We didn’t exactly know what to expect from the Tennessee secondary this season, but we did feel good about at least one spot. Jermod McCoy joined the Volunteers this offseason, coming over from Oregon State after a brilliant true freshman season. Now just a sophomore, it was quickly apparent that he was going to lead this cornerback group, and on Saturday night he showed why.
McCoy helped Tennessee shut down the Oklahoma passing attack, which eventually led to the Sooners placing five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold on the bench. McCoy was a menace for Arnold, making a few impact plays to force Oklahoma off the field in the first half.
