Tennessee took plenty of momentum into the bye week after defeating Oklahoma in Josh Heupel’s return to Norman. It was the first big test for the Volunteers, who passed with flying colors as they headed into the idle week.
The hype continues to build around Iamaleava and Tennessee this year. In fact, FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt said the Vols are a “legitimate national title contender.”
“I’m pleasantly surprised with what’s going on with Tennessee,” Klatt said. “They have the number one scoring offense in the country. They’ve got the number two scoring defense in the country. They’re doing it on both sides of the ball. And candidly, I’m all in on Tennessee.”
