No. 15 Tennessee Overwhelms UAB 56-24 as Aguilar Tosses 3 TDs

The performance reset momentum before a trip to Mississippi State next week.

Overview

  • Tennessee piled up 510 total yards, balanced 275 passing and 235 rushing, and built a 42-7 halftime cushion.
  • Joey Aguilar went 15-of-22 for 218 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, then played only one second-half series.
  • DeSean Bishop scored twice as the ground game produced four touchdowns, with Peyton Lewis and Star Thomas also reaching the end zone.
  • UAB safety Sirad Bryant drew an unsportsmanlike penalty for stomping kicker Max Gilbert’s foot, and coach Trent Dilfer said Bryant will be disciplined.
  • UAB’s Jalen Kitna threw for 364 yards and two scores, but Tennessee extended its on-field win streak over the Blazers to six and now visits Mississippi State.
