Not that anyone needs a further dose of depression. How many years has Nick Saban LITERALLY take his foot off the gas against the Vols to keep from even worse embarrassment?

By my count that is 6 of 10 years where we not just soundly beaten, but embarrassed like a FCS school trying to get into FBS and taking a beating for a payday.
Honestly Nick Saban has been merciful. Actually, he's been wise. Hang 70 or 80 and you may steel enough resolve to wake the sleeping giant. Take your foot off the gas and pat em on the head and we just go back to sleep.
