As Tennessee football heads into its bye week, it’s safe to say the start of the season has been a complete disaster. In fact, it may have been the most disastrous start in the history of the modern era of the program, and that includes the 0-6 start under Johnny Majors in 1988.
The Vols are 1-3 with two losses to Group of Five programs at home, including a Sun Belt team that was 2-10 last year, and a 34-3 loss to the only Power Five team it has faced. and they have still not beaten an FBS team.
