Tennessee is 2-0, fresh off of surviving a wild fourth quarter against Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon. It was a game filled with mistakes, but the Volunteers got just enough offensively while the defense absolutely took over the game in the second half.
Josh Heupel and his staff have plenty to clean up — special teams, ball security, inconsistent offense — and luckily for them they’ve got Akron coming to town on Saturday. It’s a chance to get some rhythm back and build some more chemistry before Florida next weekend.
Tennessee has already had one cupcake matchup this season, beating Ball State 59-10.
