Tennessee will ride the momentum of a convincing week 1 performance into a ranked primetime bout with NC State in Charlotte on Saturday night.
The No. 15 Vols (1-0) rolled last week in Nico Iamaleava's debut as their full-time starting quarterback, headlining an offense that posted more than 700 yards, but are facing their first test in the No. 24 Wolfpack (1-0) in the Duke's Mayo Classic.
