LOOK: Tennessee fans deserted Neyland Stadium in second half

Tennessee fans did not enjoy the performance Saturday at Neyland Stadium, and many didn’t stick around to see the ending of the game against UMass.

The lack of a crowd, which wasn’t full at the start of the game, is an ominous sign for coach Butch Jones, who suffered a last-second loss against Florida last week, and is widely considered among the SEC coaches most on a hot seat this season.

UMass entered the game a 28-point underdog. Tennessee faithful even booed the team after the Vols were stopped behind the line of scrimmage in their own territory with less than six minutes remaining.

I'd say Neyland Stadium is immersed in a cloud of anger and nerves, but the place isn't exactly close to full.
