By the end of the third quarter, the season was over. Tennessee was rolling and there was little indication it could be stopped. Running back Jalen Hurd was too big and too strong. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs was too efficient and too explosive. There wasn't an area of the game in which the teams looked to be at least even.
This episode played out twice in the span of a year.
The first time it happened was on Jan. 2, 2015 in the Taxslayer Bowl, a game in which the Volunteers throttled Iowa. They led 42-7 after three quarters.
