Tennessee Football Posts Record 72-17 Win Over ETSU

Tennessee football head coach Josh Heupel praised the team's record-breaking 72-17 victory over ETSU, marking the highest points ever scored by the program in a single game. Despite this dominant performance, Heupel emphasized that the Vols will need to show their best to stand a chance against a top-ranked Georgia team. Tennessee had previously defeated Syracuse, which itself required overtime to beat UConn, suggesting some ongoing questions about the Vols' consistency. The win served as a warm-up for the challenging matchup against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs. Heupel's reflections highlight both optimism for the team's capabilities and caution about the level of competition ahead. Overall, the performance has set an encouraging tone for Tennessee's season while underscoring the work still to be done.
