A few more white-knuckle moments wrapped Tua Tagovailoa's evening in Tennessee.

First, he scrambled for a first down with the already-sprained knee he reaggravated last Saturday. Then, he was slow to get up after chucking a 41-yard touchdown pass to Henry Ruggs III.

It was his last throw of a four-touchdown, 306-yard game in which he completed 19 of 29 passes. So, how's the knee?

It's better, Tagovailoa said, than last week when he completed 54.5 percent of his throws against Missouri.

The quarterback was nonchalant explaining what happened when he stayed down a moment after his final throw.
