Not much is going right for Tennessee on Saturday as Alabama has jumped out to a 28-0 lead in front of a quiet Neyland Stadium crowd. Making matters worse, one of Tennessee best young players has been tossed from the game.

True freshman cornerback Alontae Taylor has been ejected from the game due to an unsportsmanlike penalty that came after a play. Taylor struck an Alabama player in the head following a play, which calls for an automatic ejection from the game.

Taylor was sent to the locker room and cannot return to the field for the duration of the game. This loss hurts even more when you consider Tennessee was already down safeties Micah Abernathy and Trevon Flowers heading into this game.
