Butch Jones: This is the best Alabama team we've faced
Tennessee coach Butch Jones gave high praise to upcoming opponent Alabama during his weekly press conference Monday. Jones called the current Tide team the “best Alabama team we’ve faced” since his first season with the Vols in 2013.
Butch: "This is the best Alabama team we've faced since we've been here. … And they've all been talented."

That’s a big compliment considering the previous three teams all finished with double digit wins, while the last two won SEC Championships and appeared in the College Football Playoff, including a 45-40 win against Clemson in last season’s national title game.
Tennessee has lost nine consecutive games against Alabama in the annual rivalry beginning with a 41-17 loss during Nick Saban’s first season in 2007. During Jones’ tenure, the Tide defeated the Vols 45-10 in 2013, 34-20 in 2014 and 19-14 in 2015.
I hope it’s the widest margin of victory ever to put an exclamation mark on the 10 year streak of domination by Saban and the punks never win another game as a result, ever.
Dream on..
Punks? Your team is full of gun totin, drug dealing thugs. I hope karma haunts you here.
Drug dealers? Get your facts. Guns are legal in Alabama. Sexual assault and coaches covering it up is factual in Tenn and illegal
Bama 48 TN 26
lol
Bama 41 UT 17
Vols-41
Bama-less than 41
It has been a long time since Tennessee has beaten GA, FL, & Bama in the same year, but this just may be it. We’re due! Besides the fact. I dream of a rematch with TA&M in the SEC CG.
