It’s been tougher sledding than many in Knoxville, Tennessee expected vs. Austin Peay thus far.
Heading into halftime, the No. 9 Vols find themselves up just 13-6 on the 0-1 Governors for reasons fans can’t explain.
That didn’t stop them from making jokes about Rocky Top on social media though:

“So Tennessee’s ‘high powered offense’ scored 13 points and has a 7 point lead after the first half against *checks notes* Austin Peay. But hey, that Mike Bobo guy is a real issue,” a user said.

“The only three teams to hold Tennessee without a first quarter touchdown in the Heupel era: Florida, Georgia, and…….your Austin Peay Governors!”
