The Tennessee vs. Florida game was another heartbreaker for the Volunteers. Here is how each unit played in the 28-27 loss to the Gators.

This is one of the toughest pills for every Vols fan to swallow.

Losing to Florida last year hurt bad enough. Losing to them this year made it way more sickening because they had complete control of the game.

We have evaluated our blame pie for the loss, and we have talked about the things we learned about the Vols in this loss.

But we now have to look at the units that played well and the units that played poorly.

Everybody has to be evaluated with this loss, and everybody has to be held accountable. With these types of losses, there are specific groups that definitely held the Vols back.

And in this report card, it kept the team from reaching honor roll status.

Tennessee remains the only team to lose two games this year with a two-score fourth quarter lead, and they are two of the three losses on the season.

There are a few positions that definitely have to be called out for that, and it is hard at this point to say that the Vols played that well anymore through the first three and a half quarters.

The loss is that sickening for all of Vol Nation.

But there are groups that played well in this game on Saturday, and they do deserve recognition as well.

So as we re-evaluate another sickening loss, here is the report card for the Tennessee Vols following their heartbreaking loss to the Florida Gators.
