Recap: Tennessee football dominant at LSU ahead of Alabama showdown

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana −Tennessee football takes an unbeaten record and top-10 ranking into its first SEC road games against LSU.

The Vols should be well rested after an off week. Led by quarterback Hendon Hooker, they tout the No. 1 offense in college football. But it must move the ball amid the noise of a sellout crowd to score a win at Tiger Stadium.

No. 8 Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) will play LSU (4-1, 2-0) at noon ET. It will be televised on ESPN, and the Vols are wearing alternate Smokey Grey uniforms.

The Vols have lost five straight to LSU in the series, including a 16-14 defeat in 2010 in their last trip to Tiger Stadium.

Why is Tennessee football wearing alternate Smokey Grey uniforms, instead of road jerseys?

Tennessee is wearing its alternate Smokey Grey home uniforms instead of its traditional white road uniforms because LSU opted to wear white jerseys for its home game.

It's the first time the Vols have donned the alternate look since 2017. Tennessee is 3-1 when wearing the uniforms, all at home.

Drive hampered by a Jerome Carvin holding penalty.

Chase McGrath lines up for a 51-yard field goal. LSU calls a second timeout after the third down play. Hmmm.

5:20 left: Hendon Hooker gets away from a possible sack, runs for a first down.

5:48 left: Kayshon Boutte is short on 4th down, though he tried to stretch the ball out. It looks close....

Tennessee gets the ball just past its own 10. Don't be surprised if it's reviewed, though.

It is reviewed, and the call stands.

Tennessee's defense is spying LSU QB Jayden Daniels on nearly every play.

8:01 left: Jayden Daniels scrambles inside the UT 35, and is facemasked pretty blatantly by Jeremy Banks.

LSU inside the UT 20.

Can't start much better than that on the road. Death Valley already silent.

14:22 left: Ramel Keyton with a first down catch. First and goal, Vols.

15:00 left: LSU wins the toss, will receive. It may be a late-morning start, but there are still a lot of people in Death Valley.

LSU's Jack Bech muffs the kickoff, and the Vols recover at the LSU 27. Wow. You could tell Brian Kelly and LSU's coaching staff were uncomfortable with something on that kickoff because they were animated in trying to sort out the return formation.
