Tennessee Dominates Oklahoma in Top 15 Showdown
September 22, 2024
The Tennessee defense held Oklahoma out of the endzone until the fourth quarter and allowed only 222 yards of total offense allowing the Volunteers to win their top 15 showdown, 25-15. The win moved Tennessee up one to No. 6 in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll, while Oklahoma dropped to No. 18.
The top five remain the same with Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Alabama and Ole Miss. That will change next week as No. 1 Georgia travels to No. 4 Alabama in a big primetime showdown next Saturday.
