Butch Jones says Alabama's 'been doing that to everyone' following Vols big loss
This season just keeps getting worse for Tennessee and head coach Butch Jones.
The Volunteers lost to No. 1 Alabama by a final score of 45-7 on Saturday. The lone touchdown was even scored by the Volunteers defense which means Tennessee has now gone three straight SEC games without an offensive touchdown.
The hot seat talk will continue for Jones, and it is fair to wonder if Tennessee will win another game this season. The Volunteers will go on the road to take on Kentucky next weekend in another game that will likely have Tennessee as an underdog.
Jones and the Vols will look to regroup, and here is what he had to say following another loss to Alabama:
Butch: When you make a mistake against a team like this, they’re gonna make you pay for it.

Butch: You’re not gonna be able to march downfield methodically against Alabama. You have to be able to make big plays.
