It was also the 1st game coached for the VOLS by Butch Jones.
Today's News-Sentinel characterizes it as a "WIN TO BUILD ON."
The opponent, Austin Peay, which was playing TENNESSEE for the 1st time in its 77 year history, was not expected to match up well with the VOLS.
Attendance was impressive: 97, 169.
Designated starting quarterback Justin Worley, who played only in the 1st half, engineered 6 touchdowns on 6 possessions.
He had 11 pass completions on 13 attempts for 104 yards and 3 TDs.

UT had 30 First Downs rushing & 19 passing. Total yards on offense 447 and 7 of 11 successful 3rd down conversions.
Back-up quarterback Nathan Peterman took over in the 2nd half.
The offense played well, but so did the defense with 0 points allowed. Also, there was not one single, solitary penalty committed by the BIG ORANGE.
After the game, Coach Jones said...
"We are going to get it right. It's going to take some work but this is a truly special place."
Coach Neyland would be proud, particularly of the big goose egg on the opponent's side of the scoreboard.
