SATURDAY’S STAR

Quarterback Drew Lock was dominant for the Tigers. He finished 21-for-30 with two touchdowns, and a few of the incomplete passes were drops by receivers. Questions about his quality as a player were answered against the Volunteers.

SATURDAY STAT

The Tigers had seven trips into the red zone Saturday. The Vols were able to stay in the game early, the defense forcing a pair of field goals, but once the field goals turned into touchdowns in the second quarter, the game started to get out of hand.
