Tennessee accomplished both the goals it set out for the Homecoming matchup with UT Martin: win, and end the game without any significant injuries.
SIGNIFICANT NOTE: The Vols wore light-blue accessories, honoring Tennessee LEGEND Pat Summitt, who was an All-American at UT Martin in her playing days.
UT won, handedly, but the defensive backfield that wasn’t good at full strength, nearly lost another piece when Brandon Turnage careened into the wall behind the endzone. The broadcast said later in the game that Turnage wouldn’t return to today’s game but should be good to go next week. I don’t know if I buy that diagnosis, given the way he looked shook when he got up after rolling into that wall.
