With chaos ensuing in the college football world last week with half of the nations Top 10 -- including the Nos. 2, 3, and 4 teams -- all losing, No. 1 Alabama delivered a message as it emerged as the only undefeated team from a Power 5 conference.And that message?The message is when you win, you control your own destiny, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said. When you dont, you allow someone else to determine what your fates going to be. We have all these teams that lost one game now.Somebody has to decide who gets to do what.Top-ranked Alabama (10-0) hosts Chattanooga (8-2) on Saturday (7 p.m. ET, ESPN2) at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.Almost, but not quite, overlooked as the upsets of No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Michigan, No. 4 Ohio State, No. 8 Texas A&M, and No. 9 Auburn rolled in during the afternoon and evening last weekend was that the Crimson Tide clinched the SEC West.The 52-3 rout of Mississippi State coupled with Auburns loss at Georgia left them with a two-game cushion in the standings with only one SEC game left on the card. No matter what happens now, Alabama is a lock to play in the SEC championship game in Atlanta on Dec. 3.Also, no matter how it fares against Auburn in the Iron Bowl, the Tide looks to be heavily favored to beat the East winner -- either Florida or Tennessee -- in the title game and likely advance to the College Football Playoff. But although the Tide has overcome a loss to capture three of its four national titles under Saban, the coach wants no slip-ups down the stretch.If you put yourself in that situation, you let somebody else decided what your fate is, Saban said. If you take care of your business and do things the way you need to do it, then maybe you can control your own destiny in the way you play.Thats certainly much more the way we would like for it to be from our perspective. Weve got lots of tough games we have to play between now and then. We want to take it one game at a time and focus on improving.Alabama is on a 22-game winning streak, the longest of Sabans tenure and the third-longest in program history.Thats something that we take and try and keep going, Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart said. Coach talks about it every week, all week, that you cant get complacent and you have to do all the little things right. Thats something we take pride in and try to do every week.The Tide put up impressive numbers against Mississippi State. Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts became the first quarterback in Alabama history to throw for 300 yards (347) and rush for 100 yards (100) in the same game as he accounted for 447 yards of total offense, third-best in school history.Stewart became only the sixth player in program history to have three touchdown receptions in one game, and tight end O.J. Howard caught six passes for a season-high 77 yards with four of receptions resulting in first downs.We made a lot of explosive plays on offense, and executed in the passing game more efficiently and effectively, Saban said. Defensively, we made stops when we needed to when they made plays.Meanwhile, Chattanooga was losing for only the second time this season, a 36-28 setback to Wofford that dropped the Mocs five spots to No. 12 in the STATS media poll.Chattanooga is looking forward to the trip to Tuscaloosa.Our guys will be excited to play, Mocs coach Russ Huesman said. I think everybody knows this is the best team in the country. Our players know they have tremendous players, and I know they have tremendous coaches, very smart people there.Watching film, theyre not only athletic, but they do things right in all phases of the game. Its going to be a tough test, and were looking forward to it.Alabama won all 12 meetings, including 49-0 in the last encounter in 2013.Cheap Ray Ban Free Shipping . But what about the officials?

William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period.

He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ty Montgomery can line up split wide on one play for the Green Bay Packers and take a handoff the next as a running back.Hes listed as a receiver on the roster, but lately Montgomery has spent just as much time in the backfield.In just two games, Montgomery has gone from non-factor to key contributor in Green Bay.I guess Im a hybrid, Montgomery said. I dont really know what you call it. I like to say Im a football player, because I feel comfortable anywhere.Its a good thing for the Packers that Montgomery is comfortable enough in the backfield . They would have been in dire straits without him in last weeks 26-10 win over the Chicago Bears.Eddie Lacy is on injured reserve with a left ankle injury. Backup James Starks remains sidelined with a knee injury.Rookie Don Jackson, who had just been elevated to the practice squad before the Bears game, hurt his left hand in that contest and didnt play after the second quarter. Newly acquired Knile Davis is still getting up to speed on the Packers offense after being traded from Kansas City.That left Montgomery taking the majority of snaps at running back. Its similar to the all-purpose role that Randall Cobb plays in certain formations, though with much more frequency.For Montgomery, that means having to be well-versed in the playbook in two positions.I dont know how he does it, to be honest, Jackson said Thursday, because thats a lot of information, and I struggle with this one.Experience helps, even if it is just Montgomerys second season in the NFL.Montgomery, who missed practice Thursday because of illness, had some success in a change-of-pace look out of the backfield before an ankle injury in Week 6 sidelined him for the season. He was an all-purpose star in college at Stanford, where he caught 172 passes for 2,215 yards and 15 touchdowns in his career, along with 334 yards and four scores on nine carries.Montgomery and Cobb have both taken snaps in the backfield this year before injuries sidelined Lacy and Starks. Now Montgomery is playing more of a featured role out of the backfield, at least perhaps until Davis is reaady to take on more carries.ddddddddddddMontgomery has 10 catches in each of the last two games after not having a reception in the Packers first four. With Montgomery effective on routes in the flat or as a check-down option, short passes have helped make up for a lack of rushing attack.You cant really say hes a running back, hes a receiver. Hes just a versatile football player whos very successful at what hes able to do, offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett said. Hes a matchup nightmare for a lot of different teams.CLAYS DAYLinebacker Clay Matthews was limited Thursday after missing practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury. Matthews missed a game earlier this year with ankle and hamstring injuries in the same week. The Packers, who had their bye in Week 4, are coming off a long weekend after playing on Thursday night last week. Green Bay plays 10 straight weeks through the end of the season.So, I think were just being smart and cautious, especially with this 10-game run in which we have, Matthews said. Youd hate for something to happen and be out several weeks.ON THE MOVEThe Packers waived Jared Abbrederis on Thursday after reaching an injury settlement with the receiver. Abbrederis (quad) had been placed on injured reserve Monday. An in-state resident who starred in college at Wisconsin, Abbrederis was a fifth-round draft pick in 2014. But his Packers career was marked by injuries. Abbrederis had one catch for 8 yards this season, and 10 catches for 119 yards in his career.INJURY REPORTT.J.
