No. 1 Alabama football claimed its 13th straight victory over Tennessee, coming out with a 35-13 win under the lights Saturday night. 

The Alabama defense dominated the game all night, led by Christian Harris who had a career-best eight tackles including one for a loss. Terrell Lewis totaled seven tackles, including a game-high two sacks and career-high three tackles-for-loss, while linebacker Shane Lee forced a fumble for the first time in his career and compiled six tackles to go along with one sack. Jared Mayden and Trevon Diggs came up big after Mayden grabbed an interception in the first half to go with five tackles and two pass breakups and Diggs had a 100-yard scoop-and-score in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
