Tennessee Had THREE TDs Erased in BRUTAL Collapse vs South Carolina

Tennessee football had THREE potential touchdown passes wiped away by penalties in a devastating 27-24 loss to South Carolina, leaving Vols fans wondering how Josh Heupel's team managed to throw away a game it appeared ready to win. After an emotional victory over Alabama, Tennessee entered Columbia with an opportunity to strengthen its College Football Playoff position. Instead, the Vols committed 11 penalties, failed to execute in critical moments, and watched South Carolina steal the game on a last-second field goal. On the A to Z Sports Big Orange Podcast, Charlie Burris and former Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton break down the mistakes that cost the Vols their victory. Crompton explains why the penalties were particularly devastating, how Tennessee's offensive execution failed at the worst possible moments, and why blaming the officials misses the bigger problem. The conversation also turns to Tennessee's College Football Playoff chances. Can the Vols recover from this defeat, or did the South Carolina loss turn the remainder of their season into a must-win situation? *In this Tennessee football breakdown:* Three George MacIntyre touchdown passes erased by penalties Tennessee's 11-penalty performance The critical mistakes that allowed South Carolina to escape Why Tennessee's execution matters more than the officiating The difference between playing better football and actually winning How the loss impacts Tennessee's College Football Playoff hopes Why South Carolina continues to give the Vols trouble in Columbia Did Tennessee lose this game because of poor coaching, bad discipline, or simply failing to finish?
