Furman Faces Tennessee's Fire | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee rolls into their season opener against Furman with a stacked roster and high expectations, but the Paladins bring fire of their own—led by preseason All-American defensive end Joshua Stoneking and dynamic transfer QB Jake Garcia. With key players like Raleigh Herbert and returning tight end Jackson Pryor poised to make waves, Furman’s defense is already buzzing—and Eli Lipscomb’s pressure game is forcing defenses to double-team. But the real test? Staying healthy, matching Tennessee’s firepower, and protecting Garcia without letting the big-name matchup distract them. History favors Vols 2-0, but Furman’s got grit, a win under their belt, and a chance to prove they’re more than just a stepping stone. Can they flip the script—or will tradition hold firm?
