It’s been a miserable season for Tennessee football. On Saturday, the Vols lost their seventh SEC game of the year to fall to 0-7 and assure they wouldn’t make a bowl game. Combining that with the decision to fire Butch Jones before the season ended, and by every metric this year has been horrendous.
But on Saturday night, as they suffered a blowout loss at home, nobody could really blame the coaching or effort.
Amidst everything that happened, the players showed up and displayed a ton of excitement at kickoff. Even the fans made their way to the stadium to cheer on their team in a lost season.
