It isn’t often that hope dies in three stadiums on the same day, but it happened Saturday …



Of all the people on BYU’s roster to drag damn near an entire defense into the end zone and expose the true hopelessness of Tennessee’s situation, it had to be Ty’Son Williams. The one guy who was there for the beginning of this slide decided to go ahead and send the Volunteers hurtling into the abyss.



Williams didn’t always play for BYU. He started his career at North Carolina. After playing as a freshman in 2016, he transferred to South Carolina. He sat out the 2016 season per NCAA rules, so he spent a week in late October pretending to be Tennessee’s John Kelly. With Williams watching, the real Kelly averaged 6.7 yards a carry when the Vols showed up at Williams-Brice Stadium on Oct. 29, 2016, but Tennessee lost 24-21. Everyone in orange knows this game was the nudge off a ledge that turned out to be a cliff.



Sure,...
