#BlackStripes
Butch Jones’ first task when he arrived at Tennessee? Learning his players’ names. Jones achieved this by leaving all practice helmets blank so that he, and the rest of the coaching staff, could learn who was who on the team ... and quickly. “It was done on purpose. We are a family and we expect them to know everyone’s name and us as coaches need to know their names. We came out here and a lot of times in coaching changes you see the name on the front and back of the helmets. We know our players. That has been a standard and an expectation in our program.” -@UTCoachJones
The number ‘63’ is a cornerstone of Butch Jones’ coaching philosophy. Ask any member of Team 118 and they will tell you what 63 means
#TennesseeTough Butch Jones expects each and every one of his players to earn their stripes on Team 118 ... Their orange stripes that is.
If you look around the Anderson Training Center you will see the number ‘63’ prominently displayed in team meeting rooms and position rooms.
63
Every new member of Team 118 had a black stripe placed on their helmets at the beginning of fall camp. The players’ staff was charged with determining when the newcomers could have the stripe removed.

#SuddenChange
Butch Jones is known for keeping his teams on their toes. “A football game is controlled chaos and you never know what’s expected. Great teams have leadership that can answer to sudden change opportunities. We’ll be in the middle of practice and then a noise comes on. It may be annoying, like a baby crying or glass breaking. I’m just trying to break their intensity & their focus because great teams in this conference have to go on the road in all the clutter and distraction. We have to focus on the task at hand and eliminate the clutter.” -@UTCoachJones

Jashon Robertson at right guard, Derek Barnett at defensive end, Ethan Wolf at tight end and Aaron Medley at placekicker were the starters. ¢ The last time Tennessee started three true freshmen on offense and defense was in 2011 as current Vols Justin Coleman, A.J. Johnson and Curt Maggitt all started vs. Montana. ¢ Robertson became the fourth true freshman to start on the offensive line in a season opener in Tennessee history. The previous true freshmen starters on the line were: Bill Mayo (1981), Michael Munoz (2000) and Ja’Wuan James (2010). ¢ Wolf became the first true freshman to start at tight end since freshmen became eligible in 1972 in a season opener. ¢ Barnett was the first true freshman to start a season opener on the defensive line in history as well. In 1984, Darrin Miller started as a redshirt freshman at middle guard on the defensive line as the last freshman to draw a nod in an opener.

CONSISTENT STAFF ¢ After several years of transition and turnover, Tennessee has the same exact full-time coaching staff for the second year in a row under the leadership of Butch Jones. ¢ The Vols are one of 17 programs to have the same coaching staff in 2014 as they had in 2013. Of those 17, only one has had a consistent staff for more than two consecutive years, Baylor, now in its fourth year in a row with the same staff. ¢ The last time, the Vols had the same staff for consecutive seasons was in 2006 and 2007.

It was the least by a FBS opponent since Florida went 3-13 on third down in 2012. ¢ 35 – Kick Return Yards for Devrin Young, who remained fourth on the all-time kick return list at Tennessee with 1,298. He needs nine yards to catch Corey Larkins (1,307) for third and is just 556 yards from Willie Gault’s all-time record of 1,854. ¢ 10 – Tackles for Jalen Reeves-Maybin, a new career high, topping the three he recorded against Georgia last season. Reeves-Maybin had 11 tackles in all of 2013, playing primarily on special teams. ¢ 23 – Yards covered on A.J. Johnson’s first-career interception, which he nearly returned for a touchdown.

