How do you give out the grades on this one? For the first part of the season, Tennessee football had failing grades across the board. That’s what comes with an 0-2 start when you lose both games at home to Group of Five schools and have everybody ready to turn on your program and your head coach.
However, such a strong finish is naturally going to do the opposite and result in aces across the board. After all, you can’t overstate six straight wins to close out the season, including a two-touchdown comeback with five minutes left to win the Gator Bowl.
