Tennessee’s defensive front was able to pressure Gamecocks’ quarterback Collin Hill all game, sacking him four times. This is the first time Johnson has won SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week.
Tennessee will host Missouri in Week 2.
The Tigers visit Neyland Stadium after falling to Alabama at home, 38-19, in head coach Eliah Drinkwitz’s SEC debut. Drinkwitz’s offense was previewed on the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days” by his former wide receiver LaDarius Eckwood.
