Injuries are a part of the game, and Tennessee was hit with a pretty big one in the first half against Bowling Green. Thankfully, it doesn’t appear to be serious.
Cooper Mays, the younger brother of Cade and starting center this season for Tennessee, went down early with what appeared to be a lower leg injury. He was forced to leave the game, which meant sliding over Jerome Carvin to center and inserting Ollie Lane at guard.
The injury did seem to stall the offense a bit in the second quarter, as the Volunteers struggled to move the ball after back to back touchdown drives to open the game.
