Did Terrence Cody save Alabama’s season?
That remains to be seen, but the Crimson Tide got a serious mulligan Saturday thanks to the mammoth nose guard. His first blocked field goal looked like it might be enough for Alabama to survive.
But Alabama needed him to block a second field goal as time expired Saturday to hold off Tennessee 12-10 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The Vols looked like the better team and the fresher team there at the end, but nobody could block Cody and Daniel Lincoln's 44-yard attempt looked low.
In a lot of ways, it was reminiscent of Jarvis Moss blocking South Carolina’s field goal attempt back in 2006 at the Swamp in the final seconds to keep the Gators’ national championship hopes alive.
Alabama fans can only hope it turns out as well for the Crimson Tide, who were able to win without scoring a touchdown.
