Joe Milton has hand in 3 first-half touchdowns, No. 19 Vols' defense scores 3 times in rout of UConn

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Joe Milton, Jr. passed for 254 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score, all in the first half, and No. 19 Tennessee had three defensive TDs for the first time in program history in a 59-3 victory over UConn on Saturday.

The Volunteers (7-2, No. 17 CFP) had three scoring plays of at least 60 yards as they built a 35-3 halftime lead. Milton's TD passes were 60 yards to Ramel Keyton and 83 yards to Squirrel White. Jaylen Wright broke an 82-yard run on the second play from scrimmage and finished with 113 yards rushing.

“I wouldn't say it was the best performance we're capable of,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. “Our best is still out there.”
