There aren’t many stories as heartwarming as the one surrounding Tennessee football this year. On a glorious night in Lexington, the Vols did what they always do, which is beat the Kentucky Wildcats. But the win was symbolic of how they are back from the dead.
Earlier in the season, these guys were completely written off. Two losses at home to Group of Five programs had this team at 0-2 and put going 1-11 on the table. Jarrett Guarantano was done after he lost his starting position coming off the Vols’ last bye week, in which they were 1-3.
