Social media reacts to Tennessee QB Keller Chryst leading 2 TD drives against Alabama

The Tennessee Volunteers have some life at halftime against Alabama.

The Vols starting QB Jarrett Guarantano left the game with an injury in the second quarter, and backup QB (and Stanford transfer) Keller Chryst came into the game and led two straight TD drives.

Chryst hit RB Ty Chandler on the first drive, and he hit WR Tyler Byrd for a 20-yard TD pass late in the second quarter.

The Crimson Tide lead Alabama 42-14 at halftime.
