Tennessee football suffered a 45-38 overtime loss to Texas A&M, but plenty of players played their hearts out. These five Volunteers earned helmet stickers.

You’re just not going to win too many games when you turn the ball over six times. That was the case for Tennessee football on Saturday in their heartbreaking loss in College Station.

For Vols fans, the loss provided mixed emotions. Texas A&M was a loss everybody was willing to accept at the beginning of the year, but the way they lost made it hurt.

Still, there are plenty of Vols who deserve credit for how they played against the Aggies on Saturday. They put together a historic offensive performance and made enough big plays to win the game.

As a result, we have to recognize the players who deserve credit for their game. Ironically, it’s very hard to trim that number down to five players.

In the process of giving out our Smokey Points this week, we wanted to recognize about eight players, and that’s in a loss.

However, as always, we could only name five. And these guys definitely stood out for Tennessee football on Saturday.

So we have no reservations about naming them. Thanks to these guys, this loss was actually encouraging. It gives many fans in Vol Nation confidence as they get set to host the Alabama Crimson Tide.

That’s another good reason to name them.

Here are the helmet sticker for the Tennessee football players who earned Smokey Points in their loss to the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday.
