In their first major test of the season, the Tigers fell flat on Saturday. They fell behind early against the No. 8 Tennessee Volunteers and never got back in it, losing 40-13 to drop their second game of the season and first in SEC play.

The Tigers entered the year as a top-10 team, and even with two losses, they didn’t fall far from that range after Saturday’s game.
