Tennessee football's Josh Heupel blames everyone for offensive vs. Texas, and Faizon Brandon isn't excused

Following a narrow defeat to the Texas Longhorns by a score of 20 to 17, Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel pointed the finger at the entire offense for the team's first loss of the season in their conference opener. Despite a late rally featuring a successful onside kick recovery, the Volunteers fell short, and Heupel specifically cited freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon and the offensive line for failing to meet expectations.

Brandon struggled through the contest against Texas, accumulating 145 passing yards alongside a touchdown while briefly exiting due to a shoulder injury before returning. Although Heupel praised the squad's overall fighting spirit and defensive effort right until the final whistle, he emphasized that the offensive execution was far below the standard required for such matchups as the team prepares to face Auburn next Saturday.