@UTCoachJones
BUTCH JONES /// HEAD COACH The University of Tennessee announced on Dec. 7, 2012 the hiring of Butch Jones as the 24th head football coach of the Vols. Jones owns a 56-34 record (.622) in eight seasons as a head coach. His teams have earned bowl appearances in five of his first seven seasons as a head coach. Jones is 34-18 (.654) in conference play and both 45-2 when leading at halftime and 46-3 when leading after three quarters. Jones joined UT from the University of Cincinnati, where he finished with a 23-14 record (.657) in three seasons with the Bearcats. Tennessee opened its second season under Jones by playing 21 true freshmen in a 38-7 win over Utah State, the most true freshmen to play in a season opener in UT history. In his first season on Rocky Top, the Vols defeated No. 11/9 South Carolina, the first win for UT over a ranked opponent since 2009. Tennessee also rushed for 2,261 yards, the most for the Vols since 2004 and their second-highest total since 1999. The Vols’ opportunistic defense in 2013 forced 25 turnovers, tied for the second-most by a UT defense since 2005. UT also played the toughest schedule in the nation in 2013, including seven ranked teams. Jones and his staff have been relentless on the recruiting trail since arriving in Knoxville. In February 2014, Tennessee signed a consensus top 10 recruiting class that was ranked as high as top five by most media outlets. Jones has prioritized the state of Tennessee in his recruiting efforts, and the recent class featured the overwhelming majority of the top talent in the state of Tennessee signing with the Vols. Jones was also the head coach for three years at Central Michigan (27-13, .675, from 2007-09). He has won at least eight games in five of his six years as a head coach, including three seasons of nine-plus wins in the last four years (2009, 2011, 2012). Jones also has won 10 or more games twice, finishing 11-2 at Central Michigan in 2009 and posting a 10-3 record and top 25 final national ranking with Cincinnati in 2011. Jones has also finished the season ranked in the top 25 in three of the last four seasons (2009 with Central Michigan and 2011 and 2012 at Cincinnati). Jones has won four conference championships in his seven seasons as a head coach, including the Big East title in 2011 and 2012 with Cincinnati and the 2007 and 2009 Mid-American Conference titles at Central Michigan. He earned Big East Conference Coach of the Year honors from the league after his 10-win season with the Bearcats in 2011 and earned the same honor from CBSSports.com in 2012, a year in which the 2012 Cincinnati squad captured its second consecutive bowl victory while also finishing with a top 25 ranking. The Bearcats finished the regular season 9-3 with a 5-2 record in the Big East to share the conference crown. A staple of Jones’s programs has been success in the classroom, and that has certainly continued during his time at Tennessee.. The Vols also recorded an exemplary performance in the classroom, posting the highest GPA for a Spring semester in program hisand the second-highest WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT JONES tory GPA in UT annals during a “Coach Butch Jones is a man that not only has the foot- Fall semester since sportball acumen to bring Tennessee back to it’s rightful place by-sport data began to be in the SEC, and College Football world, he’s a man that recorded in 2003.

Championships years. Before accepting the head coaching position at Cincinnati, Jones’s 27-13 record at Central Michigan included a pair of MAC titles, three consecutive bowl appearances, and a No. 23 postseason ranking in 2009. The Chippewas were 22-3 in the MAC during his tenure, and he was the only head coach to lead the program to consecutive bowl games as well as the first in the history of the MAC to do so in his first three seasons. In addition to coaching Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl receiver Antonio Brown at Central Michigan, one of Jones’ players while coaching the Chippewas, offensive lineman Eric Fisher, was drafted No. 1 overall in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Jones recruited Fisher to join the CMU 2009 where he went on to a decorated career. Joining Fisher in Kansas City was another Jones product, Travis Kelce who was selected in the third round after playing at Cincinnati. Jones was the wide receivers coach at West Virginia from 2005-06 before he moved to Central Michigan, during which time the Mountaineers went a combined 22-3 and the 2005 squad defeated Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. He served as an assistant at Central Michigan for seven years from 1998-2004, as offensive coordinator (2002-04), running backs coach (1999-2004), and as tight ends coach (1998). Jones was also the offensive coordinator at Ferris State from 1995-97 and at Wilkes University from 1993-94 and also served as an assistant at Rutgers from 1990-92. Jones is a 1990 graduate of Ferris State University in Michigan, where he was a twoyear letterman on the football team. His original entry into the coaching ranks was as an intern with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1987-89. Jones and his wife, Barb, are the parents of three sons: Alex (17), Adam (13), and Andrew (7).

NEYLAND STADIUM /// SHIELDS-WATKINS FIELD
447-118-17
CAPACITY /// 102,455 THE BEST GETS BETTER
The Home of the Vols got a makeover in 2010, transforming one of college football’s meccas into an aesthetic masterpiece. The concrete walls that used to hold up the west side were replaced with brick. Below the press box, six new panels display some of the finest to ever don the Orange and White-- Al Wilson, Gen. Robert R. Neyland, Reggie White, Peyton Manning, Johnny Majors and Doug Atkins. Most noticeable from the outside are the approximately 700,000 bricks that totally transformed the look of the stadium’s north and west sides. Standing in the middle of that transformation is the majestic Gate 21 plaza area. Six lofty archways dominate the entrance, which doubles during the work week as a key campus transportation hub. Adjacent to the Gate 21 plaza is another change, the new amphitheater at the corner of Phillip Fulmer Way and Andy Holt Avenue. The Vol Network’s Kickoff Call-In Show takes place there, sporting spiffy new digs after spending years on a make-shift platform in front of a worn down hillside. Just inside Gate 21, the Tennessee Official Team Shop is open for business six days a week under management of the UT Bookstore. Four other souvenir locations are located throughout the stadium, including one in an exclusive new seating area.
19 STRAIGHT YEARS WITH 100,000+
Tennessee has had at least one home crowd of 100,000-plus in each of the last 19 seasons, including a sell-out against Utah State this year. Only Michigan has a longer streak dating back to 1975

