Sunday Hangover: Tennessee

The Tide finally played close to a complete game. While the twenty point margin (29-9) wasn't as large as last year's butt-kicking in Bryant-Denny, Alabama played well for four quarters, not just one half.

The main concerns I have about this team are pass protection and pass rush. 

At times, the very good Tennessee defensive front seven got a lot of pressure on John Parker Wilson, although some of that can be chalked up to poor pickups of blitzes by running backs.

The Tide also didn't get a lot of pressure on Tennessee' QB except when they blitzed. However, both Josh Chapman and Lorenzo Washington played well in place of Terrence "Mount" Cody, who will hopefully return for when Alabama travels down to "Red Stick" to battle the Bayou Bengals.
