Tennessee Tests Itself Against Georgia Tech | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s first win over Furman sets the stage for a major test against Georgia Tech this Saturday in Atlanta, as Coach Josh Heupel calls it a pivotal game to measure where his team truly stands before facing tougher opponents. He praised the defense’s strong debut, crediting offseason work under Coach Owings for improved physicality, while pinpointing minor issues on the edge and with tight ends—especially communication lapses—that need fixing on the road. Heupel expects a brutal, physical battle against Georgia Tech’s seasoned offensive line and deep backfield, highlighting QB Alberto Mendoza’s poise and athleticism. And he named Arion Carter the lone captain for the game, lauding his leadership and off-field impact, including donating to cancer research for every tackle made.
