The Tennessee Vols got back in the win column in emphatic fashion on Senior Day in Knoxville, thrashing the UTEP Miners 56-0 to improve to 9-2 on the season.
Nico Iamaleava finished 17/23 passing for 209 yards with 4 touchdowns. Dylan Sampson had 11 carries for 77 yards with a score. Bru McCoy led all pass catchers with 4 catches for 37 yards and 2 touchdowns.
It was a slow start for Tennessee, pretty much on both sides of the ball. Tennessee went 3 and out on 2 of their first three drives, while UTEP went on a 9-play drive that ultimately didn’t end with points.
