Tennessee sinks to new low!
Tennessee couldn’t even beat heavy underdog Wyoming for outgoing coach Phillip Fulmer — on homecoming day no less.
In his first game since being forced to resign at the end of the season, Fulmer could only watch as Ward Dobbs returned an interception 24 yards to lead Wyoming to a 13-7 win over the Volunteers on Saturday.
Tennessee (3-7) came into the game favored by 26 1/2 points, but wound up with its seventh loss of the season and marking just the second time in Fulmer’s 17 years as coach that the Vols won’t play in a bowl game. It was the first time the Vols lost to a Mountain West opponent.
Wyoming (4-6) won its first road game of the season, and may want to play more often at Southeastern Conference schools. The last time the Cowboys went on the road to the SEC, they beat Mississippi in 2005.
