minutes left and roaring when the announcer mentioned the next game in two weeks.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Brandon Fusco Jersey . -- Alabama fans could finally move on from the big rival to the
really big game.
Most of the 101,821 stuck around until the end of Saturday nights 37-6
rout of Tennessee, happily starting up the "LSU" chants with a couple of
minutes left and roaring when the announcer mentioned the next game in
two weeks.
Maybe the Crimson Tide (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) had LSU on
their minds a little earlier than that.
AJ McCarron passed for 284 yards and a touchdown and ran for another
score and led the Tide to a 31-0 second-half surge in a game that was
tied at halftime.
"It was a little lacklustre in the first half, which was a little
concerning," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "There was a concern going
into the game, and something we tried to fight all week in terms of guys
being focused on whats happening right now and not being concerned
about the future.
"And challenging them to play and have respect for the team that theyre
playing."
The Volunteers (3-4, 0-4) earned that respect by playing the title
contender even in the first half.
Then the Tide scored on its first five possessions after halftime to set
up a two-week bonanza of hype ahead of Alabamas showdown with No. 1
LSU, which routed Auburn 45-19 in a game that ended shortly before this
one kicked off.
"We werent aware of the score," insisted Tide guard Alfred McCullough.
"It had no effect at all."
Now, both SEC powers head into an open date.
As for head-to-head comparisons, the game didnt settle much. LSU beat
the Vols last week 38-7 for the same margin.
Saban went on to request everyone to "chill out" with the LSU buildup.
Thats probably wishful thinking.
Alabama had either first downs or touchdowns on its first 10 plays of
the second half to bust open a 6-6 game and let the pre-LSU hype start
anew.
The Tide outgained the Vols 280-41 in the second half and the nations
No. 1 defence didnt allow a first down.
"We had a ton of ball left and we lost our spunk," Tennessee coach Derek
Dooley said. "That was disappointing to see. We did what we said we
werent going to do and thats get affected if something bad happens in
the game, and we lost our fight.
"When you lose your fight against a great football team, what happened
in the second half is what is going to happen."
Trent Richardson scored two touchdowns in the second half but finished
with 77 yards, leaving him tied with Shaun Alexander for the school mark
of six straight 100-yard rushing games.
This one was more about the Tide righting itself from early struggles
and overpowering an opponent than boosting Richardsons Heisman
credentials.
The offence that sputtered along in the first half exploded for 21
points in the third quarter. The defence that let Tennessee sustain a
couple of drives of double-digit plays for field goals before the half
put the clamps on emphatically.
The end result was a ninth straight win by at least 16 points and a
fifth straight defeat of the Volunteers.
McCarron was 17-of-26 passing though a string of 152 passes without an
interception -- third longest in school history -- ended on his second
attempt.
It also halted Alabamas string of 50 possessions with no turnovers.
Plus, the Tide failed to score on either of its first two possessions
for the first time this season.
Those were just esthetic matters given the final score.
Marquis Maze had five catches for 106 yards, including a 69-yarder.
Matt Simms completed 8 of 17 passes for 58 yards and an interception for
Tennessee a week after facing LSUs defence. Tauren Poole managed 67
yards on 19 rushes.
"Its unfortunate the way the second half unfolded," Simms said. "Its
just something we have to continue to learn from. We have to remember
that the games not over after halftime."
Whatever Saban told McCarron and the Tide at halftime, it clearly
worked.
"He jumped our butts about it," wide receiver Darius Hanks said. "He
said we had to come out and play better. I saw something different in
all of us, the look in our eyes."
McCarron completed his first four passes of the second half for 73
yards, then covered the final two yards himself for the games first
touchdown.
Dooley then summoned one of his five fourth-down gambles, this one in
Tennessee territory. Simms was stuffed just shy on a sneak.
McCarron struck instantly, hitting Kenny Bell in the end zone for a
39-yard touchdown. There was little doubt after that.
Richardson got his 16th rushing touchdown by shrugging off a couple of
attempted arm tackles for a 12-yard score. He added a one-yarder with
9:27 left before heading to the bench.
The Vols cashed in on fourth-down gambles on each of their first-half
field goal drives, including a fake punt that set up Michael Palardys
52-yarder to tie it at 6-6. It was Tennessees longest field goal since
Jeff Halls 53-yarder against Oklahoma State in 1995 and the first second
quarter points the Tide had allowed all season.
It was the last big play for the Vols, offensively or defensively. Then,
McCarron and the Tide defence took over.
"In the first half, they were trying to stop the run early," Richardson
said, "and we just had to come back in the second half and punch them in
the mouth."

Jr.Berkeley, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The 21st-ranked Washington
Huskies will try
to bounce back from their first loss of the 2014-15 season as they open
up
Pac-12 Conference play against the California Golden Bears at Haas
Pavilion.
Washington was 11-0 on the season before the team hosted America East
program
Stony Brook on Sunday. The Huskies suffered their first loss of the new
campaign against the Seawolves, 62-57. Washington is 1-0 away from home
on the
year.

California was 10-1 on the season until two consecutive losses against
Wisconsin (68-56) and CSU Bakersfield (55-52) set the Golden Bears back
to
10-3. This home clash is the sixth contest in a seven-game stretch in
Berkeley
for California.

These two Pac-12 rivals have met a 158 times on the basketball court in
their
series history, and the all-time advantage favors California by just
two
games, 80-78. The programs met last February in Seattle, which saw the
Golden
Bears come away with a 72-59 road win.

Overall, Washington seriously struggled to get any sort of offense
going in
the teams home loss - the first of the season - against Stony Brook.
The
Huskies shot a mere 34.3 percent for the game from the field, and
connected on
only 3-of-10 shooting from 3-point range. The Seawolves did a stellar
job
limiting Washingtons best players, as Nigel Williams-Goss and Robert
Upshaw
each netted 10 points apiece to lead the team as the only Huskies
players in
double digits. Upshaw chipped in 11 rebounds for the double-double, and
Jernard Jarreau added 10 boards in the loss.

Williams-Goss leads a group of four players averraging a double-digit
point
total this season, as the guard is netting 13. Matt Kalil Vikings Jersey. 6 ppg this season with a team- best 80 assists. The Huskies are scoring 70.8 ppg on 44.5 percent shooting
from the floor, but the teams scoring defense has been the real story so far.
Washington is allowing just 58.7 ppg to opponents on an especially low 33.9
shooting percentage. Andrew Andrews (12.0 ppg), Upshaw (10.8 ppg) and Shawn
Kemp Jr. (10.3 ppg) round out the teams double-digit scorers.

California will be hoping for a complete turnaround in terms of offensive
success against the Huskies on Friday. The Golden Bears netted just 39.1
percent of their field goal tries in the teams three-point loss to CSU
Bakersfield, including just 2-of-15 from 3-point distance. Tyrone Wallace led
the way for the Bears with 17 points, also grabbing nine rebounds in the
defeat to come just short of a double-double. David Kravish did complete the
double-double for Cal, netting 14 points with 10 rebounds.

Wallace has played well enough to already garner attention as a potential
Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year candidate. The guard leads the team in
all three major statistical categories. Wallace enters the game against
Washington averaging 19.2 ppg, 8.8 rpg, and has dished out 53 assists in just
under 35 minutes per outing. Jordan Mathews (12.8 ppg) and Kravish (10.6 ppg)
are the teams other two double-digit scorers, although Jabari Bird (11.7 ppg
in six games played) would help out the scoring effort plenty if he were
healthy. He will miss yet another game with a bruised left foot.
