Yellow Jackets Struggle, Hope Remains | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Georgia Tech’s shaky start continues as they fell to Tennessee, with QB Alberto Mendoza struggling through two interceptions — one returned for a TD — and an offense that couldn’t sustain drives. Cornerback Jaylen Mbakwe was carted off in scary fashion but is reportedly talking, offering hope for a full recovery. Coach Brent Key defended his team’s effort, praising their progress and style despite the loss. Running back Justice Haynes shined with 81 rushing yards and two scores, becoming the offense’s engine — but the line must protect Mendoza and open lanes. With zero wins and two losses, the Jackets face Mercer next — and need to cut turnovers and boost the run game to turn things around.
