The Vols brought home their first SEC win of the year in a hard-fought game against Oklahoma. Elijah Simmons set the tone on defense early with a tackle for loss on Oklahoma’s first offensive play of the game.

The Vols defeated No. 13 Oklahoma (3-1. 0-1 SEC), 25-15, on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll. Saturday’s contest marked the Southeastern Conference opener for both schools and Josh Heupel’s return to Norman.

The Tennessee Vols will have to find a way to knock off the Oklahoma Sooners without a key player being on the field. According to ESPN's senior college football writer Pete Thamel, left tackle Lance Heard will not be able to go on Saturday night.
