Tillman injured his leg against Akron, landing awkwardly on a Zips defender after making a catch near the out of bounds line. He would be a huge loss for Tennessee against a team of Alabama’s prowess.
But, the Vols have done fine in his absence. Bru McCoy, Jalin Hyatt and Ramel Keyton have more than filled in for the star receiver in his wake.
Still, you want to have all your weapons loaded when coming for a giant. Time will tell if this will spell trouble on the Vols’ perfect season.
