Dee Williams returned a punt 39 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to put No. 19 Tennessee ahead for the first time and the Volunteers shut down Texas A&M the rest of the way in a 20-13 victory Saturday.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- — Dee Williams returned a punt 39 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to put No. 19 Tennessee ahead for the first time and the Volunteers shut down Texas A&M the rest of the way in a 20-13 victory Saturday.Vols punter Jackson Ross backed up the Aggies to the 1 — with Williams keeping the ball from going into the end zone. The Vols defense followed with a three-and-out setting up Williams for the pivotal return.
“Dee's punt return changed the game,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. “We had 10 guys competing their butts off to get him into the end zone. It was a huge turning point.” 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.
“It was a game of inches and we didn’t make them,” Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher said. “We had a couple critical penalties, a few critical plays, but the kids are playing their hearts out.” Max Johnson threw two fourth-quarter 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.“We had to settle down,” Vols defensive end Tyler Baron said. “Once the game slowed down for us, we played the way we were capable.
