Rebounding from a hard-fought, single-possession battle against top-ranked Texas, No. 17 Tennessee returns to Neyland Stadium on Saturday, October 3 (3:30 PM ET, SEC Network), eager to vent its frustration on the visiting Auburn Tigers. Josh Heupel’s squad enters October with clear focal points for improvement, starting with pass protection for true freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon after the Longhorns brought him down 10 times in the backfield. Brandon faces another stern test against an Auburn pass rush anchored by standout defensive tackle Cody Sigler.
While Brandon works through his initial SEC starts, junior running back DeSean Bishop continues to carry the offensive load, averaging nearly six yards per carry with 320 rushing yards and four touchdowns. On defense, linebacker Arion Carter and Amare Campbell lead a physical front seven tasked with shutting down Auburn’s ground game.
