What happened

ESPN RECAP

Brandon throws for a TD, runs for another to lead No. 15 Tennessee over Kennesaw State 42-9

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- , Faizon Brandon threw for 178 yards and one touchdown and ran for another to lead No. 15 Tennessee to a 42-9 win over Kennesaw State on Saturday night. Daune Morris rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown for the Volunteers (3-0) on a night when DeSean Bishop was slowed with an injury in the second quarter and Javin Gordon and Justin Baker were unavailable with injuries. Morris had the game's most explosive play, a 42-yard touchdown run. “People get caught up with who the starter (Bishop) is,” said Tennessee coach Josh Heupel. “Daune ran well. We're fully confident in him. The guys trust him.” Morris saw room for improvement. “There's a lot I can get better at,” Morris said. “I've just got to focus on the details.” Rickie Collins threw for 189 yards for the Owls (1-2), who are coached by Jerry Mack, a former Tennessee assistant under Heupel.
