Tennessee football: Ranking all 5 wins from the 2018 season
Thank goodness for the defense, or this could have ended up being a bad loss for Tennessee. In fact, it could up being one of the worst losses in history, almost like losing to Wyoming in Phillip Fulmer’s last season as head coach.

Tennessee played a great game defensively as the offense struggled, particularly the offensive line. Honestly, if it wasn’t for a Marque Callaway punt return, the Vols could have easily lost this game.
In the first quarter, Callaway took a punt 82 yards for the first score of the game, which ended up being the biggest play of the game.
It’s quite embarrassing that it took a punt return to beat a Charlotte team that had no business being in the game.
Later in the first quarter, Jarrett Guarantano drove Tennessee down the field in what appeared to be the start of a blowout. However, the Vols didn’t score again.
Think about Callaway not scoring that touchdown and the game 7-3 in the fourth quarter.
Charlotte certainly had their chances to get the win. It’s hard to count this as a good win, but it ranks third because it woke Tennessee up for the showdown with Kentucky the following week.
