KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Alabama is reaching peak form just in time for its toughest test of the season.The top-ranked Crimson Tide dominated Tennessee 49-10 on Saturday to beat a ranked foe on the road for the second straight week. Alabama next returns home to face No. 6 Texas A&M (6-0, 4-0 SEC) in a game that could go a long way toward determining who represents the Western Division in the Southeastern Conference championship game.I think were going good right now, Alabama tight end O.J. Howard said.Thats a bit of an understatement.Alabama (7-0, 4-0) just delivered one of the most impressive single-game performances by any team all season. Tennessee, which slipped from ninth to 18th in the Top 25 released Sunday, was outgained 594-163 and outrushed 438-32 while dealing with multiple injuries on both sides of the ball.We said we wanted a complete game -- and they certainly did that, Alabama coach Nick Saban said.Indeed, Alabama dominated all phases of the game in the type of outing that should provide plenty of momentum heading into the Texas A&M showdown.The same defense that had yielded 473 yards in a 49-30 victory over Arkansas a week earlier never allowed Tennessee (5-2, 2-2) to move the ball. Tennessees lone touchdown came after the Volunteers recovered a fumble at Alabamas 11-yard line.Tide safety Eddie Jackson said the defense benefited from a meeting the secondary had held earlier in the week.We feel like we were letting the guys up front down, so we stepped it up in practice with one of our best weeks and prepared for this game, Jackson said.Saban noted that Alabama was particularly impressive in third-down defense, as Tennessee went just 3 of 16 in those situations. Alabama will need to continue that progress against a Texas A&M offense averaging an SEC-leading 532.8 yards per game.We havent played great on third down (or) as well as we thought we could this year, Saban said. But we did a great job today. I think that was a big point of emphasis for us going into this game. When you play these no-huddle, fastball teams, when you dont get off the field on third down, they have extended drives. Players get tired. Thats when they get rolling, thats (when) they create momentum.Alabamas defense stopped big plays but continued producing them. Ronnie Harrisons 58-yard interception return was the Tides eighth defensive touchdown of the season. Jackson added a 79-yard punt return for Alabamas 11th non-offensive touchdown of the year.On offense, freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts continues to show remarkable poise in big-game situations. The same guy who orchestrated victories at Mississippi and Arkansas earlier this year ran for 132 yards and three touchdowns against Tennessee.He looks like a junior or senior out there sometimes, Alabama defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson said.Tomlinson says practicing against Hurts all week helps prepare Alabamas defense for mobile quarterbacks. That work paid off Saturday as Tennessees Joshua Dobbs threw for just 92 yards and was sacked three times and held to minus-31 yards on seven carries.Hurts helped Alabama produce its highest single-game rushing total in 30 years Saturday. Bo Scarbrough gained 109 yards -- including an 85-yard touchdown -- and Damien Harris ran for 94 yards. Alabama averaged 8.5 yards per carry thanks to a team effort, as the backs continually benefited from the downfield blocking of the receiving corps.The next step for Hurts is to develop into a more consistent passer. Hurts was 16 of 26 for 143 yards with an interception against Tennessee. He also had a fumble on a sack that led to Tennessees only touchdown.Weve just got to keep on improving in the passing game and get Jalen comfortable because when we play really good teams, some of these runs arent going to be quite so easy and the plays that are there to be made in the passing game, were going to need to make them, Saban said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Acheter Air Jordan 1 Pas Cher .

All the best my friend for the future, tweeted one champion to another. McLaren is a family.It was a brief but interesting comment in the light of Buttons intention to stand aside as a regular F1 driver. Prost took a sabbatical in 1992 and came back to win a fourth title the following year. The difference is that he left Ferrari, took a year off and joined Williams for 1993.The reference to the McLaren family is poignant, not only because Button is staying on board in an ambassadorial role but also because Prost, despite his sincere respect for the Williams management and mechanics, never truly felt at home with the team from Grove. His heart remained at Woking and there is no question that the same applies to Button.The irony here, of course, is that Jenson made his F1 debut with Williams in 2000. This was a major story for the British media back in the day. We had David Coulthard as de facto Number 2 to Mika Hakkinen at McLaren, while Johnny Herbert and Eddie Irvine were making dubious twilight of career moves to mismanaged Jaguar. The prospect of a bright-eyed 20-year-old Englishman joining a much-loved and respected British team had the so-called Fleet Street hacks playing puns with his catchy name long before the contract was signed at the eleventh hour. This was very good news.Nonetheless, a quick look at Buttons F3 record suggested circumspection might be in order. When I suggested the eulogies on Britains next World Champion (to quote a respected motor sport weekly) ought to be put on hold, my name went to the top of John Buttons wanted list as he, quite rightly, looked after the best interests of his son.I made only the briefest comment in The Observer report when Button crashed during qualifying for the first race in Australia. But John had plenty to say when Jenson qualified third at Spa and fifth at Suzuka. As we gathered round for a post-qualifying briefing in Belgium, I clearly remember Button Seniors gravelly voice booming in the background: Wheres that f***ing Irishman who says Jense aint gonna make it? Then a wheezy laugh and an arm around the shoulder, both of which were to become wonderfully familiar over the next decade.ddddddddddddJenson and I were to have a one-to-one interview at the end of the season, and subsequent chats during which he admitted that, perhaps, he could have benefitted from a bit more experience before being thrown in the deep end with a team not noted for its molly-coddling. Button may have finished 8th in the 2000 championship but those qualifying performances on two truly great driver circuits were evidence of a natural gift that did not receive its reward until much later.Confidence and maturity may have come through well-worked results with BAR-Honda but 2009 would be the outstanding season. Yes, the Brawn-Mercedes was the class of the field, but Button made the most of it early on. Which was just as well, because pressure began to take hold in the second half and required Jenson to maintain all of the poise and calm that has characterised his career.The chaotic and delirious post-race scenes in the cramped garage and paddock at Interlagos were as memorable as the season itself. One of my first jobs was to seek out the proud dad who, amid the tears, found time to cheerfully remind me of my prognostication nine years before.The following day, British newspaper reporters had an appointment with Jenson in the coffee bar of the Sheraton Hotel. When wed finished recalling the season and reflecting on his title, Button insisted on giving everyone a hug and personal thanks for a season spent together through good and very little bad.It was typical of Jensons genuine warmth; a humility he would carry with him to McLaren where the self-assurance of a former champions mantle would produce some exquisite fingertip performances. He would quickly become part of the family atmosphere so appreciated by Prost, a driver, appropriately enough, with similar gentle co-ordination in the car and similar grace when out of it. ' ' '
