The Volunteers scored touchdowns on their first four possessions to take a commanding 28-0 lead early in the 2nd quarter en route to a 35-7 halftime advantage. The Hawkeyes, alternating quarterbacks each of their first six possessions, struggled to find a rhythm on offense until late in the game. Tennessee now leads the series between the two teams, 2-1.
