It seemed like maybe a quick screen or a slant his way would have gone a long way for Milton’s rhythm. Honestly, Tennessee could have really used him too. However, that wasn’t the case in the opener. With Heupel coming to town, Tennessee was expected to lean on Jones as a veteran leader. The senior receiver came on at the end of 2020 and returned for his extra season, thanks to NCAA’s COVID rule. WR Velus Jones Jr.: Probably the most surprising stat of the night - Jones didn’t catch a single pass against Bowling Green. We’re certainly going to give him some time in the system to get more comfortable, but there’s a lot of work to be done here. His deep pass attempts seemed flat, and two would-be touchdowns sailed long. Bowling Green started dropping seven, even eight into coverage and Milton seemed to struggle if his first read was covered. But the reads have to speed up for Milton. 6-5, 244 pounds, cannon arm, mobility - got it. The Michigan transfer started 9-11 and led two immediate scoring drives, but finished the game going 2-12. Milton didn’t have a great night, despite scoring three times. QB Joe Milton: After a day to marinate and think on it, the feeling remains the same. We’ll know a lot more about this particular unit next week against Pitt. Tyler Baron had some good moments as a pass rusher, and this group will get a boost when Byron Young returns. This unit was wrecking run plays all night long, as the Falcons struggled to even get the ball handed off at times. It’s Bowling Green, I get it, but it was a dominating performance. There were some shaky moments in the second quarter for the secondary, but Jackson was a clear bright spot.ĭefensive Line: It’s really tough to separate what was good against what was simply just a matter of talent discrepancy, but it’s tough not to praise what we saw out of the defensive line. Tennessee’s STAR defensive back was credited with 11 tackles and three passes defensed - the latter of which is already a career season high. The guy was everywhere, frankly, battling down passes and making tackles behind the line of scrimmage. The 6-3, 215 pounder has an ideal frame to be a difference maker on the perimeter, and it’s clear that this staff has big plans for him.ĭB Theo Jackson: What a night it was for Theo Jackson. It could have very easily been a multi-score night for Tillman, who is looking to become the next receiver in line following Jauan Jennings, Marquez Callaway and Josh Palmer.

Tillman came free deep a couple of times and Joe Milton missed him by just a couple of yards. WR Cedric Tillman: Statistically speaking, it wasn’t a big night for Tillman, but the opportunities were there.

He was explosive, he showed some wiggle and he proved just how big of a factor he’s going to be in this offense. RB Tiyon Evans: The JUCO product absolutely showed out during his Tennessee debut, averaging north of seven yards per carry as the Volunteers dominated up front. It’s far too early to make final judgements, but here’s a current stock report coming out of the opener.

There were some good moments - along with plenty of concerning moments.

Tennessee got the Josh Heupel era off and running with a 38-6 victory over the Bowling Green Falcons on Thursday night at Neyland Stadium.
