What Butch Jones said after Tennessee lost to Alabama for the 10th straight time

On Saturday, No. 1 Alabama lived up to its billing — as it defeated No. 9 Tennessee by a score of 49-10.

The Volunteers had a bear of a time moving the ball offensively. Quarterback Josh Dobbs was limited to a myriad of short throws, and UT rarely threatened downfield.

After the game, head coach Butch Jones addressed the media:

Butch Jones: "They're the No. 1 team in the country and rightfully so. Sometimes, they just line up and say 'we're better than you.'"

. @UTCoachJones: Football comes down to 1on1 matchups. Xs and Os don't breathe. We have to execute better. #Vols

. @UTCoachJones: It's a grown man's league. … We've put ourselves in a position where we've got a lot to play for. #Vols

. @UTCoachJones: If I'm a defensive lineman or any player on our team, I'm getting around Derek Barnett as much as I can. #Vols

"We thought we had some good angles and some good calls, but again, football comes down to one-on-one matchups." -Butch Jones

Butch Jones: It's real simple. It's a line of scrimmage league and when you get out-rushed like we did (438-32) you have no chance.

#Vols coach Butch Jones said he is "very concerned" about making it through season with amount of injuries compiling.
