Back in the 90s, when the Vols were dominant, lesser teams (UK, SCarolina, UGA) would play the Vols close but you knew those other teams would find a way to lose the game. UT has become that team.
None of these players know how to win. They will need a lucky break at the end of a big game to get the first one and then it will get turned around.
Better days are coming, it just ain't gonna be this year.
