KNOXVILLE – What a difference one week – and, more specifically, one win – can make.
Tennessee’s Volunteers are enjoying their game-free Saturday today much more than they would be had they not turned a 21-point deficit into a 38-31 win against Georgia.
The victory stemmed the negativity and frustration that had increased both inside and outside the program after Tennessee coughed up double-digit leads in losses to Oklahoma, Florida and Arkansas that were marred by missed opportunities and questionable coaching decisions.
The Vols went into its midseason open date with some positive momentum and can carry some confidence from beating the Bulldogs into the second half of the season.
“It was a big win at home and the fashion we did it in was huge,” quarterback Josh Dobbs said this week. “It was a great momentum win. All wins are big wins, really. We talk about that every week, that every week is a season on its own and we have to attack each week like that.”
