To Note Vols Win Four Consecutive in November
On November 27, Tennessee defeated Kentucky 24-14 to improve to 6-6 and become bowl eligible for the second consecutive season...in addition to being the fourth consecutive win for the Vols following a 2-6 start, the win was also the 26th consecutive for the Vols over the Wildcats...the four-game winning streak is the first for Tennessee since 2007, and a bowl victory would give the Vols their first five-game winning streak since UT won five in a row to close the 2007 regular season. Despite an 0-5 start in conference play this season, Tennessee’s three-game winning streak vs. SEC opponents trails only Auburn (9) and Arkansas (5) in the conference. Tennessee finished 4-3 at home (2-2 SEC) and 2-3 on the road (1-3 SEC). Head coach Derek Dooley is just the fifth Tennessee coach to lead a team to a bowl game in his first sea-
son...dating to 1939 and UT’s first bowl game, the Vols have had 11 head coaches...in 1939, General Robert R. Neyland led the Vols to a 17-0 win over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl...Tennessee head coaches are 5-4 alltime in their first bowl game with the Vols.
Welcome to the Music City

Tennessee is 25-23 all-time in bowl games...this year’s trip is the 49th for the Vols, moving UT into a tie with the Texas for the second-most bowl appearances.

Coaching Notes
Head Coach Derek Dooley The Dooley Era Begins
Derek Dooley may own a rival’s pedigree, but to Tennessee fans he felt just like one of their own when the Vols introduced him as the school’s 22nd head coach in January. Dooley, 42, came to UT after three seasons as head coach at Louisiana Tech, where he also served as athletics director since March 2008. He was the only athletics director serving as head football coach on the FBS level. Dooley is the youngest son of Georgia legend Vince Dooley, who coached the Bulldogs for 25 seasons and claimed six league crowns and the 1980 national title. Dooley never accepted the predetermined path to success. He played his college football at Virginia, turning down scholarship offers elsewhere to walk on and later earn his own scholarship from Cavaliers head coach George Welsh. Then after a successful start to the legal profession, Dooley switched gears and returned to his love of football. Four short years later, he latched onto the staff of Nick Saban at LSU and moved into the fast lane of the SEC. After five successful seasons that included the 2003 national title, Dooley moved with Saban to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Dooley was named to his first head coaching position by Louisiana Tech in December 2006, and immediately began laying the foundation for future success. Included in his 17-20 overall record was an 8-5 mark in 2008 highlighted by the school’s first postseason victory in 30 years at the Independence Bowl. Tech finished second in the WAC that season and played in a bowl game for only the third time since joining the major college ranks in 1989. The Louisiana Sports Writers’ Association named him 2008 Coach of the Year. Dooley is married to Dr. Allison Jeffers Dooley, an OB/GYN and Fort Worth, Texas, native. They have two sons, John Taylor and Pey-

Head Coaching Debuts
Derek Dooley is Tennessee’s 22nd head coach and on Sept. 4 became the 18th to win his first game as Vols skipper. Overall, Tennessee head coaches are 18-4 all-time in their first games. Gen. Robert R. Neyland coached the Vols during three separate tenures and thus had two additional “first” games. He won all three contests, improving the total number to 20-4.
Coaching Prowess
Head coach Derek Dooley’s staff at Tennessee has a proven track record-eight of his assistants have coaching experience in one of the BCS conferences, five have coached in the NFL and three have experienced the formiddable SEC. Baggett, Chaney, Hiestand, Smith and Wylie spent a combined 24 years coaching in the NFL with eight different teams-- the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Houston Oilers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets and St. Louis Rams. UT’s assistant coaching staff has a combined 66 years of coaching experience in all six BCS automatic qualifying conferences. The Vols’ assistant coaches have coached in the bowl games that now comprise the BCS a total of 10 times and boast coaching experience in 59 total bowl games-- including the Super Bowl.
Noting the Staff Chaney, Thompson Return
Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and linebackers coach Lance Thompson are in their second years in Knoxville. Both joined Tennessee’s staff in 2009 and were retained by first-year head coach Derek Dooley. Chaney, arrived on The Hill after three seasons in the NFL with the St. Louis Rams. He was most notably the mastermind of a stellar Purdue offense from 19972005, during which time the Boilermakers ranked inside the top 10 nationally in total offense six times. Super Bowl XLIV winning quarterback Drew Brees played for Chaney during his tenure in West Lafeyette, and the pair led Purdue to the Big Ten Championship and a Rose Bowl berth in 2000. Thompson came to Rocky Top via Tuscaloosa, where he served on Nick Saban’s staff from 200708. His coaching resume is overflowing--Thompson has been a member of two national championships staffs, has a pair of SEC titles, two ACC championships and a Conference USA divisonal winner.
Smith Comes Home
Rounding out Derek Dooley’s staff was former Tennessee standout Chuck Smith. The Athens, Ga., native coaches the Vols’ defensive line. Best known for his work with some of the biggest names in pro football, Smith spent last season with the New York Jets No. 1 ranked pass defense. Over the past five seasons, Smith has coached and mentored nearly 60 NFL players, including Albert Haynesworth, Robert Ayers and Shaun Ellis-- all three former Vols. He also worked with Michael Johnson, Osi Umenyiora, Derek Morgan and Bart Scott.
During his career in the NFL, Smith recorded 58.5 sacks in nine seasons and served as a captain during the Atlanta Falcons’ lone Super Bowl appearance after the 1998 season. He was later selected the “Best Defensive Lineman in Team History,” by Falcons’ fans. On The Hill, Smith started at right end for two seasons. He helped the Big Orange to a win in the 1990 Sugar Bowl and earned All-SEC honors in 1991.
Wilcox on a Rising Star
According to a recent Sports Illustrated article, Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox is one of college football’s best assistant coaches. The article, compiled by Andy Staples and Stewart Mandel, predicts Wilcox’s career is on the rise, citing the 49-4 record Boise State amassed during his four year tenure with the Broncos.

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. UTSports.com | 3

Connections... Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley and North Carolina defensive backs coach Troy Douglas worked together at SMU from 1997-99. Dooley oversaw the wide receivers and added Co-Recruiting Coordinator to his title in 1998 while Douglas mentored the defensive backs during that span. Three members of the North Carolina coaching staff have a history in the Southeastern Conference. UNC head coach Butch Davis played football at Arkansas and graduated in 1974. Offensive coordinator John Shoop received his master’s degree at Vanderbilt and served as a graduate assistant coach for the Commodores from 1992-94. Linebackers coach Art Kaufman coached two stints at Mississippi. He served as an assistant coach for the defensive ends and linebackers from 1988-1991 and returned as Ole Miss’ defensive coordinator from 1995-2000. Tennessee linebackers coach Lance Thompson is the lone individual on the Vols’ coaching staff to boast coaching experience in the ACC. Thompson worked as a graduate assistant on Georgia Tech’s staff in 1988-89 followed by two more years as a volunteer assistant. From 1992-94, Thompson was the Director of Football Operations for the Yellow Jackets. Thompson served in several different roles with Georgia Tech from 1995-98 and again in 2001. UNC’s Art Kaufman coached at Middle Tennessee from 2005-07 as the Blue Raiders’ linebackers coach, where he worked alongside UT quarterbacks coach Darin Hinshaw in ’05. Tennessee’s roster features a pair of North Carolina products. Junior linebackers Daryl Vereen (Charlotte, N.C./North Mecklenburg H.S.) and Austin Johnson (Hickory, N.C./Hickory H.S.) each went to high school in North Carolina. Vereen played prep football with UNC junior offensive lineman Peyton Jenest at North Mecklenburg H.S.). The North Carolina roster boasts four studentathletes from the state of Tennessee. Sophomore safety Gene Robinson (Whitehaven H.S.) and freshman defensive lineman Quinton Alton (Hillcrest H.S.) are from Memphis, while junior cornerback Brian Gupton hails from Nashville (PearlCohn H.S.) and junior defensive end Michael McAdoo grew up in Antioch (Antioch H.S.).

Tauren Poole had touchdown runs of 24 yards and 14 yards as Tennessee beat UT Martin 50-0 on Saturday night for Derek Dooley’s first victory as the Volunteers’ coach. It was Tennessee’s first shutout since a 48-0 win over Vanderbilt in 2003 and first time facing an FCS opponent since a win over The Citadel in 1983. Tauren Poole had been waiting all year to prove he’d been unfairly stuck behind Bryce Brown and David Oku on the Vols’ depth chart last season. He delivered, darting through holes, running around coverage and picking up 110 yards on 17 carries before sitting out the entire fourth quarter. Oku had his share of carries too and found some large holes for a 44-yard touchdown run with 5:00 left in the first quarter to give the Vols a 10-0 lead in the season opener for both teams. Denarius Moore ran 58 yards for a touchdown and caught a 42-yard scoring pass from Matt Simms. Moore finished with 66 yards on four catches, and Gerald Jones had 86 yards on six catches before injuring his left hand. Tennessee scored nearly every way it could. Austin Johnson tackled D.J. McNeil in the end zone for a safety. Prentiss Waggner intercepted Derek Carr and ran 54 yards for a touchdown. Daniel Lincoln kicked field goals of 21 and 35 yards.

