Tennessee did not give Oklahoma a warm welcome to the SEC.

A strong defensive performance helped lead the Volunteers to a 25-9 victory over the Sooners and helped the team move to 4-0 on the season.

The Volunteers defense unfortunately lost it's streak of not allowing an offensive touchdown during the final quarter, but it was still an excellent performance from the unit. The Sooners managed just 122 yards of total offense and the Volunteers also forced three turnovers.

Dylan Sampson led the rushing attack with 21 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown.
