Tennessee football is coming off a big win over Syracuse in Week 1. The Vols put the petal to the metal on offense, scoring 45 points and totaling 495 yards in Joey Aguilar's Big Orange debut.
A lot of talking heads and analysts doubted Tennessee's offense would be as good or better than last year with the loss of former quarterback Nico Iamaleava. After one week, it looks like Tennessee has already won the quarterback trade with UCLA.
The lower expectations landed Tennessee at No. 24 in the AP Poll heading into the first week of the season, but ESPN's Football Power Index had the Vols a little higher at No.
