Tennessee's Will Brooks heroically picked off Jalen Milroe secure Vols' win over Alabama

Tennessee had already pulled ahead to a seven-point lead at home against Alabama with less than two minutes left on the clock. But the Crimson Tide had the ball and a chance to pull off an incredible drive to at least tie the game.

Enter Volunteers defensive back Will Brooks, whose heroics sealed the 24-17 victory for Tennessee, delivering Alabama's second loss of the season and marking the first time the Crimson Tide have two losses before November since 2007.

After Tennessee's Max Gilbert kicked a 41-yard field goal to give his team a 24-17 lead, Alabama got the ball back for its final drive with 1:30 left on the clock. On Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe's first pass from Tennessee's 25-yard line, Brooks picked off the pass and secured the victory.

It was Milroe's second interception of the game.

Aside from the rivalry, this was one of the most anticipated Week 8 games because of the major College Football Playoff implications. It certainly wasn't a playoff game, but Alabama now has an uphill climb to stay in the playoff conversation.
