The Vols (2-1) fell 29-16 to the Gators at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville last week, after a mistake-riddled first half helped Florida to a 19-point lead at halftime. Tennessee started the season with a 49-13 win over Virginia at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on September 2 and beat Austin Peay 30-13 in the home opener at Neyland Stadium on September 9.

UTSA (1-2) is coming off a 37-29 loss to Army last Friday night. The Roadrunners started the season with a 17-14 loss at Houston and followed with a win over Texas State a week later.
Second Quarter
Tennessee 31, UTSA 0 (3:21, 2Q): Dylan Sampson ripped of a 44-yard run on the second play of the drive, but the Vols stalled at the UTSA 6 with a run for 0 yards and an incomplete pass from Joe Milton to Squirrel White in the end zone. Charles Campbell connected on a 29-yard field goal after missing a 52-yarder in the first quarter.
Tennessee 28, UTSA (11:10, 2Q): UTSA had 12 players on the field and it still didn’t matter. Joe Milton put a perfect deep ball into the end zone for Ramel Keyton, who hauled in the 48-yard touchdown for a 28-0 lead. The touchdown drive went 60 yards on four plays and included an 11-yard pass from Milton to Squirrel White to convert on third-and-9, one play before the long touchdown pass.
Tennessee 21, UTSA 0 (14:23, 2Q): The Vols were back in the end zone early in the second quarter after Milton found Kaleb Webb for an 18-yard touchdown pass. The two-play, 57 yard touchdown drive was fueled by a 40-yard run from Jabari Small on first down.
First Quarter
Tennessee 14, UTSA 0 (10:03, 1Q): Dylan Sampson is back in the running back rotation. His first touch on Saturday was a 6-yard touchdown run, his fifth trip to the end zone in a little more than two games this season. The sophomore came in from Jaylen Wright, after Wright’s helmet came off on the previous play. The touchdown drive went 62 yards in nine plays and took two minutes, 56 seconds. Tennessee’s defense forced a UTSA three-and-out set up the second touchdown drive.
Tennessee 7, UTSA 0 (14:40, 1Q): The Vols needed just one play to get to the end zone. Joe Milton III faked a handoff to Jaylen Wright and went around the left side for an 81-yard touchdown run. He got a block on the perimeter from Bru McCoy and outraced the Roadrunner defense to the end zone to get Tennessee on the board 20 seconds into the game.
