Tennessee football: Vols’ mental toughness vs. Mississippi St. a culture change

This is the type of game Tennessee football traditionally loses. Whenever an opponent makes a quarterback switch at halftime, that quarterback always turns into a star. See Treon Harris replacing Jeff Driscol for the Florida Gators back in 2014. They are also always the type to blow a two-score second half lead. Just go back to the BYU Cougars game earlier this year.

Also, if they ever commit early turnovers, they are never the type of team to respond. And when their starting quarterback goes down, they never have their much-maligned backup who was benched earlier in the year make the key plays to win the game.
