Tennessee's 1913 team was the first team to do it, beating Carson-Newman, 58-0, Athens, 95-0 and Maryville College, 75-0 en route to a 4-4 record.

Against Kent State, Tennessee broke the program record for points in a quarter after scoring 37. The previous record was 35 points vs. Arkansas in 2000.

Nearing the end of the first half, the Vols have posted more than 400 yards of total offense. Sampson has accounted for 101 yards on 13 carries while quarterback Nico Iamaleava has 173 yards and one touchdown on 10-of-16 passing.
