Tech’s Tough Loss to Tennessee | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Georgia Tech took another brutal loss, falling to No. 18 Tennessee 45-24 and dropping to 0-2 on the season. Tennessee dominated on the ground with nearly 300 rushing yards, though they wasted opportunities due to 14 costly penalties. Tech briefly led after a blocked punt touchdown but quickly crumbled, surrendering 24 unanswered points by the third quarter. QB Alberto Mendoza struggled, throwing two interceptions — one returned for a TD. Still, there were glimmers: Justice Haynes broke through with his first TD of the year, rushing for 81 yards and adding receptions, while the Jackets drew their fourth straight sellout crowd since 1999. Tennessee’s freshman QB Faizon Brandon shined with two TD passes, and DeSean Bishop added two scores. The game was sealed early, with garbage-time scoring later. Next up: Mercer — and likely no fifth straight sellout as Tech seeks answers to turn their season around. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
