Tennessee football handled business on Saturday during the record-breaking 72-17 win over ETSU at Neyland Stadium for the home-opener.

During the win, Tennessee amassed a modern era program record for points (72) and first downs (41). The Volunteers are now 2-0 on the young season with Southeastern Conference play beginning next week with the Georgia Bulldogs.   

Brent Hubbs and Eric Cain are joined by the publisher of DawgsHQ, Rusty Mansell, to look ahead at the Vols and Bulldogs. The crew also revisits the Tennessee 2-0 start on the season and what it would take for the Vols to pull off the upset at home against Georgia.

The Rocky Top Rewind is presented by Spivey, King & Spivey, LLP every Sunday night on the Volquest YouTube channel.
