It’s season first time since 2007 that the Tennessee Vols will have more than seven wins. That is a huge step in the brick-by-brick process that Butch Jones has been stressing.
The Vols dominated Derek Mason’s Commodores 53-28 despite Vanderbilt threatening with a few nice offensive drives in the first half and a big fourth and goal stop in the second half.
Jones and Mike DeBord brought in a perfect offensive game plan, and John Jancek did well enough, making proper adjustments in the second half.
All of it made for a complete performance at Neyland Stadium, and the Vols took full advantage of the back end of their schedule this season.
