No. 16 Tennessee (7-2, 3-2 SEC) defeated UConn (1-8), 59-3, Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Week 10.
Saturday’s contest was Tennessee’s homecoming. Tennessee also wore Summitt Blue accessories, honoring former Lady Vols’ head coach Pat Summitt.
The Vols totaled 650 yards (375 passing, 275 rushing) against the Huskies.
Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III completed 11-of-14 passing attempts for 254 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. He also rushed for seven yards and scored one touchdown.
