Tennessee Form
Tennessee head to College Station having claimed their second top-10 scalp of the season to improve to 7-2.
The Volunteers opened with three non-conference wins, beating Furman 56-9, Georgia Tech 45-24 and Kennesaw State 42-9, but dropped their SEC opener to Texas, 20-17.
They rebounded at home, beating Auburn 24-14, and backed that up as they beat Arkansas 24-17, and stunned Alabama at home, 26-10.
Tennessee failed to make it four-in-a-row as they were beaten 27-24 in South Carolina, but their response was strong.
The Volunteers claimed their second top-10 win of the season last weekend, as they blew out Kentucky, 34-7.
Texas A&M Form
Texas A&M’s underwhelming season has continued with back-to-back losses, dropping them to 4-5.
The Aggies kicked off their campaign with a couple of comfortable non-conference wins, beating Missouri State 50-0 and Arizona State 48-20.
They failed to build on that when they started their ACC schedule though, as they were beaten 31-21 by Kentucky and 35-6 at LSU.
Texas A&M stopped the rot with a 34-7 victory over Arkansas, only to then lose 27-6 at Missouri a week later.
The Aggies bounced back with a 41-0 non-conference win over The Citadel, but since then they have lost SEC matchups against Alabama, 31-20, and South Carolina, 17-9.
Verdict
Tennessee did have that letdown against the Gamecocks, but this defense has been dominant pretty much all season long.
That spells trouble for the Aggies, who have big issues on offense and are battling just to get a Bowl Game invite this season.
