Quarterback Mac Jones finished 25 of 31 for 387 yards, leaving the game in the fourth quarter once the Crimson Tide were well ahead of the Volunteers. Running back Najee Harris rushed for 96 yards and three touchdowns, and the offense racked up a whopping 587 yards (7.7 yards per play) on the day. Harris got things started with a 1-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter, and Jones followed it up with a 1-yard run of his own on the next drive. Six of Alabama's first eight scoring drives were 60 or more plays with the lone exception being a Malachi Moore scoop-and-score to open the third quarter and a 23-yard drive that started after Alabama recovered an onside kick late in the third quarter.
Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano was unable to keep up with the high-octane Tide offense, but he did go 13 of 24 for 162 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort. He hit Josh Palmer on a beautiful touchdown pass in the back corner of the end zone in the third quarter to at least keep it respectable as Alabama's cornerbacks were beaten a couple times on deep passes over the course of the game.
It was not completely smooth sailing for Alabama on Saturday, though, as star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was injured on the opening kickoff. Coach Nick Saban later revealed Waddle suffered a broken ankle that will sideline him for the season.
