Oregon
Tennessee hosted Oregon on September 11, 2010. The Volunteers took an early lead of 6-0, before a lightning warning delayed the game for over seventy minutes; during the delay the score was 13-3. Oregon would go on to score 45 unanswered points to cruise to an easy 35 point win despite the weather, which appeared to hinder Oregon's fast-paced offense.
