Tennessee football with another win to advance to 4-0 and it wasn’t even close. If the Vols beat the Gators 31-10 in real life, Knoxville might burn to the ground. The last time Tennessee beat Flordia by more than 20 points was way back in 1990.

I know a win is a win, but Jarrett Guarantano played awful two games in a row. I don’t want to make a change because  I’m not Jeremy Pruitt. However, what happens in the stretch of Georgia, Auburn, and Alabama? Ty Chandler can’t do it all.

The most impressive thing about this simulation season is the defense is off the chains. They have only given up over ten points more than one time. Can it continue? We will see with Georgia coming up next on the schedule.

Players of the Game

Offense – Running back, Ty Chandler

I hate to keep giving the same player the award, but Ty Chandler deserves it. He had 27 attempts for 156 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

Defense – Defensive lineman, Jonathan Kongbo

Darrin Kirkland Jr. had another excellent game, but Kongbo is the player of the game. He recorded 12 tackles. Five were tackles for loss with two sacks.

Key games around the SEC

Auburn beat LSU 21-3.

Missouri beat Indiana 48-21 to advance to 3-0 on the season.

Georgia beat North Texas 37-9 to go to 3-0 on the season.
