Saturday’s 43-14 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs was just another blowout loss to a Power Five program for Tennessee football and another loss overall to an FBS program. In two games against Group of Five schools and two games against Power Five schools, the Vols are 0-4.
However, there were some individuals who gave some signs of life, and that is relevant heading into this week. The loss to Georgia was expected, even after a bye. But the sparks provided with a quarterback switch, which spotted them a 14-10 lead, now come with expectations to build on that in a home game against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
