2016 Tennessee Volunteers season

The Tennessee Volunteers had their fourth year in the 2016 CFBHC Season. This was LDYo's second and last season with the team. After a very successful 2015 Season, the Vols looked primed for a solid run, and possibly an SEC title. They returned senior quarterback Cleveland Jones, and Larry Holleyman returned from his season off to captain this talented squad. Defensively, it was a unit in transaction, as the Vols lost Trent Haynes and Darren Manning to the pros. 
The Vols started their schedule off very well, going 4-2 over the first half and 4-1 in their out of conference schedule. Unfortunately, the wheels came undone against Missouri in week 8. The Volunteers lost in double overtime, and it broke their spirit. Tennessee went on to lose the next 4 games. With a win against South Carolina in week 13, the Volunteers still had a shot at bowl eligibility.
In their final game of the season, a rivalry game against Vanderbilt, the Volunteers were beaten 28-14. The defeat ended Tennessee's chances at any postseason glory, and cut off Cleveland Jones's chance at leading Tennessee to its first bowl game victory. The end of the season came with other disorienting news. After Tennessee's disappointing season on the field and on the recruiting trail, LDYo decided to take a step back and just focus on owning the Arizona Cardinals, leaving Tennessee in limbo for the second time in its existence.
