KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee is averaging 46 points per game, but the Volunteers' offensive production is somewhat deceptive.

With 138 points, the Vols (2-1) have their highest total over their first three games since the 1914 team had 171 points. The numbers seems misleading since Tennessee's first two opponents were Bowling Green and Football Championship Subdivision program Western Carolina.

In their only meeting with a major-conference school, the Vols lost 31-24 to Oklahoma in overtime after getting shut out in the last 42 minutes of regulation time.
