Tennessee fans got the full Jarrett Guarantano experience on Saturday afternoon in Athens. The fifth-year senior quickly became the Vols’ best chance to win, as Georgia’s front seven made it obvious that Tennessee wouldn’t be able to run the ball early on.
With the offensive line struggling to generate a push, Jim Chaney focused on the passing attack. Although it took a few drives, thanks to several penalties, Guarantano and Josh Palmer finally opened up the Tennessee offense. Guarantano found Palmer for two scores, pushing the Volunteers to a lead before halftime.
To that point, Guarantano had done just about everything as well as he possibly could.
