We’re just days from Tennessee football and UAB meeting on the gridiron, with the Vols attempting to bounce back from a tough loss to Georgia. Ahead of the real-life meeting, I fired up the College Football 26 video game to simulate the game inside Neyland Stadium.
The result was a blowout for the Vols, including three touchdowns for Peyton Lewis and a pair for Miles Kitselman. We’ll see how accurate the video game version is when UT meets the Blazers on Saturday at 12:45 ET in Knoxville. The game will air on SEC Network.
Here are the full results and stats of the simulation:
