Hey this is Scott Kennedy and welcome to the -- we're going to be talk a little bit of SEC football tennis he takes on Alabama and would -- like to call on the up good old fashioned hate. For the Tennessee's out of things we're gonna bring in -- more inside -- he got common Randy. Last week Jonathan prompting got a legs under him a little bit as he threw for over 300 yards against Georgia. As the planning at Alabama to have prompt and aired out like that'd be faithful build a more conservative.
I -- ridiculously dumb and throw it nearly that often. I think Tennessee. We'll try to run the bottom how much success it'll have against Alabama's defense that I think that'll beat plant in Tennessee will throw sparingly. And that basically when asked you.
Randy Tennessee's defense under defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin has been out. All American Eric berry might be the best player in college football what their plan to stop Alabama's powerful running game.
Tennessee's run defense has been outstanding and that. With the exception of some missed tackles in the -- game. He's really really done Whalen and obviously huge key for Tennessee -- I think Tennessee well. Will be able to have reasonably good job that in Alabama just wears people down with its South Carolina and and so the fourth -- going to be really crucial thing.
Randy this series is condiments streak and one way or the other after Tennessee won nine out of ten Alabama's 13 had a lot for. You think Tennessee can start to reverse that trend this week.
I don't believe that Tennessee is gonna go down the Tuscaloosa and win the game I do believe the Tennessee can play defense well -- that that it can keep the game. Competitive and I think it devolved can go to test was and come back. You know -- haven't lost -- and fourteen points I think that would be a pretty. Pretty impressive performance by the --
64 yards rushing. And not giving up a touchdown and they have that same time I get an eight.
And they had some really outstanding running back in the hard stay in ground. So united. Big big assignment how those two against in you've got the and the new wild card in mayor to outcrop and in the it is planned stabbing showed that he might be -- big time quarterback to Canseco out he could but he he would. Struggled a bit early in the year but against Georgia and he went for Tennessee. -- really lit it up so. Alabama expects. Very difficult applicants. Tennessee South Korea that they had captures the tendency stakes element -- mystery -- to continue to be very very south.
Greg McElroy had us early in the season he's really struggled his last two games allowing mark Ingram to really carry that -- from the running back position. As the plan to get Ingram as involved again and --
Mark Ingram last week and -- the -- Grade Alabama performances the third out. Rushing yardage in Alabama history had 24 carries for 246. Yards. He's but he's a work course he's. Has never lost a fumble and development career race -- a lot of touches. At one fumble that he recovered. So he has. Truly have a great back and getting Heisman Trophy -- to. Alabama won't they balanced the last two weeks quarterback Greg McElroy is has been out a little bit at her and they're. Pastries and -- we -- know that the quarterback more than any other position probably depends zone. The people around him to do their job so that he can look good. So it's probably have a nation that's going to probably to break down. In other areas that Greg -- worst critic he has said that he had been at our -- Doing the things in the film room and elsewhere. Helped lead back. -- the level he played early in the.
Our current we've been doing the show a couple years now -- as good as Alabama's band we've had you won here several times I don't think you picked against Alabama yet I don't expect to do now.
Well this is David Alabama should -- Alabama's courses that step number one in the nation in 10 and number two in the BCS standings. There it's very very strong Alabama team can win a lot of different way. Like typical after the they built that eventually but I think right now excitement club probably foreign head of the bow to it will win it.
All right thirteen -- have to agree with you and I think -- we're gonna be an agreement for a while this year as good as Alabama's been especially that defense. Well Jonathan prompting much needed confidence against Georgia. Alabama's defense isn't Georgia's defense you play that common opponent game and you look at South Carolina. They played -- they played Alabama they scored forty on Georgia they scored six or seven on Alabama if you look at Arkansas they score forty on Georgia they score six evidence Alabama. Tennis he puts up 45 on Georgia got what six or Evans about right for weather and -- in Alabama. Michael Roy hasn't provided the type of balance that you hope that it doesn't matter as strong as a defense has been and a strong as a running game has been. I do think that Tennessee has enough athlete to stick with Alabama contain them on offense a little bit. So you might -- 26237. Type a score like we seen on the South Carolina and the ole miss games. But Alabama is just too good for Tennessee and it -- and starts turning the ball over in Alabama gets a pick six or deepened score some like that can turn into a rout. I don't expect to be around like a set I think tennis he's good enough on deep and hang with Alabama. But I think Alabama's gonna win on fairly handily again a big thanks to Randy more than sides and he got common -- Alabama mag dot com on Scott Kennedy for the Scott show.
