Tennessee dominated New Mexico State 42-9 at Neyland Stadium, jumping to a 21-3 halftime lead behind Joey Aguilar's rushing and passing touchdowns. The Volunteers' ground attack was relentless with four different players finding the end zone, while William Wright's 35-yard pick-six in the third quarter highlighted a stifling defensive effort. The Aggies managed just a field goal until Isaiah Rudison's late touchdown run capped the scoring.
