Tennessee Volunteers

There have been many rumors in the past surrounding the Tennessee Volunteers program, including one that dates back to the infamous loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks, which crushed the Vols' hopes of going to the four-team college football playoffs.

The rumor was that sign-stealing Conor Stalions with the Michigan Wolverines delivered the Vols' signals to the South Carolina Gamecocks. He recently commented on this subject in a podcast episode with Bunch Formation. Take a look below at what he had to say.

Did Connor Stalions Steal Tennessee's Signals?

"Oh my gosh. One of the dozens of conspiracies that are out there," Stalions said. "I have never had a discussion with SEC teams... I've had one discussion in my life with an SEC team regarding signals, and that was back in I believe 2019, when we played Alabama in the Citrus Bowl. I've never met anyone at South Carolina. I'd ask Joe Milton and Hendon Hooker; they know the truth. I'm tight with both of them. There was no trying to screw over Tennessee. I will also say this: if I had everything on a team, why would I not want to play them in the playoffs? If I had everything on Tennessee, which I never watched Tennessee film to decide their signals, I do know they are up-tempo, I'm not going to speculate whether they steal signals or not (becasue) I don't know. I don't know much about Tennessee other than the fact that they are a very wide split, up-tempo team, snapping the ball within 8 seconds of the previous play. "
