A quick look at how Tennessee's remaining opponents performed this past weekend.
Cincinnati Bearcats
- Beat the Austin Peay Governors 72-10. Um, pretty fortunate field position there, fellas. That has to be some sort of record:

- Much of the field position advantage was a result of turnovers, so make of it what you will. I mean, it's not like Tennessee had any ball control issues in its first game and should have to worry about a team that was +5 in turnovers last week. Gulp.
- According to Down the Drive, the game featured the highest run/pass ratio since the Mark Dantonio era, consisting 49 rushes and 22 passes. Big East Coast Bias says that 12 different guys carried the ball for the the Bearcats. They averaged just under eight yards per carry. Yes, it was Austin-Peay, but it was also Montana. As Will kept saying on the podcast Sunday night, we've gone from this being one of those six mostly-certain wins on the schedule to being an uh-oh game.
