Extends streak in loss Aguilar completed 29 of 44 passes for 299 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-24 loss versus Vanderbilt. He also had eight rushes for -15 yards.
Impact The senior quarterback delivered a solid passing day, extending his streak of 200+ yard games on the season. However, the Vols' offense stalled when it mattered most while Vanderbilt controlled tempo and limited second-half production. For fantasy purposes, Aguilar still offers a solid floor for yards and volume as he has thrown for at least one touchdown pass in every game this year. He completed 66.8 percent of passes for 3,444 yards, 24 touchdowns (10 interceptions) while carrying the ball 62 times for 104 yards and three scores during the regular season.

Impact The senior quarterback was efficient and mistake-free, maintaining his streak of 200+-yard passing games and taking advantage of the boosted momentum of a historic road win. His one touchdown pass came early and helped set the tone for Tennessee's dominant start. Moving forward, Aguilar's ability to sustain this efficient production and continue protecting the football will be key to maintaining the Vols' momentum through the rest of their schedule.
