App State (0-1) led for 40 minutes, never trailed in reglulation, and held Tennessee to 319 yards of offense, less than 300 in regulation. The Mountaineers outhit and outplayed Tennessee for the first three quarters, leading 13-3 at half and holding the Vols out of the end zone until 10:30 left in the game.
