beat Portland on Wednesday. Irving saved his best for last, hitting a 3-

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Justin Jones Jersey . -- One thing quarterback AJ McCarron and No. 1 Alabama wont stand for is being labeled something as mundane as "the red team." They prefer the defending national champions, thank you. The Crimson Tide hammered that point home with Saturdays 45-10 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers, who used that anonymous label as a motivational ploy during the week. McCarron said he took that personally and "wanted to come out and score as many points as possible on them" and not leave the game whatever the score. "For (them) to kind of say we havent deserved their respect to call us Alabama, they call us Red Team," McCarron said. "And for their head coach to come out and say they can play against anybody, I dont think were just anybody. "We won two national championships in a row and were undefeated right now. So were not just anybody." Indeed, Alabama (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) has outscored its last six opponents 246-26. T.J. Yeldon scored on three 1-yard runs and McCarron completed 19 of 27 passes for 275 yards and two first-half touchdowns for the Tide, which raced to a 35-0 halftime lead in a thoroughly one-sided rivalry game. Landon Collins returned an interception 89 yards for another score. McCarron threw for a 54-yard touchdown to Amari Cooper and a 22-yarder to Kevin Norwood. It was Coopers longest catch of the season and only his second touchdown. The Volunteers (4-4, 1-3) dropped their seventh straight in the rivalry, tying the most consecutive defeats for either team. They couldnt build on the momentum from an upset of No. 20 South Carolina that snapped a 19-game skid against ranked teams. "We probably played our worst half of football we played all year," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. "Some of that was due to the quality of our opponent and some of that was self-inflicted wounds." Tennessee also won seven in a row from 1995-2001, but Jones program clearly has plenty of catching up to do. Jones might have gotten a head start when he turned to freshman quarterback Josh Dobbs to open the second half in his first college action, replacing a struggling Justin Worley. Worley, who hurt his thumb last week, was 8-of-15 passing for 120 yards and was intercepted twice, including the pick-six to Collins. "(Worley) could have went, but it was hard for him to throw with any velocity, so instead of risking further injury we went with Josh," Jones said. "For a true freshman, playing for the first time in this kind of environment I thought he did very well." Dobbs didnt make Tennessees last road trip to Florida, and seemed destined for a redshirt season. He did seem to provide a second-half spark. Dobbs completed 5 of 12 passes for 75 yards, ran three times for 19 yards. Fellow freshman Marquez North, who helped set up the game-winning score against South Carolina, gained 87 yards on four catches. Rajion Neal ran for 70 yards on 13 carries. Alabamas Kenyan Drake ran for 89 yards on 14 carries while Yeldon ran 15 times for 72 yards in his first three-touchdown game. Kevin Norwood caught six passes for 112 yards, including an acrobatic grab while falling backward in a catch coach Nick Saban called "unbelievable." The Tide, which earlier had a 104-0 scoring binge ended, had allowed only nine points in its first four home games. Neals 3-yard run early in the fourth quarter was the first touchdown Alabama had allowed at Bryant-Denny Stadium this season. "We knew Tennessee was a team that could play with anybody in the country," Saban said. "I think it was a challenge for our guys to prove who we were and how we could play against them." Dobbs didnt complete a pass on his first drive but Neals 43-yard run set up Michael Palardys field to snap Alabamas string of unanswered points. That was the fifth-biggest such streak in Tide history, going back to the third quarter of the Kentucky game on Oct. 12. Tennessee did have early scoring chances. Worley misfired on fourth-and-7 from Alabamas 34. He led the Vols to the Tide 24 late in the first half but Collins then returned an interception the distance in the final seconds. Collins took over the starting spot this week when Vinnie Sunseri went down with a season-ending knee injury against Arkansas. Alabama starting nose tackle Brandon Ivory missed the game for unspecified medical reasons. Saban said running back Jalston Fowler sustained a concussion in the first half, and he didnt return. Saban had urged early-departing students to stick around for the full game. One responded with a sign saying, "Well stay for 60 if you stay forever." "That sounds good to me," responded Saban, the subject of job rumours each off-season. "Im too damn old to go someplace else and start over, I can tell you that." Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys .

Now he has LeBron James and Kyrie Irving on his side and the Cleveland Cavaliers are expecting to contend for a title.With the Timberwolves, he was the focal point, putting up eye-popping numbers and earning three All-Star berths. In Cleveland, all of those numbers have dropped significantly while the wins have soared, leaving Love to make the same kind of adjustment that Chris Bosh did when he joined James in Miami.When asked if it was a struggle to adapt, Love said Id be lying if I told you it wasnt. But finding different ways to be as efficient as possible, because its something I prided myself on here. Theres different ways to affect the game; Im still learning that here, but we still have 35-plus games left. With that, well continue to evolve and change and get better.Love is averaging nine fewer points, five fewer shots and shooting worse from the field and 3-point line than he did last season with the Wolves and will not be joining James and Irving in New York for All-Star weekend. But the Cavaliers are 29-20 and have won 10 straight games after beating Minnesota on Saturday night.Im in a situation now where were winning basketball games, Love said. And Im happy with that.Even as Andrew Wiggins shows signs of becoming a star in Minnesota after the Cavaliers traded him, James is happy having Love by his side.I just think his basketball I.Q., people dont see that, James said. The way he stretches the floor for us, his rebounding, his basketball I.Q. is really high and it adds to our team. It adds to our team as far as everything — knowing where guys are both offensively and defensively and hes been great. Caleb Sturgis Chargers Jersey.
