Tennessee football: Simulating 2018 Vols season on old NCAA game

No surprise here as Tennessee football goes to 3-0 to start the season. They are undefeated going into the Florida game. Neyland Stadium will be rocking for the rivalry game against the Gators.

Not much to talk about during this game other than the Miners had four turnovers. The defense is playing some of the best defense in the country. They forced three more interceptions.

Nigel Warrior had two interceptions for 70 return yards. This is the type of production that Pruitt and company think Warrior can give the Vols.

However, not everything is going great. Guarantano had a miserable game. He went 11-for-31 for 239 passing yards and three interceptions. Should we pull Guarantano? Next up is Florida and Chryst hasn’t played a snap all season. We are going to ride with Guarantano one more game and then make the substitution to Chryst if we have to.

Players of the Game

Offense – Running back, Ty Chandler

It was hard not to pick him, again. Chandler had his lowest amount of rushing yards all season, but he had three touchdowns. If Chandler keeps this up, he will be an All-SEC running back.

Defense – Linebacker, Darrell Taylor

Taylor had 12 tackles with five solos. He also added two tackles for loss with one sack. Taylor has been a staple on a defense that is the best in the SEC.
