The Tennessee Volunteers’ 15 years of pain have finally come to an end as they bested the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday 52-49. The game absolutely lived up to the billing as both sides had plenty of opportunities to win, but ultimately the Tide couldn’t overcome 17 penalties that went for 130 yards.
