For the first time all season, we actually had a hard time trimming down the list of Tennessee football players who deserved to earn Smokey Points. In every game through their 2-3 start, it was the exact opposite.
We had to reach to find Vols who stepped up at times. But on Saturday, the opposite rang true. There were legitimately 10 to 15 guys who all played great and deserved recognition. But, as always, we can only recognize the top guys.
So as we get set to bring you our Tennessee football helmet stickers from Saturday’s win over the Auburn Tigers, know that there are numerous other guys who belong on this list and just didn’t make the cut.
