Matchup analysis
Texas limited UTSA’s movement, but the passing offense was not as convincing as the winning margin. Tennessee’s ground production offers a different stress test from UTSA, and the Vols now face a much stronger opponent than Kennesaw State. Sustaining drives without relying on explosive runs is central to the home underdog’s case.
