The Tennessee Volunteers dropped their third loss in a row on Saturday, falling to the South Carolina Gamecocks, 24-21, on the road. After the game, Vols head coach Butch Jones seemed to shoulder some of the blame.
With a little riddle, Jones commented on the situation.
It wasn’t that his players weren’t ready to step onto the field, but a lack of preparation overall that led to the loss.
Butch: "We learned about the value of being ready vs. the value of being prepared."

Jones noted that the team looked strong throughout the week in practice, but they came out flat in Columbia.
Tennessee was a trendy preseason pick from a lot of media members in the SEC, but the Vols have never been able to live up to those high expectations. Now, they’ll look to re-find their footing next weekend with what should be a lay-up game against Tennessee Tech.
