That was. . . instructive. But it was not fun, as the Vols were unable to get anything going on offense in a 24-21 loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia Saturday night. What can we learn? To the trends!
TRENDING UP:
- Clarity in defeat. As Will pointed out about the 2014 comeback in Columbia, the big things about the Vols program being on the upswing would've been true whether they won or lost, but the truth was much clearer in victory. This year is the opposite. All of the big things about an underachieving and undisciplined 2016 Tennessee squad would've been true whether the Vols won or lost.
