It is safe to say that the Austin Peay Governors didn’t start their 2023 campaign the way they wanted to, and will be hard pressed for a win again this Saturday if they don’t want to fall to 0-2. The Governors offense wasn’t the issue in Saturday’s loss, as the defense was unable to contain the Salukis offense. DiLeillo didn’t have a great game Saturday but he isn’t to blame for the loss, as he completed 20/34 passing attempts while ringing in two touchdowns.

Joe Milton and the Tennessee Volunteers will enter this game at home against Mike DiLiello and the Austin Peay Governors following a massive win last Saturday against the Virginia Cavaliers which resulted in a final score of 49-13. It will be interesting to see if the Volunteers can carry the momentum over from last week, to this game against the 0-1 Governors.

There is no shortage of skill and talent on the Tennessee Volunteers, but quarterback Joe Milton is on a completely different level. Milton is without a doubt the face of this team and will be the one leading the charge all season long. In the Volunteers game last week, Milton gave it his all as he completed 21/30 passing attempts while throwing two touchdowns and running in two of his own.
