Tennessee had a nice, stress-free afternoon in Neyland Stadium today. The Volunteers beat up on Chattanooga, building a 45-0 lead before pulling all of the starters out. Here’s what we learned and what stood out.
After giving up the long play that set up BYU with a chance to tie the game late last week, sophomore cornerback Alontae Taylor was benched against Chattanooga. Warren Burrell and Kenneth George got the starts at the outside cornerback spot. Bryce Thompson did not play.
Would this happen if Chattanooga wasn’t the opponent today? Probably not, but that’s just a guess.
