Tennessee Volunteers Crush UAB 56-24 Behind Joey Aguilar's Three Touchdowns

Tennessee's football team dominated UAB with a 56-24 victory, showcasing an explosive offensive performance led by senior quarterback Joey Aguilar. Aguilar threw three touchdown passes to different receivers, including a notable 39-yard touchdown to Mike Matthews, and completed 67% of his passes for 218 yards before being substituted early in the second half due to the game's lopsided score. The Volunteers aggressively scored on six of their first seven possessions, building a commanding 42-7 halftime lead, and have outscored opponents 83-7 in first quarters over the season. Tennessee's running backs also contributed four rushing touchdowns, highlighting a strong ground game that accounted for 235 yards. Despite UAB's quarterback Jalen Kitna throwing for 364 yards and two touchdowns, Tennessee's defense and balanced offense were decisive. Head coach Josh Heupel reached a milestone of 40 wins at Tennessee, solidifying his status as one of the program's most successful coaches.
