TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Well, the scare lasted all of two quarters, but the Alabama we expected showed up in the second half to dismantle Tennessee for the 37-6 victory.
With two weeks left until the ultimate showdown between Alabama and LSU, it comes as no surprise that Alabama was a little flat out of the gates. It was also no surprise that the Crimson Tide came out and pounded the Vols for the final two quarters.
Once Tennessee had to account for McCarron's right arm, that freed up some space for Richardson, who ran for two scores in the second half.
Tennessee had absolutely no fire in the second half, partly because Alabama stole it from the Vols as soon as they took the field in the second half. All the emotion was on Alabama's sideline and in its wild fans.
The LSU chants didn't begin until 2:36 remaining in the fourth quarter, and, with both teams idle next weekend, the Crimson Tide can now officially put all of their focus on the Tigers.
Nov. 5 has been hyped up like the Super Bowl and it must have been killing Alabama and LSU players alike that they couldn't really talk about it. Now they can, and we might not hear the end of it until that game is over and a victor has been crowned.
