Top Storyline: Is Justin Worley the Permanent Answer at Quarterback?

Justin Worley narrowly earned the starting quarterback spot for the Volunteers over Nathan Peterman, and both played in the opener.

Worley looked fantastic going 11-of-13 for 104 yards and throwing three touchdowns. Peterman was far less productive. He went 4-for-8 with 28 yards and no touchdowns. 

In that performance, Worley certainly proved that he belonged as the man under center. However, that could rapidly change as the competition increases. It will be important for Worley to cement his confidence with another strong performance. 

Prediction: Tennessee 47, Western Kentucky 27

Western Kentucky is going to find a way to put up points this year. However, stopping high-powered offenses will be another concern.

Worley will be itching to put up more points, and he and his offensive teammates will do just that.
