Kalen DeBoer’s first season as Alabama head coach is not going the way the Crimson Tide played under Nick Saban.
Tennessee scored the game’s last 10 points on Saturday and captured a 24-17 victory over Alabama in SEC play.
The victory upped the Vols to 6-1 and 3-1 in conference.
Alabama is 5-2 and 2-2 in conference. The Tide lost to Tennessee and Vanderbilt in the same season for the first time since 1984.\
Trailing 17-14 with less than six minutes left, Nico Iamaleava threw a pass to Chris Brazell II, who made a diving catch for the 16-yard touchdown to give the Vols the lead.
Max Gilbert kicked a field goal with 1:30 left for the final points.
Jalen Milroe’s last chance pass for Alabama was intercepted.
Will Brooks played high school football 65 miles from the University of Alabama campus.
However, the school didn’t offer him a scholarship, so he walked on at Tennessee.
Now, he intercepts Jalen Milroe to hand Alabama its second loss this season.

Tennessee remains a player in the race for one of the 12 spots in the College Football Playoff. Alabama faces an uphill battle with two losses.
Since defeating Georgia in a thriller, the Crimson Tide has lost to the Commodores and Volunteers and barely beat South Carolina.
