KNOXVILLE – Brian Randolph perhaps best summed up his Tennessee football career early Monday afternoon without even knowing it.
“I don’t think I ever had a four-game win streak here,” the senior safety said.
Early in the careers of Randolph and six other fifth-year players, winning four games in an entire season was a struggle for the Volunteers.
That group, which came to Tennessee to play for coach Derek Dooley and will leave under Butch Jones, closes their careers with a chance at a nine-win season if the Vols beat Vanderbilt at home in Saturday’s regular-season finale and wins a second consecutive bowl game.
Tennessee’s Brian Randolph (37) gestures to the crowd after he was ejected from the game for targeting. The South Carolina Gamecocks visited the Tennessee Volunteers in SEC football action November 7, 2015.“We’re leaving Tennessee in a better place,” Randolph said.
