Tennessee’s Freshman QB Shines vs Georgia Tech | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s freshman QB Faizon Brandon dazzles in debut, torching Furman for 56-9 with 226 passing yards, 3 TDs, and 68 rushing yards, 2 more scores — the first SEC player since Cam Newton to hit that mark. Georgia Tech, meanwhile, limped past Colorado 14-13, struggling offensively with just 288 yards and no real scoring punch. But their defense showed grit, led by Kyle Efford’s 13 tackles. Tennessee’s offense also shined: Mike Matthews hauled in 4 catches for 132 yards and 2 TDs, while DeSean Bishop rushed for 97 yards. Defensively, transfer Xavier Gilliam made an instant impact with 6 tackles and 3 sacks, and Arion Carter returns after a suspension. This home-and-home showdown pits two Power 4 teams in a throwback-style matchup — expect orange waves in Atlanta as Tennessee heads west for its first road test. With Georgia Tech’s offense looking sluggish and Tennessee’s firepower on full display, the Vols are poised for a comfortable win, keeping momentum rolling into the season.
