SEC Review Week 2
September 12, 2026
Texas shook the top of the polls, the SEC traveled well, and Tennessee kept moving forward on the ground.
The loudest SEC result came from Austin, where Texas erased a 20-point third-quarter deficit and stunned No. 1 Ohio State 24-23. Arch Manning and the Longhorns did not just win a heavyweight game; they took the No. 1 ranking with them.
Tennessee supplied its own Power Four road statement in Atlanta. The Vols overcame an early deficit, ran for 299 yards and beat Georgia Tech 45-24. It was not spotless — 14 penalties made sure of that — but it traveled, and that matters.

What It Means for Tennessee
The Vols kept pace, passed their first road test and showed they can win without asking a freshman quarterback to carry the whole offense. The flags still need attention. The running game does not.
