Tennessees ability to conjure up comebacks caught the attention of Alabama coach Nick Saban.With the No. 1 Crimson Tide and No. 9 Volunteers meeting at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS) at Knoxvilles Neyland Stadium, Saban this week emphasized to his players the need to play a full 60 minutes.We cant relax in games, we cant have lapses in the game, Saban said. We always talk about no scoreboard, keep playing. When you relax, you let the momentum of the game change, and thats hard to get back.And the way people score points now, there have been numerous games where people were ahead by 21 points and end up losing the game. I think for everybody on the team to understand that, whether you play on special teams, offense or defense, is really important.The Vols (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) scored three touchdowns over the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter last week to send their game at Texas A&M into overtime. Tennessees seventh turnover of the game in the second overtime session resulted in a 45-38 loss.Earlier this season, the Volunteers came from 17-7 down at Georgia to win 34-31 on a Hail Mary as time ran out, overcame a 21-0 second-quarter deficit to beat Florida 38-28, erased a 14-0 deficit to top Virginia Tech 45-24, and overcame a 13-3 halftime deficit against Appalachian State to win 20-13 in overtime by recovering a fumble in the end zone.This game is one of the great rivalries in the South.Though in different divisions of the SEC -- Alabama in the West, Tennessee in the East -- they play each other every year, and the Tide (6-0, 3-0) has won the last nine meetings.This game is a really big rivalry game and a special one for a lot of people in our state, our supporters and our fans, Saban said. Its obviously a big game for our players as well, and its very challenging to play this game on the road as it always is because theres always a lot of energy and enthusiasm.Tennessee, I think, has an outstanding team.But one that is now in a precarious position in its division race.The loss to the Aggies did more than just take something out of the aura of invincibility that the Vols created with their comebacks.It also pinned them with their first conference defeat. With Florida also sitting at one loss and its game with LSU in jeopardy following a postponement, a second conference loss could put the Vols behind the Gators in the final standings and knock them out of the conference title game.Turnovers were a huge factor in the loss to the Aggies. The Vols lost five fumbles and quarterback Joshua Dobbs was intercepted twice. Probably more than anything else, that is what irked Tennessee coach Butch Jones.I have been very outspoken about it, Jones said, and everyone in our program understands that you cant turn the football over.Other than that, Dobbs played a superb game, completing 28 of 47 passes for 398 yards and a touchdown and rushing for a net 57 yards despite losing 29 yards on four sacks.With running back Jalen Hurd out due to a lower extremity injury, Alvin Kamara picked up the slack with 127 yards rushing. Hurd is expected back for the Alabama game.Two players who definitely wont be available for Tennessee are defensive tackle Danny OBrien and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin. OBrien sustained a head injury in the loss to Texas A&M, and he subsequently was dismissed from the team for a rules violation.Reeves-Maybin also is out with a shoulder injury that could require surgery.He is still looking at different options for what he wants to pursue, Jones said regarding a possible operation. He has all the time he needs to make that decision. I think he has earned that right.That is not good with the Vols facing a Tide offense featuring freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is averaging more than 256 yards a game in total offense, and sophomore running back Damien Harris, who has three 100-yard rushing games this season.I think this is the best Alabama team we have faced since we have been here, Jones said. Not to take anything away from other teams. They have all been very talented. Cheap New York Giants Jerseys .

Cheap Minnesota Vikings Jerseys . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Brandon Childress is trying to make a name for himself at Wake Forest.Thats quite a challenge for the son of Randolph Childress -- one of the best players in program history and a current assistant coach at the school.Brandon Childress called it a gift and a curse being my fathers son in an interview with The Associated Press, but is embracing the tough task that comes with living up to the family name.Randolph Childress made a school-record 329 3-pointers and scored 2,208 points -- more than every other Wake Forest player in the past 60 years -- from 1990-95 before becoming a first-round draft pick and beginning a 16-year pro career that included stints in the NBA and in Europe.No ones asking his son to duplicate those numbers, of course, though father and son do have some similarities in their game . Both are pure shooters, though itll be tough to match what Dad did in 1995.Randolph scored an Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament-record 107 points over three days, hitting a memorable jumper over a fallen-down Jeff McInnis after a crossover move before hitting the go-ahead leaner in the final seconds of overtime to beat North Carolina for the title.Randolph said Brandon earned the scholarship and hasnt been given anything because of family ties. Scout.com rated Brandon as a three-star recruit out of Wesleyan Christian in nearby High Point.I wanted him to go through the (recruiting) process and know Im not going to push you, and Im not the one thats bringing you here, Randolph said. You earned the right to be here.Instead, theyre asking more of him because of his familiarity with the university, the program and the system: Randolph has been on Wake Forests staff since 2012, and though he was born in Detroit, Brandon lists his hometown as Winston-Salem.The expectation for Brandon is that he comes in, he grasps the system and hes got a head start on all of our freshmen because hes been around the last twwo years, coach Danny Manning said.dddddddddddd. So his standard is probably a little bit higher than the other freshmen in that regard.From the outside, it might seem like the younger Childress was always headed to Wake Forest because he saw one of the key recruiters every day.Not the case, both father and son insist.Brandon said his dad didnt put a finger in my recruiting at all and didnt even accompany him on his official visits, but did offer advice on what to expect during the recruiting process. Randolph says that was because he knew his son had to come to a decision on his own.Stanford, Clemson, East Carolina, Charlotte and UNC Greensboro were the main other schools that showed interest, Brandon said.A lot of people think it was simple, but it really wasnt, he said. A lot of schools always wanted to say, `Ah, hes going to play for his father, when I told several coaches that right now, I dont want to play for my father -- I just want to go on my own, and a lot of schools didnt want to give me the opportunity.Turns out, the one school that offered him what he wanted most -- a chance to play in the ACC -- was the one where Dad works.There were always going to be people questioning or saying things -- `Oh, you just went there because of your dad -- and I wanted him to be able to say, your recruitment went through a coaching change (from Jeff Bzdelik to Manning) as well, so you earned that opportunity to come here, Randolph said. There were no strings to tie, there were no promises made or assumptions made that youre going to be here. All I told him was, youre going to work to get here, how difficult it was to get here and once you got here, you had to work even harder.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
