Vanderbilt recorded an upset over instate rival Tennessee on Saturday and it left one former member of the Volunteers football program searching for answers.
Tennessee came into Saturday’s game ranked No. 17 in the College Football Playoff Rankings. However, as is often the case in rivalry games, the records and rankings can the thrown out the window. The Commodores trailed 34-24 in the third quarter, but scored the final 21 points of the game to come away with a 45-34 victory.
The loss dropped the Volunteers to 8-4 on the season, which is certainly not bad. However, it still prompted Albert Haynesworth to send this tweet to Donald Trump, asking for a little help.
@realDonaldTrump Can you make Tennessee football great again???

Prior to being selected No. 15 overall in the 2002 NFL Draft and going on to make two Pro Bowl teams, Haynesworth spent three years at Tennessee and was a member of the 2001 team that finished the season 11-2 and ranked No. 4. That was the last Volunteers team to win more than 10 games in a season.
Trump may not be able to get Tennessee football back to consistently winning double-digit games, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right?
