Not sure how Conor Stallions caused Tennessee to blow that 4th down opportunity and then give up the fumble forcing sack to Dylan Stewart, but I’m sure some Vol fans will figure it out.

Josh Pate on the Braves:
The key to the Braves winnig tonight will come down to runs. If they can limit the Dodgers from scoring, while scoring more than them, they'll win Game 4 and force a Game 5.

.@SamAaronSC, Research Director for the South Carolina Policy Council, said the race for governor will determine the state’s future direction. “It’s very important to vote,” Aaron said. “This is going to determine the direction of the state going forward, and I would encourage everybody to refresh up on the candidates and figure out who aligns with what they support.”
