Week 6 FanPulse: Confidence Rising With Quarterback Change?

Usually a blowout loss will cause your confidence in your team to drop, but that’s not the case in this week’s FanPulse survey.

The Vols (1-4) lost to the Georgia Bulldogs (5-0) by a score of 43-14 on Saturday, but it was Tennessee’s new starting quarterback, Brian Maurer, who had the Vols ahead 14-10 in the second quarter.

Obviously, Georgia pulled away and won the game in dominating fashion, however, Maurer showed some promise and is likely the main reason for the rise in confidence.
