7. Tennessee fans deserve better than this: Set aside the way the game ended, with Florida’s miraculous 63-yard touchdown as time expired giving the Gators a 26-20 victory. Up until that point, the Vols were the better team except for on the sidelines, where Butch Jones and his staff botched the thing from top to bottom. The Vols should have taken control in the third quarter and were on the doorstep of the end zone several times. But the red zone playcalling was just atrocious, over and over again, including one third-quarter sequence when they ran four plays without giving the ball to running back John Kelly, who finished with 141 yards on 19 carries. That drive ended with an interception. And, of course, Florida’s winning touchdown was not defensive coordinator Bob Shoop’s finest work, either. This game, though, was merely a continuation of what we’ve seen from Jones his entire tenure. He’s a good enough coach to keep you from being bad, but he’s never going to make you great.
