Tennessee’s offense could not be more balanced.
With a third of their 12-game regular season still remaining, the No. 19 Volunteers have amassed 1,774 passing yards and 1,774 rushing yards. Tennessee’s aerial attack had a 25-yard advantage this time last week, but the Vols racked up 253 yards on the ground during Saturday night’s 33-27 win at Kentucky and 228 via the arm of Joe Milton III.
“The offense is the offense,” Milton said. “We’re going to spread the ball. We’re going to run the ball. We’re going to throw the ball. We’re going to throw screens — whatever it takes.
“Nothing changes from year to year except the people. It’s a different team, but there is nothing we have to do different.”
The Vols improved to 6-2 overall and to 3-2 in the Southeastern Conference following their win in Lexington and step out of league play this Saturday when they host Connecticut (noon on the SEC Network).
