The Crimson Tide have done it again. Another non-offensive TD for an Alabama team that has made its bones doing just that this season. The Tide now have 11 on the year, compared to nine touchdowns this season by South Carolina’s offense. (That’s worse than all but Buffalo, which has eight.)
Alabama’s D and special teams have now scored more 2016 TDs than South Carolina’s O
The Crimson Tide are evolving.
Bama kept that streak alive here by blowing up a Tennessee screen play and making it look like it never had a chance.
Alabama LB Reuben Foster came on a blitz, and the path of his rush on Tennessee’s center took him into the path of RB Alvin Kamara, who was leaking out of the backfield for a screen. Foster engaged them both, and QB Josh Dobbs forced a pass that ends up in a completion ... to the other team. Ronnie Harrison took it the other way.
Later in the fourth quarter, Eddie Jackson ran a punt return back 79 yards for a TD.
It’s just another on the pile of non-offensive TDs.
Alabama has been absolutely living rent-free in Tennessee’s backfield in the early going of the rivalry tilt between the two teams.
If that continues, it likely won’t be the last time Alabama forces a turnover this afternoon.
