Tennessee Head Coach Addresses Online Rumor About Punching Player

What started as a season of hope and promise is beginning to spiral out of control for the Tennessee Volunteers and their coach, Butch Jones. A team that was expected to compete for the SEC East Division and the conference as a whole, the Vols sit at 2-3 and have blown two late, double digit leads in their last two games.

With the rival Georgia Bulldogs traveling to Knoxville this weekend, Jones is now having to address a rumor that has started on the internet recently. It accused Jones of punching offensive lineman Mack Crowder during a practice.
