Two weeks after blowing a 14 point fourth quarter lead against Oklahoma, the Vols blew a 13 point fourth quarter lead in The Swamp in even more difficult fashion. Butch Jones is going to wear this loss for a long time.
I said in the middle of last week that no outcome in today's game would be the first or last word on Butch Jones. But what we will have now, with no escaping it, is the current word on Butch Jones. Whatever confidence we had in his ability to close and/or win games like this went into the shredder in the last ten minutes of this game.
