KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee running back Alvin Kamara wants to carry the momentum of a career-best performance into Saturdays showdown with his former team.Kamara gained a school-record 312 all-purpose yards -- the second-highest total by a Football Bowl Subdivision player all season -- in a 45-38 overtime loss last week at No. 6 Texas A&M, which was ranked eighth at the time.I feel like I could have done more, but I feel like it was a pretty good statement game, Kamara said.Tennessee would love to see Kamara make a similar statement Saturday when the ninth-ranked Volunteers (5-1, 2-1 SEC) host No. 1 Alabama (6-0, 3-0).Kamara began his college career at Alabama, though he never played a down for the Crimson Tide. After redshirting in 2013, Kamara transferred and spent the 2014 season at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College before arriving at Tennessee last year.This marks the second time Kamara has faced his former team. He had five carries for 21 yards and four catches for 44 yards in a 19-14 loss at Alabama last season.I do still have friends at Alabama, Kamara said. We talk and just pray for each others safety every game and just keep up with each other. Its another game. I was at Alabama a couple of years ago. Im at Tennessee now, loving my teammates, loving where Im at right now. Thats all Im focused on.Kamara was suspended twice and struggled with injuries during his brief stint at Alabama, yet the junior from Norcross, Georgia, has developed into a leader at Tennessee.His emergence has caught the attention of his former coach.Alvin, to me, is an outstanding player, Alabama coach Nick Saban said. I think hes got great speed. Hes very instinctive. Hes a very good receiver, very good at running the ball inside or out, and (he) uses his speed to his advantages on the perimeter.Kamara commands such respect from his teammates that he was the only non-senior chosen as one of four team captains this season.When he speaks, guys listen, quarterback Joshua Dobbs said.Kamara has shown his leadership in the way hes handled his situation as part of a running-back tandem with Jalen Hurd. Through Tennessees first five games, Hurd had 101 carries and seven catches while Kamara had 38 rushes and 12 receptions.With an unspecified injury sidelining Hurd last week, Tennessee needed a big performance from Kamara. He responded by rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries while also catching eight passes for 161 yards and one score.His 18-yard touchdown reception with 41 seconds left helped force overtime as Tennessee erased a 28-7 deficit. Kamara also returned three punts for eight yards and had a 16-yard kickoff return.I dont think Ive been around a performance like that in a long time, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said.Kamaras 312 all-purpose yards broke the school record of 294 set by Chuck Webb against Mississippi in 1989. The only Football Bowl Subdivision player to have more all-purpose yards in a game this season is Florida States Dalvin Cook with 329 against South Florida.His performance was so noteworthy that even Los Angeles Rams running back and former Georgia star Todd Gurley tweeted Stop being so good bro (at)A-kamara6, a reference to Kamaras Twitter handle. Kamara said he has spoken with Gurley since the game.He was just (saying to) keep working hard and youre going to receive everything youre looking for, Kamara said.Kamaras big game may give him a bigger role, even whenever Hurd returns.Jones hasnt updated Hurds injury status and potential availability this week, though Hurd was at Tuesdays practice in a green non-contact jersey. Kamara says he hasnt gotten frustrated about his lack of carries in certain games, but his performance last week spoke volumes about his capabilities.I just do whats asked of me, Kamara said.

North Melbourne great Brent Harvey might not be angry at his AFL club, but plenty of supporters remain livid at the Kangaroos shock cull.Harvey admitted he was a bit flat and sad after being informed this week he would not be offered a contract for next season, along with teammates Drew Petrie, Nick Dal Santo and Michael Firrito.The AFLs games record holder released a heartfelt message on his Facebook page on Thursday as backlash over his axing continued to grow.Angry supporters are planning a protest at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night when the Roos take on Greater Western Sydney in what could be the last game the quartet play in Melbourne.An online petition calling for the club to reverse its decision and offer Harvey a one-year deal has also been set up, with more than 3300 signatures gathered by Thursday evening.North and coach Brad Scott were roundly criticised over the timing and manner of Wednesdays announcement.The eighth-placed Roos still have a finals series to contest and premiership player David King has deemed the announcement - in a media release via Twitter - befitting of a rookies delisting, not someone of Harveys standing.Harvey, however, did his best to diffuse tensions.He admits he would have broken down had he fronted the media to speak about the end of his career with the Kangaroos and added his demand to know his fate had played a part in the timming.ddddddddddddRight now, I feel a bit flat and sad because I wont be playing at North Melbourne next year, Harvey wrote.But that was always going to be the case no matter when my career at Arden Street ended.I know there are a lot of angry and disappointed fans out there and I love you all for your passion and care for me in this situation.But I need you all to know that Im ok with whats happened.Its okay to feel upset, Brad and those in charge had a tough decision to make. Im not angry at them about it at all, and have been in footy long enough to understand how it all works and that no individual is ever, bigger than the club.More than anything, I appreciate Brads honesty because I put him in a difficult situation when I asked to know where I stood. He did the right thing and told us all the truth.All four players were offered the opportunity to address the media on Wednesday but declined. Harvey said this wasnt because he was too angry and that he would speak publicly when the time was right.It is considered unlikely Harvey will seek to play on at another club, but he has said he will contemplate his future after the Roos season is over.Firrito also took to social media to thank the club for its support over the course of his career.
