Tide rolls to halftime with lead
September 08, 2007
Two high-powered, experienced offenses have run into SEC defenses in Nashville. Alabama has harassed Chris Nickson throughout the first half. Nickson is just 5-of-17 for 67 yards. He was intercepted by Rashad Johnson late in the first quarter. His longest completion was 17 yards, once to star receiver Earl Bennett, once to former Charles Henderson receiver Justin Green, who is playing tight end for Vandy.
Tide QB John Parker Wilson is 10-for-21 with an interception. He floated a couple passes near the sideline and threw into double coverage a few times. Still, Alabama is controlling the line of scrimmage. It has 13 first downs to Vandy’s 4, and 200 yards in the first half to Vandy’s 111.
After Terry Grant’s 1-yard TD run, Leigh Tiffin has kicked field goals of 20, 40 and 29 yards.
