Alabama dominated the Third Saturday in October with a 37-20 victory over Tennessee, sparked by Zabien Brown's momentum-swinging 99-yard interception return touchdown to close the first half. Ty Simpson led the Crimson Tide offense with two touchdown passes, connecting with Isaiah Horton and Rico Scott, while the ground game added two more scores. Despite DeSean Bishop's two touchdown runs for the Volunteers, the Crimson Tide maintained control throughout the second half at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
