Grading Alabama’s performance in convincing win over Tennessee

Taking a deeper look at how Alabama graded out in its win over Tennessee

It was a rough night for the special teams unit Saturday in Tuscaloosa. In my opinion, special team mistakes cost the Tide 10 points in the contest.

First, the punt return team roughed the Tennessee punter after the Alabama defense had the Vols backed up to a fourth down and forever and that sparked the Tennessee offense and they scored just a couple of plays later.

Then, the punt team gave up a blocked punt. Fortunately, the Tide defense stood strong and held the Tennessee offense to just three points.

This was probably the worst performance of the season for the special teams unit.
