It wasn’t easy, but Tennessee picked up a win in their season opener Monday night against Georgia Tech at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Vols were sluggish on offense during the first half and struggled to stop the Yellow Jackets all game. Down 28-14 in the fourth quarter, Tennessee seemed all but dead in the water. But a Vols offensive surge along with a Georgia Tech turnover and two missed field goals allowed the Vols to force overtime where they eventually won the game 42-41. Here are some tweets from during the game when Tennessee was losing…
Jarrett Guarantano time?

How is Guarantano any worse than this? Alarming question if you're a Vols enthusiast.

Time for Jarrett Guarantano
He may not fix the problem, but this isn't the answer

Would rather watch GT flexbone than this Dormady kid throw 40 passes to the sideline out of this spread. 21-14 GT w/ :42 left in 3rd.
