Brandon Shines as Vols Crush Furman | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Freshman QB Faizon Brandon shredded Furman for five touchdowns—three passing, two rushing—tying a program record and leading Tennessee to a 56-9 rout in front of a roaring crowd. He was lights out, completing 13-of-17 passes for 226 yards and adding 68 yards on the ground. Mike Matthews hauled in four catches for 132 yards and two TDs. The defense didn’t back down either, with Xavier Campbell dominating with six tackles, five for loss, and three sacks—the first Volunteer to do that since 2018. Tennessee amassed 638 total yards, continuing Josh Heupel’s high-octane offense. Next up: a showdown with Georgia Tech in Atlanta next Saturday at 7 PM on ESPN.
