KNOXVILLE - Justin Worley threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores Saturday as Tennessee ended a three-game skid with a 45-10 victory over Football Championship Subdivision program Chattanooga.
Johnathon Johnson had the first two touchdown receptions of his career, a 21-yarder in the final minute of the second quarter and a 19-yarder in the opening minute of the third period. Worley also threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Marquez North. The senior quarterback went 19 of 24 for 198 yards passing.
Worley was the first Tennessee quarterback to rush for two touchdowns in a game since Casey Clausen in a 45-17 Florida Citrus Bowl triumph over Michigan on Jan. 1, 2002.
The victory gave the Volunteers (3-3) momentum before a demanding midseason stretch. Tennessee visits No. 3 Mississippi, hosts No. 7 Alabama and visits South Carolina over the next three weeks.
Chattanooga (3-3) had a three-game winning streak snapped.
