Faizon Brandon Gets His First Real QB Grade and Tennessee Has a Bigger Problem

How should Faizon Brandon be graded after the most difficult start of his young Tennessee career? Jonathan Crompton gives the true freshman a C or C-minus following the Vols’ 20-17 loss to Texas. Brandon did not turn the football over and delivered a late touchdown pass to Mike Matthews, but he struggled to trust his arm and process opportunities against the fastest defense he has faced. BTA Sports, Better for Bettors: https://go.btasports.io/Tzu1/AtoZ Crompton explains why Brandon’s performance was different from the overall offensive failure—and why Tennessee’s inability to establish a running game may be the larger concern. The Vols rushed for only 70 yards, allowing Texas to attack the pocket without respecting a consistent ground threat. The discussion also includes a blunt assessment of DeSean Bishop and what Tennessee needs from its running backs and receivers to properly support its freshman quarterback. #TennesseeFootball #FaizonBrandon #Vols Make A to Z Sports your preferred source on Google: https://google.com/preferences/source?q=atozsports.com Play A to Z Sports Daily Games: https://atozsports.com/games For more VOLS coverage: https://atozsports.com/nashville/volunteers/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/volforlifetn Twitter: https://x.com/BigOrangePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atozsportsvols TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atozsportsvols #tennesseevols #tennesseevolunteers #secfootball
