Once a rival of Tennessee football with the Vanderbilt Commodores, SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers gave the most honest and detailed breakdown of the critical fumble in the Vols’ 35-13 loss at the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. And he didn’t sugarcoat who was at fault.
At the time, UT was down 28-13 midway through the fourth quarter. They had brought up a 4th and goal from inside the one-yard line. A touchdown would cut it to 28-20 and make it a game. Jarrett Guarantano tried to go up and over on a quarterback sneak, but he fumbled the ball, and Trevon Diggs returned it 100 yards the other way for a score and a 35-13 lead.