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT NEYLAND STADIUM “The big games I played in Neyland Stadium are right up there with the Super Bowl. It is still one of the most electric atmospheres I have ever experienced, and the passion of the fans is what makes the difference.” -- Peyton Manning, Former Vol and Denver Broncos QB “It is a remarkable experience. It starts with the Vol Walk down to the stadium, and the energy just builds and builds until you run through the ‘T’ for kickoff.” -- Jerod Mayo, Former Vol and New England Patriots LB “Don’t know if it is the stadium on the water, a bright orange I can even see or the 100,000+ die-hard fans but Tennessee is definitely one of my top-5 spots in college football. Neyland and Tennessee, you far exceeded my expectations. -- Brock Huard, ESPN/SEC Network game analyst after first trip to Neyland in 2014 “I’ve been to LSU, Florida State and Texas and almost every place that could be considered one of the toughest places to play. But we went down to Knoxville for a night game, and that Tennessee crowd was the most impressive that I have ever faced. Neyland Stadium was just electric.” -- Bob Davie, ESPN game analyst and former Notre Dame head coach “It’s static noise. You can’t hear anything. You go up and down the line -- your wide receivers, your running backs, your tight ends -- nobody can hear. Nobody.” -- Nate Longshore, Former Cal quarterback (2006) “It’s got to be Tennessee! That night in that stadium with the orange and Rocky Top -- that’s my favorite!” -- Lee Corso, ESPN College Football Analyst

THE GENERAL
The Proverbial, Perpetual Yardstick
One of the greatest coaches in the history of the game of football, Gen. Robert Reese Neyland is still, and will most likely always be, the yardstick by which all Tennessee football coaches are measured. For 21 years, he led the Big Orange to win after win and championship after championship. His 173 wins, seven conference titles and four national championships set the bar at one of the nation’s finest football institutions. According to UT legend Gus Manning, no one summed up Neyland and his coaching ability better than Wallace Wade: “He could take his and beat yours or take yours and beat his.” -- Wallace Wade, Alabama and Duke head coach and Neyland rival.
Gen. Neyland’s Maxims of Football
1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win. 2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way -- SCORE. 3. If at first the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up -- put on more steam. 4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game. 5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle -- for this is the WINNING EDGE. 6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made. 7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

ANDERSON TRAINING CENTER Tennessee’s brand new, state-of-the-art Anderson Training Center is one of the most modern and functional buildings of its kind. The 145,000-square foot building includes an amphitheater-style team room, coaches’ offices, position meeting rooms, a dining hall, players’ lounge, a 7,000-square foot locker room, a 22,000-square foot, multi-level weight room as well as a new training room, hydrotherapy and nutrition area. The building also features several technological upgrades, including a state-of-the-art video delivery system for players and coaches. The locker room includes roomy, custom-built and ventilated lockers with electrical outlets for charging portable devices like cellphones, iPods and laptops. Also included in the building is an updated football hall of fame area. The Anderson Training Center joins the Brenda Lawson Athletic Center and Neyland-Thompson Sports Center. It provides student-athletes direct access to both the 120yard Robert E. White indoor football field and Haslam Field, Tennessee’s two outdoor football practice fields. The facility is named in honor of the leadership support of the Anderson family, including Charlie and Moll Anderson of Knoxville, Terry and Susan Anderson and Charlie Sr. and Hilda Anderson, both of Florence, Ala. Charlie is a former student-athlete with the Volunteer football program (1974-76) and served as a Board of Trustree member. He and Moll have been leadership donors to athletics for many years and have also impacted multiple areas of campus with their generosity. Terry also played football at UT and his son, Carson, also played for the Vols and graduated in Dec. 2012. The $45 million facility was dedicated on April 19, 2013.

