Tennessee will say a win is a win, which is technically true. The SEC East favorites walked away from Week 1 with a 1-0 record, but the Vols were far from impressive at home in their 20-13 overtime win over Appalachian State on Thursday night.

Despite being a 21-point underdog at kickoff, Appalachian State probably won't be looking at Thursday night as a moral victory after letting a win slip through their grasp by way of kicking miscues, clock management issues and some fumble luck going the way of the Vols.
