Vols Outlast Ohio 34-23

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Jonathan Crompton threw for two touchdowns as Tennessee turned to its unsteady passing game to beat Ohio 34-23 Saturday night. Crompton threw a 26-yard screen pass to Bryce Brown to give the Vols (2-2) a 31-20 lead with 2:38 in the third quarter and lobbed a 3-yard scoring strike to Brandon Warren at the end of the first. The Vols, who have been relying on their strong running game to make up for woeful passing, rushed for 177 yards while Crompton completed 17 of 34 passes for 222 yards. He also threw his eighth interception of the season. Ohio (2-2) kept Tennessee uncomfortable by taking advantage of the Vols' mistakes and passing for 319 yards. Ohio's Chris Garrett returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. ( by www.utsports.com) The SEC Rocks!
