A College Football Record Fell During Tennessee's Win Over Alabama

Tennessee's win over Alabama on Saturday came with a place in the record book attached. During the game in Knoxville, the Volunteers set a college football record, adding a line of history to a rivalry result that already meant plenty on its own.

The record fell in the middle of the Third Saturday in October showcase, a game Tennessee won 26-10 for its third straight victory over the Crimson Tide in Knoxville. On an afternoon when the home team delivered the result its fans demanded, it delivered a milestone to go with it.

For Tennessee, the day now lives on two levels: another win in the program's most storied rivalry, and a record that will stay attached to this team whenever this game is remembered.
