The Panthers’ first unit had another solid outing in the Music City.
The Panthers’ first unit came out strong for the second week in a row as Cam Newton connected with Kelvin Benjamin for two first downs before finding Ted Ginn on a comeback route that turned into a 61-yard touchdown scamper for Ginn and a 7-0 Panthers lead.
The first team defense had a few ups and downs on Tennessee’s first drive until Bene Benwikere intercepted Marcus Mariota and gave the ball right back to Newton and company. The offense, however, squandered the opportunity and were forced to punt the ball back to Tennessee.
