It wasn’t quite what we envisioned all summer long, but the Tennessee ground game did plenty of positive things on Saturday against West Virginia. It just came from a guy that really wasn’t at the front of our radar. It was sophomore back Tim Jordan handling the load for Tennessee.
Jordan got the bulk of the work after Ty Chandler went down, turning 20 carries into 118 yards and a touchdown. Jordan ran angry — almost John Kelly-like. You could tell that by simply watching the game, but that notion was backed up by the staff at Pro Football Focus.
