Fans are calling for Tennessee to bench QB Jarrett Guarantano after brutal start vs. Florida
It hasn’t been a great year for Tennessee QB Jarrett Guarantano, and his struggles have continued at Florida on Saturday afternoon.
The starting quarterback is off to a rough start, with 2 interceptions already and a 10-0 deficit in the first half.
Due to his struggles, Tennessee fans are wanting a change. Fans are taking to Twitter to demand that JG be sent to the bench.
Below, you can see some of the reactions from Vol Nation:
Yep and now the game blows open. Thanks to our marvelous QB. BENCH JG. Vols can do better.

Here is an idea BENCH JG or fire PRUITT NOW so the next guy can BENCH JG.

The defense as a whole has showed up today! Sad to see a crappy QB throw the game away. #BenchJG #vols

JG is the worst Qb I've ever seen in a Tennessee Uniform. JG would be sitting the bench in div 2

Three passes behind the line of scrimmage.
Chaney doesn’t trust JG, bench his ass

Pruitt needs to stop yelling at JG and just bench him.

Things aren’t going well on Rocky Top these days, and JG’s struggles are a big part of that. Will he turn things around in the second half or will the struggles continue?
Let’s hear more about his qb rating stats and how it’s Chaney and co who’s consistently throwing behind receivers. Oh, don’t forget to mention this situation is all on the fans. Did I miss any media talking points?
Sad
G struggling again. D line getting little pressure except when trask holds it for 5 minutes. Secondary giving up huge wide open plays. The Florida D would probably eat up the backups but G is just clearly not able so what do you have to lose at this point.
Ive been a Guarantano supporter this season. But, under the pressure of a strong Gator D front, his decision making and execution broke down in a meaningful way last night. Its frustrating. I still believe he has the athletic talent to be top tier, but maybe its time for Pruitt to give plan B QB some game time.
Been saying this for weeks and catching crap for it. JG is an FCS QB at best. 2-10 as an SEC starter. Only UT would allow this. I would rather lose every game with Maurer than a 4th year QB who STILL can’t read defenses.
