This week in Tennessee talk

The shows spent the week on Tennessee's dominant 45-24 win over Georgia Tech, with the running game and Faizon Brandon's road debut as the main talking points. DeSean Bishop had a huge performance on the ground while Brandon showed composure in his first start away from home, though some hosts questioned whether the offense would hold up against better competition. There's been debate about whether Tennessee's success is real or if fans should stay skeptical heading into the Texas matchup.
