Storylines for the Tennessee Game

How will the Alabama defense play without Terrance Cody: To call Tennessee's offense sluggish is like calling a turtle patient. There last game against Mississippi St. marks the third time this season that the Vols put up more than 15 points. Although they scored 34 points last week against the Bulldogs, the Vols offense on managed 275 yards of total offense.



How will an inconsistent Alabama offense do against a good Tennessee Defense: Don't let the Vols 3-4 record fool you. Although there offense is at a all-time low, there defense is one of the best in the country only having allowed 11 more points than the highly regarded Crimson Tide defense. They also have a defensive back in Eric Barry who Saban called, "one of the best defensive players in the SEC."




When will The Tide play four whole quarters: If the National Championship Game was only two quarters, go ahead and put the Sears National Championship Trophy in Saban's living room -- That's if the 2 quarters were the first two and not the second two. Too often this year, Alabama has blown opponents away in the first half to then watch them come back in the second half. As this young team gain more experience, the more complete games they will have. Maturity=Consistency.




Will Kenny Chesney be in attendance at the game: If he is, then I will be shocked. It seems like all he does is film music videos on a beach.
