The Sept. 25 Texas-Tennessee preview lists Texas allowing 178.7 passing yards per game, with three interceptions and only one passing touchdown conceded through three 2026 games; UTSA managed 142 total yards the prior week. These are pre-Tennessee results, not evidence of how the matchup finished.

Texas allowed 109 rushing yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry through three 2026 games, according to the Sept. 25 Tennessee matchup preview. The writer considers the Vols' ground game a stronger test, but does not establish a Texas front change or a result against Tennessee.

Tennessee averaged 298.7 rushing yards and 6.7 yards per carry with 11 rushing touchdowns through its first three 2026 games, per the Sept. 25 Texas preview. DeSean Bishop had 286 yards and four TDs, while Daune Morris had 234 yards on 29 carries. These are early totals, not a projected Texas result.

The Sept. 25 preview says Tennessee used fewer wide splits and more condensed, pro-style passing concepts while still taking deep shots. Freshman QB Faizon Brandon was 41-of-64 for 552 yards and six TDs without an interception through three games; this does not announce a new Texas-specific package.
