This was a fall-asleep-at-the-wheel game for Tennessee. The Vols handled their business, put it on cruise control, and lost the plot completely. The lead was 31-7 with 24 minutes left and 31-24 with two minutes left and USA driving. Tennessee's last six drives: 23 plays, 68 yards, one turnover, one missed field goal, zero points.
A lot of what the Vols are doing kind of follows the general "young and dumb" narrative. There's athleticism here, and you see a decent amount of successful aggression in the turnovers the defense is forcing. And the offensive line is solid. But it's going to be kind of a "two steps forward, 1.9 back" season, if that wasn't already obvious.
