The Alabama Crimson Tide have dropped their second consecutive game on the road.

Bama’s offense struggled in Knoxville on Saturday in their 17-24 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers. The unit generated just 7 points in the first half despite forcing a trio of turnovers from Tennessee. Alabama put up 10 points in the second half, but were unable to do anything on their final four possessions, the last one ending in a Jalen Milroe interception.

Bama controlled the Time of Possession battle by over seven minutes, but were plagued by penalties (15) and going just 3-of-14 on third down attempts.
