The day begins with the marquee showdown between No. 1 Texas and No. 14 Tennessee in what is by far the biggest game of Vols QB Faizon Brandon’s young career. Brandon has yet to throw an interception and has nine total touchdowns; can he surpass Arch Manning and the Longhorns?

This will be enough for the first half. Both offenses slowed down a bit after a fast start to the game, but the Vols should feel good with the score at the break. They only have 3 points and 88 total yards; Texas has 7 penalties for 70 yards, but the Vols were unable to take advantage of them.
