Tennessee wrapped up its SEC schedule winless Saturday for the first time in program history, getting whacked at home 42-24 to Vanderbilt to, mercifully, end the season.
The Volunteers ended the campaign losing seven of their final eight games, and got all four of their victories in 2017 against non-conference opponents.
| Opponent | Score |
|---|---|
| Florida | 26-20 |
| Georgia | 41-0 |
| South Carolina | 15-9 |
| Alabama | 45-7 |
| Kentucky | 29-26 |
| Missouri | 50-17 |
| LSU | 30-10 |
| Vanderbilt | 42-24 |
With a 4-8 record overall, Tennessee won't be eligible for a bowl game, and will instead turn its attention toward finding a new head coach. The Vols fired Butch Jones midseason, and finished out the year with Brady Hoke serving as the interim head coach.
Tennessee had never lost eight games in a single season until this year.
