Tennessee and Utah State opened their college football schedule tonight with a game against each other on a night that’s usually reserved for NFL games. The Tennessee Volunteers are looking to bounce back from a down season in which they had a 5-7 overall record and did poorly in their SEC conference east division. The Utah State Aggies don’t have the same national profile as the Vols, but they went 9-5 last season including 4-1 in their Mountain West division. In the end the final score was a lopsided one.
Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley had a career night in going 27 of 38 for 273 and three touchdown scores, as the Vols steadily built a lead throughout the first half, resulting in a score of 17-0 at halftime. Still, the game wasn’t out of each for Utah State. However, Aggies quarterback Chuckie Keeton threw two interceptions which hindered any chance of a comeback. By the time Utah State found its way onto the scoreboard with a Keeton touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, the game was already out of hand.
In the end Tennessee was the winner over Utah State by a final score of 38-7 in what may be a signal that the Vols are finally ready to turn their program around after a few seasons of turmoil. The next game on the Tennessee schedule is at home against Arkansas State on Saturday afternoon, September 6th, while the next game on the Utah State schedule is at home against Idaho state on Saturday night.
