The task of beating a legendary SEC team on the road was a game that stood out on BYU’s football schedule from the start.
BYU, coming off its 30-12 loss to Utah, faces a new challenge. Forget hanging with an SEC legend, can the Cougars merely do what Georgia State was paid $950,000 to do, which is beat the Volunteers at home?
Georgia State stunned the Vols with a 38-30 upset on Saturday, shocking a team that had expectations of being a team on the rise under second-year coach Jeremy Pruitt.
Now, when the Cougars face Tennessee on Saturday, the Vols will have the intent of trying to salvage bits of their dignity after what some are calling the program’s worst loss in history.
