Ramel Keyton led the team in receiving with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown, just ahead of Bru McCoy’s five catches for 51 yards. Tight end McCallan Castles caught a 43-yard touchdown on his only catch of the game.
“We were a little bit off in particular early in the football game,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said Saturday night during his postgame press conference. “There’s some things, situationally, where we were off. Joe, wide receiver, combination of both things where we’re just not in sync in some critical situations.
“Third down, we gotta be better than we were tonight. We gotta be able to sustain drives and go score points in the red zone. Turnovers, not getting a fourth down, there’s a lot of things. The penalties there that took us out of those field zones. So there’s a lot of things that we can control and do at our level.”
