This season just keeps getting worse for Tennessee and head coach Butch Jones.

The Volunteers lost to No. 1 Alabama by a final score of 45-7 on Saturday. The lone touchdown was even scored by the Volunteers defense which means Tennessee has now gone three straight SEC games without an offensive touchdown.

The hot seat talk will continue for Jones, and it is fair to wonder if Tennessee will win another game this season. The Volunteers will go on the road to take on Kentucky next weekend in another game that will likely have Tennessee as an underdog.

Jones and the Vols will look to regroup, and here is what he had to say following another loss to Alabama:

Butch Jones on the unsportsmanlike penalty: “That’s unacceptable. Will be handled internally. I’ve spoken to him and he feels bad about it.” — Matt Scalici (@MattScalici) October 21, 2017

Butch Jones on the hardest part of this last month: "It's all about our players. … I hurt for them. Our leadership is being challenged." — Jesse Simonton (@JesseReSimonton) October 21, 2017

Jones: We make big plays in practice. We just have to carry it over to game day. — Rocky Top Insider (@rockytopinsider) October 21, 2017

Butch: You’re not gonna be able to march downfield methodically against Alabama. You have to be able to make big plays. — Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) October 21, 2017

Jones on the failed flea flicker: It was a miscommunication with the running back and the wide receivers — Rocky Top Insider (@rockytopinsider) October 21, 2017
