TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- 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." Wholesale Shoes .

The third-ranked Buckeyes were down eight points to Notre Dame with less than 2 minutes to play and their offence was nowhere to be found. Wholesale Shoes USA . Compared to what hes gone through in recent weeks, that seemed like a breeze. Speaking to The Associated Press on Friday at an NBA Cares event, Silver said hes thrilled that the leagues attention can be on the championship series between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs -- and not, as it was for so much of the post-season, on the off-the-court matters involving the banishment of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and now the looming sale of that franchise.CLEVELAND - The Browns have their sixth offensive co-ordinator in six years.Cleveland hired John DeFilippo, a former Oakland assistant who has a reputation for developing young quarterbacks, to run its offence on Wednesday. He fills the vacancy created when Kyle Shanahan resigned after one season on Jan. 8 with two years left on his contract.DeFilippo has worked as a college co-ordinator but not in the same capacity in the NFL. Hes inheriting an offence with some talent and potential but also has uncertainty at quarterback.DeFilippo previously worked for one season with Browns coach Mike Pettine, who is thrilled to be reunited with his former colleague.The things John brings to the table are exactly what we were looking for. Hes the total package, said Pettine, who worked with DeFilippo on the New York Jets staff. Hes very bright. He has great energy about him, great passion. Loves the game. Works extremely well with other people. You could see that when I brought him in and had a chance to meet with not just the offensive staff, but he spent time with the defensive staff.That was a big part of it, making sure we werent bringing in just a playbook; we were bringing in a good person, Pettine said. That, to me, is one of the biggest reasons why hes here.The 36-year-old DeFilippo, who is from Youngstown, Ohio, spent 2014 grooming Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr. Under DeFilippos guidance, Carr passed for 3,270 yards and 21 touchdowns in 16 starts. In 2009, he tutored then-rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez, who led the Jets to the AFC championship game.Pettine said DeFilippos ability to work with quarterbacks was a major part of his appeal.I think he has an exxcellent way with those guys, Pettine said.dddddddddddd. He can be tough on them and at the same time, not have them tune him out. I think he holds those guys accountable. I think they feel his energy and they feel his passion and its contagious.DeFilippo interviewed with Cleveland last year. Hes eager to bring some fresh ideas to the Browns, but stressed he may keep some elements of Clevelands offence implemented by Shanahan intact.Were not going to just scrap something just because Im here, he said. I dont have that type of ego. If somethings good that our players do well and they know, were going to keep doing it.Before rejoining the Raiders in 2012, DeFilippo spent two years at San Jose State, serving as offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2011. With DeFilippo calling plays, the Spartans ranked 23rd overall in passing yardage and San Jose State rose 32 spots in total offence from the previous season.DeFilippo wants to be a long-term solution to a position that has been in continuous flux. He hopes this is the last change for these guys for a long time.The Browns were 7-4 and in playoff contention before losing their final five games. The team also benched starting quarterback Brian Hoyer in favour of rookie Johnny Manziel, who played poorly in two starts before injuring his hamstring and missing Clevelands season finale.Pettine has called Clevelands quarterback situation muddy at best. Manziel failed to live up to expectations and Hoyer is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in March.The Browns are still looking for a wide receivers and quarterbacks coach.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
