A win is a win, right? Meh. I guess. I’ll be honest, I hated just about everything from Tennessee’s win today aside from the consistent pass rush from the defensive line. The first half was bad, the second half wasn’t much better. One could argue this was the worst game they’ve played offensively under Josh Heupel. In a game that saw the Vols favored by 48.5 points, Tennessee failed to score four touchdowns and ended up beating the Governors 30-13, but the game felt much, much closer than that throughout.
