Ten penalties, 79 yards. 100 yards rushing on the nose.
Those were the key stats from Tennessee’s loss about a month ago to the Florida Gators. It was Tennessee’s only other road test, but it has Vols fans uneasy ahead of a trip down to Tuscaloosa. Multiple unforced errors doomed Tennessee’s efforts in The Swamp, allowing Florida to score 26 unanswered before halftime.
The result was Tennessee having to play from behind, which we quickly learned that they were not equipped to do. Joe Milton and the passing attack still aren’t clicking, and if the offense has to abandon the run, things can get ugly in a hurry.
