• Nolan Analytics projects Tennessee to beat UAB, 47-16, in its Week 4 score predictions.
• Tennessee ranks sixth nationally in total offense (568.7 yards per game) but is vulnerable on defense, while UAB brings a top-25 passing attack (303.0 ypg) and one of the nation’s most porous defenses (472.7 yards allowed, including 218.7 rushing).
• Former UAB coach Watson Brown praised Neyland’s atmosphere and said Josh Heupel’s tighter splits and heavier personnel have strengthened Tennessee’s play-action and protection.
