SEC.

I would put USC in that mix as well. Bama O is terrible, their passing game is horrible, I would think UF has a slightly better passing game. McCoy has been so on and off this year.
October 24, 200916 yr UT is like a Miami in the making, good coaches just need a few recruiting classes.
October 24, 200916 yr UT should be lining up for another kick after a 15 yard penalty for the bama player taking his helmet off. No way that penalty gets called after what has transpired this season with the officiating - I don't think it should have been called either. The Vols had their chances and did everything except block for the FG's. Coach Neyland as well as Coach Bryant always preached that when teams are equal (and these 2 were today - maybe only today but they were equal), then a special teams play will likely be the difference. The result is plain to see. Congratulations, Alabama - you earned it on the field! I don't like the results, but this one will go down as a classic! The other teams in the SEC all hate Kiffin - I'm grateful to see him on the Vols sideline! The Vols will be back in the championship discussion very shortly.

UT is getting better and are not that far from being back to the top of the SEC. Blocking two kicks is not luck. Bama could have easily ran back the kick and won by 2 scores but the Bama player ran a few yards and took a knee. UT played good, but the best team won. I do think it was obvious who was coming off the bye and who was heading into it.
October 24, 200916 yr When UF plays a close game that they should have lost against lesser talent they're overrated. When Bama plays plays a close game against a lesser opponent it's a solid win. Either way good teams survive and advance. I think Kiffin and company sure can coach though.

McCoy has been so on and off this year. That Washington loss USC took looks better every day. I expect Oregon to end the discussion of USC in the title mix next week.
