We knew it wouldn’t be all rainbows and sunshine for the Tennessee offense once SEC play began. The Volunteers absolutely set the world on fire during the non-conference portion of the schedule, which included an absolute dismantling of NC State in Charlotte.

Let’s face it, the Tennessee offense has been bad through two games of conference play. The Volunteers dealt with injuries on the offensive line against Oklahoma, giving us plenty of excuses to lean on.
