Summary
DeSean Bishop ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns as Tennessee pulled away for a 26-10 win over No. 6 Alabama at Neyland Stadium.
Alabama managed just 201 total yards, including 54 rushing, and committed four turnovers — two fumbles and two Keelon Russell interceptions — against Tennessee’s defense.
George MacIntyre provided steady quarterback play for the Volunteers, who won their third straight after taking a 12-10 halftime lead in a sloppy first half.
Keelon Russell threw for 147 yards and scored on a 19-yard run, but Alabama was already without leading receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams after his recent knee surgery.
The loss gave Alabama its second straight regular-season defeat for the first time since 2007 and capped a rivalry day that also saw Auburn upset No. 1 Georgia.
