  "account": "Tennessee football quarterback Faizon Brandon faced his first road challenge in college during a September 12 game against Georgia Tech. Despite a lackluster box score, Heupel praised Brandon's performance, noting his composure and situational football handling. Brandon finished with 10 completions on 21 passes for 148 yards, scoring two touchdowns without an interception. He was sacked once but gained 23 yards on five rushing attempts. Brandon struggled early, completing just 5 of 15 passes in the first half, but helped the Vols regain control with a blocked punt return touchdown and strong second-half performance. The Vols amassed 299 rushing yards in the second and third quarters, scoring 24 unanswered points before securing a 45-24 victory. Heupel expressed confidence in Brandon's poise and consistency going forward.",
