KNOXVILLE – After Tennessee’s 24-7 win over Kentucky last week, quarterback Jarrett Guarantano was asked about his streak that broke a school record set by Casey Clausen 15 years prior.
“What streak was that?” Guarantano asked the reporter.
When told he has 146 consecutive passes without an interception, he said, “That’s pretty good, huh? I’ve been doing all right.”
The confident sophomore has been a big part of the team’s improvement this season, and it could almost be said that as the 6-foot-4, 209-pound redshirt sophomore goes, so go the Volunteers.
He’s a far better version this season than he was a year ago, evidenced by better statistics. But it’s been more about his presence in the huddle and by how he’s played.
