Brandon shines in debut as Tennessee routs Furman:
Freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon sparked the offense by accounting for five total touchdowns. Brandon is the first SEC player with 3 Pass TD & 2 Rush TD in his first start since Cam Newton. (SECN)
Wide receiver Mike Matthews delivered a standout receiving performance, setting a new career-high in reception yardage after catching touchdown passes of 55 and 57 yards on consecutive third-quarter drives.
Radarious Jackson provided crucial first-half pass-catching production, stringing together receptions of 7, 6, and 25 yards on a single second-quarter scoring drive.
Justin Baker generated the biggest big-play explosion of the afternoon on the ground, breaking free for a 73-yard touchdown sprint in the fourth quarter.
DeSean Bishop shouldered much of the early rushing load, consistently generating first downs with runs of 10, 12, 18, and 20 yards while punching in a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
Javin Gordon added strong efficiency to the backfield rotation, highlighted by dynamic middle gains of 24 and 10 yards.
Defensive lineman Xavier Gilliam terrorized the backfield throughout the day, recording three sacks for negative yardage and forcing a second-quarter fumble.
