Brandon Shines, But Vols Have Gaps | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Freshman QB Faizon Brandon dazzled with over 200 yards and five TDs, but his first half was painfully slow—only 13 passes, mostly short screens. Defense held Furman’s QB to just 43 yards and six sacks, though they gave up over 200 rushing yards. Tennessee lost the turnover battle (zero forced, two fumbles recovered) and racked up seven penalties for 60 yards—mistakes that could haunt them later. Running back Justin Baker shined with a big TD, but Javin Gordon may still be the better choice in short-yardage spots as Tennessee navigates a crowded backfield.
