Cody’s 2 blocked kicks lift Tide past Vols, 12-10

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP)—Mount Cody kept No. 1 Alabama perfect with a pair of super-sized plays.

Terrence Cody, the Crimson Tide’s 350-pound nose guard, blocked a 44-yard field-goal attempt on the final play—his second block of the fourth quarter— and ‘Bama escaped with a 12-10 victory over rival Tennessee on Saturday.

He muscled the Tide to another win, with pure brute force.

“I didn’t really get off the ground,” Cody said. “I just reached my arm up. That’s how I got it. I knocked (the blocker) back. He was on his back.”

Alabama (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) was about to have its bid for perfection knocked down, too.
