The Tennessee offense has been dreadful over the last two seasons. Most of that has been due to a struggling offensive line and youth at the quarterback position. In 2019, Tennessee returns 17 starters overall, but none will be more important than redshirt junior quarterback Jarrett Guarantano.
Now, in Jim Chaney’s offense and entering year four, it’s Guarantano’s time to take ownership of this team.
Aside from Tyson Helton, I’m not sure there was a more polarizing figure in the Tennessee football program than Jarrett Guarantano. The redshirt sophomore drew plenty of ire from the fans for holding the ball too long, and along with Helton, got considerable blame for Tennessee’s inability or unwillingness to consistently push the ball downfield through the air.
