https://www.seccountry.com/tennessee/389451
Things are going from bad to worse in Knoxville as the Tennessee Volunteers seem to be holding onto the edge of a cliff, trying not to completely fall off.
The latest example comes from practice on Thursday, when a fight broke out between offensive lineman Trey Smith and defensive end Darrell Taylor. While rumors of the fight were floating around, it wasn’t until Friday that the fight was confirmed.
