KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Dylan Sampson rushed for 101 yards and four touchdowns — all in the first half — to lead No. 7 Tennessee to a 71-0 victory over Kent State Saturday night. It was Sampson's fourth straight game — dating back to last season's Citrus Bowl game — in which he rushed for over 100 yards. DeSean Bishop added 120 rushing yards and two TDs in the first half for the Volunteers. They led 65-0 at halftime, the largest one-half point total in school history. The 71 points are the most in modern-era school history. The Golden Flashes generated just 23 total yards in the first half.
