The Alabama Crimson Tide have dropped another conference game this season after losing to the Tennessee Volunteers.
Tennessee came out strong against the Crimson Tide and both teams battled throughout the first-half of play. Alabama led by a lone touchdown entering the break, and but soon found themselves trailing after two Tennessee touchdowns within five minutes of each other. The Crimson Tide managed to take another lead with a big touchdown from Justice Haynes.
After allowing two touchdown in the fourth-quarter, the Alabama Crimson Tide offense needed to find answers and find them quick. Unfortunately, the team could not do so, and it all came down to one final drive to end the fourth-quarter for the Crimson Tide.
As the pocket was collapsing, Milroe tried to force a pass across the middle for the field to his receiver, but was intercepted. The pass went straight into the hands of defender Will Brooks and the athlete did not even have to move to catch the ball. Regardless of whether or not Brooks was there, three other defensive backs were also in the general vicinity at the time.

Many Crimson Tide fans were upset about the interception, and quickly took to social media to discuss the pick.
I am not going to name this certain football player on Alabama football team because I will get roasted on X for it but it is obviously this player is not an accurate passer but he is a physically gifted athlete but this guy has costed Alabama a playoff spot with his sorry play

Jalen Milroe and Payton Thorne now have the same amount of interceptions

Dude this is so embarrassing. I genuinely was hoping Tennessee would just go for the 4th down and put us out of our misery because that interception was always going to happen. Just a massive disappointment of an Alabama team

Alabama Crimson Tide Drop to 5-2, 2-2 In Conference Following Loss
With the loss fresh on the mind for the Alabama Crimson Tide, developing a plan for the Missouri Tigers is going to be crucial.
Alabama needs a dominant, bounce-back win in the worst way after multiple blows to their confidence this season. Alabama has never struggled against Vanderbilt, but lost this season, and has had shootouts with Georgia and South Carolina. The changing of the guard for the Alabama Crimson Tide was going to be difficult as Nick Saban left, but it was not supposed to be this difficult.
The Alabama Crimson Tide need to beat the Missouri Tigers next week, and the game should certainly bring fireworks. The Tigers nearly lost to Vanderbilt earlier in the season and need double-overtime to survive. This weekend, Auburn nearly upset the Missouri team which would have been serious considering the struggles Auburn has had as a team this season.
