Winners and Losers from Week 4 of College Football | Bleacher Report
Winner: Tennessee
Randy Sartin-USA TODAY Sports
After one half, Tennessee looked lost.
The offense couldn't catch, the defense allowed big plays, the coaches had no answer. Thirty minutes from losing its 12th straight game to Florida, it ran into its locker room to the deafening sound of boos.
But from the moment the second half kicked, the game was different. The Vols turned a 21-3 deficit into a 38-21 lead and eventual 38-28 win, adjusting to what they saw and clicking in all three phases. At one point in the second half, they'd outgained the Gators 319 yards to 11.
Head coach Butch Jones and quarterback Joshua Dobbs did the most to improve their legacies, transforming from goats to heroes in front of our eyes. Jones proved he could make significant adjustments, while Dobbs overcame early drops to post career highs in passing yards (319) and passing touchdowns (four).
Between this and Florida and Georgia both losing (as we'll get to in a second), Tennessee now has a leg up in the SEC East.
Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee, who was high on the Vols all offseason, can enjoy a piping hot mug of frog tea.