¢ Tennessee will play Arkansas State for the second time; the lone meeting meeting was a Tennessee win, 48-27 on Sept. 22, 2007. ¢ In the last meeting, Vols quarterback Erik Ainge threw for 334 yards, just 43 yards fewer than Arkansas State’s total yardage of 377, and four touchdowns. ¢ The Vols are 7-0 all time vs. teams in the current Sun Belt. ¢ The Red Wolves are 0-3 against SEC opponents in the past five seasons. ¢ Butch Jones has never coached against Arkansas State. ¢ UT is 3-1 when playing on September 6. The last time to play on that day was in 2003, when the Vols beat Marshall, 34-24.
THE LAST MEETING Erik Ainge threw for a then career-high 334 yards and tied his top mark with four touchdowns in leading the Tennessee Volunteers to a commanding 48-27 win over Arkansas State. Ainge connected on 27-of-39 passing for the Volunteers (2-2) as they bounced back from a disappointing loss to Florida last weekend in Gainesville. LaMarcus Coker (101 yards) and Arian Foster (57 yards) both scored on the ground for the home team as well. The Indians (1-2) were paced by Reggie Arnold who gained a game-high 130 yards and scored once on 16 carries for the visitors. Corey Leonard converted 18- of35 for 199 yards and a touchdown, but he was sacked four times and was guilty of a pair of interceptions on the night. In addition to a couple of turnovers the Indians also cost themselves field position with six penalties. Needing less than three minutes to put the first points on the board, Tennessee took a 7-0 advantage when Ainge hit Lucas Taylor with a 17-yard scoring strike. Leonard responded for the visitors when he found Chris Miller with a six-yard touchdown pass less than three minutes later to knot the score at 7-7. A 15-yard TD pass from Ainge to Chris Brown was followed by a 29-yard field goal by UT kicker Daniel Lincoln to give the Volunteers a 17-7 advantage after one period of play. The lone interception thrown by Ainge came at the 9:13 mark of the second quarter, with Tyrell Johnson bringing it back 54 yards to cut the ASU deficit to 17-14. Capping a 10-play, 80-yard drive later in the frame, Ainge and Coker combined for a 25-yard TD pass. Just over a minute later Foster found his way into the end zone for Tennessee on a five-yard scamper to make the score 31-14. Before the end of the half the Indians maneuvered 30 yards down the field, enough to give Josh Arauco a shot at a 44-yard field goal, which made the score

Vols Cruise Past Utah State, 38-7 KNOXVILLE - Justin Worley loves playing with Tennessee’s talented group of newcomers, who helped Worley to a successful return from thumb surgery on Sunday night. Worley threw for 273 yards and three touchdowns, and the Volunteers beat Utah State 38-7 in a game matching two quarterbacks returning from injuries. Worley completed his first 13 passes of the second half in his first appearance since missing Tennessee’s final four games last season. He was 27 of 38 overall, connecting with 10 different receivers. He said he benefited from having more playmakers around him, thanks in part to the arrival of a heralded recruiting class. Worley threw touchdown passes to Brendan Downs, Von Pearson and Jalen Hurd in front of a sellout crowd of 102,455 at Neyland Stadium. His 27 completions were a career high. Worley outperformed Chuckie Keeton, who was playing for the first time since tearing the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee last October. Keeton went 18 of 35 for 144 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown pass. He also ran for 12 yards on eight carries. Tennessee is relying heavily on newcomers as it attempts to end a string of four straight losing seasons, and they wasted no time making an impact. By the midway point of the first quarter, Tennessee already had played 16 true freshmen, the most ever used by the Vols in a season opener. They ended up using 21 true freshmen. Two of Worley’s TD passes went to newcomers; Hurd is a freshman and Pearson a junior-college transfer. Todd Kelly Jr., another freshman, had a fumble recovery that set up a touchdown. Utah State, one of only nine Football Bowl Subdivision teams to win at least 20 games combined in the 2012 and 2013 seasons, has a reputation for scaring big-name opponents and playing well away from home. But the Aggies didn’t put up much of a fight Sunday. Tennessee opened the scoring by getting two touchdowns in a span of 14 seconds six minutes into the game. Alton “Pig” Howard got things started with an 8-yard run around the right end for the junior’s first career rushing touchdown. When Utah State’s Kennedy Williams took the ensuing kickoff out of the end zone, A.J. Johnson knocked the ball away and Kelly recovered. On the next play, Worley found tight end Brendan Downs for a 12-yard touchdown. The turnover on the kickoff return marked just the second career forced fumble for Johnson, a senior all-Southeastern Conference linebacker. He added his first career interception in the fourth quarter, setting up Marlin Lane’s 7-yard touchdown run. Tennessee extended the advantage to 17-0 by halftime. Utah State didn’t reach Tennessee territory until the opening series of the second half, a drive that ended with Jake Thompson’s 48-yard field-goal attempt going wide left. Pearson caught a short pass, made a nifty move around a defender and scored from 18 yards out late in the third. Hurd’s 15-yard reception on the first play of the fourth quarter made it 31-0. Utah State broke up the shutout bid on Keeton’s 37-yard touchdown pass from Keeton to Hunter Sharp with 14:16 remaining. >> SCORING SUMMARY Team Qtr Time Scoring Play Conversion UT 1st 9:23 Howard 8 yd run Medley kick UT 1st 9:09 Downs 12 yd pass from Worley Medley kick UT 2nd 1:00 Medley 36 yd field goal UT 3rd 5:31 Pearson 14 yd pass from Worley Medley kick UT 4th 14:51 Hurd 15 yd pass from Worley Medley kick USU 4th 14:16 Sharp 37 yd pass from Keeton Diaz kick UT 4th 10:36 Lane 7 yd run Medley kick
