The Volunteers came up just short to rival Florida on the road, losing 26-20 on Saturday night.
The Vols had their chances but weren’t able to capitalize on numerous occasions. Most of the blame from fans is going to fall on the shoulders of Butch Jones.
According to the Tennessee head coach, they would be right.

Jones was not a fan of how Feleipe Franks was able to roll outside of the pocket and was able to bomb the long pass on the “Hail Mary” play.

For Jones, the season isn’t over yet, even if some fans might think so.
