  "account": "The Tennessee football team secured a 24-14 victory over Auburn on October 3 at Neyland Stadium, with freshman quarterback George MacIntyre replacing injured starter Faizon Brandon just before halftime. MacIntyre delivered an efficient performance, passing for 86 yards without committing any interceptions. Freshman running back DeSean Bishop shattered his career-high by rushing for 220 yards and three touchdowns on 34 carries, propelling Tennessee's offense to at least 200 yards for the 39th time in head coach Josh Heupel's tenure. Tennessee's defense led the nation in sacks, bolstered by safety Dejuan Lane's stellar play, including nine tackles, two sacks, 2.5 tackles-for-loss, and an interception. Linebacker Arion Carter also made a crucial contribution with a fumble recovery. Auburn's defense struggled to contain the Vols, allowing multiple big plays and a critical fourth-down stop to seal the game.",
