Tennessee delivers historic scoring output against Alabama, Nick Saban-coached teams

Tennessee poured it on offensively against Alabama with 567 yards, but it was the 52 points in the 52-49 victory that stood out among the history books.

The 52 points allowed by Alabama is the most Alabama has given up in any game since 1907 against Sewanee (54 points), according to ESPN’s Chris Low via ESPN Stats and Info. Similarly, Tennessee’s 52 points are the most against a Nick Saban-coached football team since Sept. 7, 1996, when Nebraska put up 55 points on Saban’s Michigan State Spartans, per Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated.

The Vols were fueled by Jalin Hyatt, who caught 6 passes for 207 yards and a Tennessee-record 5 touchdowns. And it started early, when Tennessee’s up-tempo offense jumped out to a 21-7 first-quarter lead and led 28-20 at halftime. All 4 touchdown drives took over 2 minutes.
