Tennessee dominates as Alabama suffers first back-to-back regular-season losses in nearly two decades

Tennessee defeated Alabama 26-10, handing the Crimson Tide consecutive regular-season losses for the first time since 2007. The win extended the Volunteers’ run to three straight victories and came amid a weekend of SEC upsets, including Auburn’s late win over top-ranked Georgia.

Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns, while Alabama managed just 201 total yards, including 54 on the ground. Quarterback Keelon Russell threw for 147 yards, ran for Alabama’s only touchdown and had two interceptions; the team also lost two fumbles. Alabama was without leading receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, who had knee surgery.
