It got worse. Tennessee football appeared on the rebound after suffering a horrible upset loss to the Georgia State Panthers. But they allowed a deep pass with seconds left while up 16-13 to allow the BYU Cougars to hit a game-tying field goal and then win in overtime.
The Vols blew a 13-3 lead in the second half, falling not just to 0-2 but 0-2 while leading at halftime. Jeremy Pruitt’s seat is officially exploding as a result, and the panic that set in last week is real. This is not a good team.
BYU scored two touchdowns on overtime, while the Vols hit a touchdown and a field goal.
