ESPN RECAPDeSean Bishop rushes for 2 TDs as No. 18 Tennessee handles Georgia Tech 45-24
ATLANTA -- , DeSean Bishop rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns and freshman Faizon Brandon threw for two scores, leading No. 18 Tennessee to a 45-24 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday night. Brandon went 10 of 21 for 148 yards, and his 20-yard TD pass to Braydon Staley gave Tennessee (2-0) a 24-10 lead late in the second quarter. “The stat sheet is not going to be elite. I actually really like the way he played the game,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said of his young quarterback. “He handled himself in situational football pretty well. First game on the road, 18 years old, handled himself well, took care of it, scrambled, made some plays.” The Volunteers took the lead for good earlier in the second quarter when Dejuan Lane picked off Alberto Mendoza and returned it 41 yards for a touchdown.
