Jaylen Wright rushed for 136 yards for the Volunteers . The victory was sealed when Gabe Jeudy-Lalley picked off a pass and returned it to the A&M 6 to set up a field goal. Max Johnson threw two interceptions for Texas A&M . The Aggies were 5 of 15 on third-down conversions. Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III was 11 of 22 for 100 yards and touchdown — a 7-yarder to Jacob Warren to tie it in the first quarter.The only chance Tennessee had at being effective on offense against Texas A&M was to be productive in the run game.
