College Football Week 6 Power Rankings

The Tennessee Volunteers are coming off a heart-breaking 45-38 loss in double overtime in College Station. You can say whatever you want about this Tennessee team, but they are never out of games. Somehow, they always find a way to make it interesting.

Tennessee had come back from double-digit deficits to win four of their last five games, and nearly had another double-digit comeback against the Volunteers on Saturday.

They saw themselves trailing 28-14 heading into the fourth quarter against A&M, before outscoring the Aggies 21-7 in the fourth quarter to force overtime. I know they ended up taking their first loss of the season, but Tennessee’s head coach Butch Jones has to be pleased with the way his team continues to battle.

Especially with their starting running back Jalen Hurd, and many key defensive players being sidelined due to injuries. His backup, Alvin Kamara made all of his opportunity, rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs was also productive, throwing for 398 yards and a touchdown, however his two interceptions are worrisome.

They have a chance to redeem themselves this weekend as Alabama comes to town. Tennessee has now put themselves in a must-win situation with the loss to Texas A&M. It won’t be easy, but the Volunteers are hoping to get healthy before the number one team in the nation makes their appearance in Knoxville.
