Alabama has struggled against almost everyone this season and week 8 wasn't much different. But, as they often do, the Tide clawed their way back into the game after halftime and avoided losing to their rivals for the second year in a row. Nick Saban and Crimson Tide fans got what they wanted, and Kristen Saban got her QB1.

The Nick Saban halftime talk works like a charm

It isn't known what Nick Saban said to his players at halftime. But whatever he said, it worked like a charm as Alabama looked like a completely different team in the second half. When the game against the Volunteers began, the Tide's difficulties that had plagued their season resurfaced. By halftime, the Volunteers were ahead 20-7. But then everything changed.

Jalen Milroe threw for 220 passing yards and 2 passing touchdowns while RB Jase McClellan ran for another TD as the Tide turned the tide completely. To top it all off, kicker Will Reichard chipped in with two field goals as Alabama trumped Tennessee 34-20. Surprisingly, the Vols couldn't score a point in the second half, highlighting Alabama's domination.

Alabama is now 7-1 after week 8 and will next take on the LSU Tigers after a bye week. Will they be able to overcome another great opponent in week 10?
