Challenges for Tennessee
The Vols can’t afford to be satisfied with their win over Bowling Green. Pitt will present a much larger challenge. Pitt is a team that likes to pass. Last weekend versus UMass quarterback Kenny Pickett connected on 27 of 37 attempts for 272 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Pickett, by the way, is a fifth-year senior that has played in 40 games averaging over 200 yards passing a game. Do the math and you’ll find that Pickett has over 8,000 career passing yards (and 41 TD passes). He also has over 600 yards rushing during his career.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET). You can watch this SEC football game on the ESPN Network.
