Nick Saban and Alabama needed a second half comeback to get a revenge win against Tennessee, and they got exactly what they needed.
The Tide came out of the second half and got a touchdown in just 2 plays to narrow the deficit. From there, Tennessee had no answers for the Tide and they were able to take a 7-point lead early in the 4th quarter.
Tennessee needed to get something going, but a big hit forced a Joe Milton fumble, and Jihaad Campbell scooped the ball up and took it in to score, putting the game out of reach with time ticking down.
There were plenty of big plays from Alabama, but the scoop and score put the icing on the cake.
After the game, Nick Saban broke down the Play of the Game, pointing out what his defense did right to force the big play.

“This is a big play in the game to get us up 2 scores in the game,” Saban said. “It made a big difference.”
