A resounding 41-21 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks has the Tennessee Volunteers feeling like the 2019 season has new life. What was once a 1-3 team with no hopes of a bowl game has turned into a 3-5 team that appears to have consistently improved in each of the past four weeks. Their next four games might be the easiest of the season, with UAB, an inconsistent Kentucky team, a Missouri squad in a tailspin, and a 2-5 Vanderbilt on tap.
What happened? It’s a vague question, but it’s pretty appropriate for what we have all witnessed since the end of that Florida game.
