KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee football team has endured enough losses the past few seasons, some on the very last play of the game, to appreciate every win.
UT’s 24-10 win Saturday night at Vanderbilt was only memorable for one reason: It was a win.
“This game, [head coach Derek] Dooley isn’t going to be happy about it at all,” junior defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. “He’s going to be very upset with us, and that’s fine. We deserve it.
“But we won, and we’re happy to move on with a win.”
Senior defensive end Gerald Williams, whose career-best game helped hold back the Commodores, was all smiles.
