Nick Saban lamented Alabama’s lack of discipline on defense
coach Nick Saban lamented the Crimson Tide’s lack of discipline on defense at key stretches in the high-scoring matchup., 52-49, after the winning 40-yard field goal from redshirt senior Chase McGrath in the closing seconds. The clutch kick capped a quick Vols drive that saw quarterback Hendon Hooker notch completions of 18 and 27 yards after Tennessee took over on its own 32-yard line following a missed 50-yard field goal try from Tide kicker Will Reichard with 15 seconds left.
After the game, Saban addressed the defense’s effort on the final drive and sounded none too pleased with how little resistance his team showed in crunch time. “We played way too soft at the end to let them go down the field 50 yards and get in field goal range,” SabanMcGrath’s heroics came at the end of a wild second half that saw the SEC rivals combine for 53 points in 12 total drives. But, on a night where neither defense appeared to have the answers, it was Saban’s Tide who made some of the most glaring mistakes of the game.
After climbing out of a 28-10 first-half deficit, Alabama took its first lead with 7:49 to go in the fourth quarter when sophomore linebacker Dallas Turner returned a fumble 11 yards for a touchdown. As the Tide looked to get off the field on the ensuing possession, junior defensive back Brian Branch was flagged for pass interference on third-and-6.
