We didn’t know what to think going in, but it was the worst case scenario for Tennessee football as they opened the season up against the Georgia State Panthers. The root cause of the Vols’ loss goes right to the heart of any team: the line of scrimmage.
Jarrett Guarantano was sacked four times, one time resulting in a fumble, and the Vols failed to convert a 3rd and 1 up 14-7 with a chance to put a nail in Georgia State’s coffin in the first half. That’s all you need to know how bad the offensive line was.
