Derek Dooley didn’t talk much about Alabama during his Monday press conference. The Tennessee coach spent the majority of his 30-minute press conference discussing the ways his 3-3 team needs to improve in order to pick up its first conference win of the season. But when he did bring up the Crimson Tide, his words were as similarly strong as the numerous other opposing coaches who have heaped praise on Alabama during the week leading up to the game. “We all know about Alabama,” he said. “They’ve been the standard in college football in the last four years.”
