Description
Looking for an honest discussion on the impact of Tennessee’s disappointing loss at South Carolina, and where the Vols go from here? There's a GoVols247 Podcast for that. GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Patrick Brown and Ryan Callahan went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down Tennessee's tough, 27-24 loss to the Gamecocks last weekend at Williams-Brice Stadium, and the impact that loss could have on the Vols’ chances to secure bowl-eligibility under first-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt — something few outside this state expected in Pruitt’s first season, but something that felt very possible after the team’s upset win at then-21st-ranked Auburn. Tennessee took an early lead at South Carolina, scoring its first first-quarter offensive touchdown of the season in the process, and the Vols extended that lead to 21-9 in the third quarter before the Gamecocks reeled them in, overtook them and held them off in a game that came down to the final minutes — as practically every Vols-Gamecocks game seems to do. How will the Vols rebound in this week’s homecoming game against Charlotte? Who actually knows anything about Charlotte? When did Charlotte football become a thing? Why are some Tennessee fans so seemingly convinced that Jarrett Guarantano needs to be replaced in favor of senior backup Keller Chryst? Why do some consider every backup a potential savior when any starter at any position is struggling? What does this Tennessee team need to fix in order to become bowl-eligible, and how many of those things are reasonable to expect? Now that Tennessee has just four games left in the regular season, should we expect to see any young players join the rotation while preserving their redshirt eligibility, thanks to the NCAA’s new rule? Those and many other questions are discussed in this episode.