LaMichael James ran for 134 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown, in his first game back after a one-game suspension and No. 7 Oregon scored 45 consecutive points to beat Tennessee 48-13 on Saturday night. James had only 27 yards at halftime after being targeted by the Volunteers’ defense for the entire first half. He started picking up momentum after the break, rushing for 25 yards on five carries in the Oregon’s first second-half drive. He broke several tackles on the 72-yard touchdown run on the first play of the subsequent drive for the Ducks (2-0). Tennessee (1-1) went up 13-3 in the first half after an hour-long delay for lightning but fell apart after James’ long run. A pass by Matt Simms intended for Zach Rogers was intercepted by Cliff Harris, who returned it 76-yards for another score to give Oregon a 27-13 lead with 6:27 left in the third quarter. The Vols got a 48-yard field goal from Daniel Lincoln on their first drive and immediately got the ball back when Barner fumbled the following kickoff after a 39-yard return. Da’Rick Rogers had a 21-yard run that set up a 35-yard field goal by Lincoln with 8:53 left in the first quarter.

Tennessee had its chances against a second-straight top-10 foe, down seven points midway through the fourth quarter. But Florida used a nine-play drive capped by a 2-yard touchdown run from Trey Burton to seal a 31-17 victory. Tennessee (1-2, 0-1) tied the game at 10 with a 49-yard touchdown pass from Matt Simms to Denarius Moore with 8:59 in the third quarter. Simms completed 19 of 31 passes on the afternoon for two touchdownss and a career-best 259 yards against a pair of interceptions. Florida appeared stopped on the next drive until Meyer called for a fake punt on fourth-and-6. Omarius Hines ran 36 yards to keep the drive alive, and John Brantley eventually connected with Frankie Hammond on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Early in the fourth quarter, Simms appeared to be sacked in the end zone for a safety, but an official review ruled him down on the 1. Tennessee punted but forced a turnover and scored on its next possession, a 35-yard touchdown pass from Simms to Justin Hunter on fourth-and-6 to cut Florida’s lead to 24-17 with a 11:24 left. After Burton’s touchdown put the Gators up 31-17, Tauren Poole took a reception 31 yards into UF territory before the ball was jarred loose, ending the Vols comeback bid. Tennessee scored first for the first time against Florida since 2001 when Daniel Lincoln kicked a late first-quarter, 49-yard field goal, tying his career high.

Oct. 2 | Tiger Stadium | Baton Rouge, La. | Attendance: 92,932
BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU scored on the game’s very first play and again on the very last play -- after Tennessee was penalized for too many men on the field. Those scores were enough to allow the Tigers to escape with a 16-14 decision that was heartbreaking to the UT faithful. The Tigers remained unbeaten after a Volunteers penalty for too many players on the field rescued LSU from what appeared to be a botched final play. LSU (5-0, 3-0 SEC) was confused on third-and-goal from the 1 and allowed the clock to run nearly to zero before a mishandled snap seemingly ended the game and sent Tennessee players streaming onto the field in jubilation. The celebration was cut short when officials ruled the Volunteers (2-3, 0-2) had 13 defensive players on the field when the ball was snapped. Stevan Ridley then bulled into the end zone from less than a yard out for the wild finish. Jordan Jefferson had an 83-yard TD run on LSU’s first offensive play, but UT’s defense limited the Tigers after that, forcing four turnovers including three interceptions. Tennessee was in the game the whole way despite playing in its first road game of the season. Tauren Poole’s 1-yard dive over the pile helped the Vols to a 7-7 tie at halftime. Matt Simms’ 3-yard touchdown run put the Vols in the lead with 11:34 left in the fourth quarter. The first interception of LaMarcus Thompson’s career in the Vols’ end zone put Tennessee in position to bury the Tigers in a hole with another score, but theTigers’defense got a critical stop on fourthand-1 at the LSU 31. Poole topped 100 yards for the third time in 2010 with a 109-yard performance. Gerald Jones returned from a three-game absence after nursing a hand injury to lead the Vols with five receptions for 46 yards while helping UT convert a season-high seven third downs.

Oct. 9 | Sanford Stadium | Athens, Ga. | Attendance: 92,746
ATHENS, Ga. -- Aaron Murray ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more as Georgia snapped a four-game losing streak and defeated Tennessee 41-14 at Sanford Stadium. A.J. Green caught his third touchdown pass in two weeks as the Bulldogs ended their longest losing streak since 1990. The Vols fell to 2-4 (0-3 in the SEC) and committed three turnovers, allowing the Bulldogs to take a 17-0 lead in the first quarter. Murray was 17 of 25 for 266 yards passing and ran seven times for 41 yards. Green had six catches for 96 yards, giving him 13 catches for 215 yards since his return. Freshman Justin Hunter was a bright spot for Tennessee, catching four passes for 110 yards and one touchdown. Hunter was on the receiving end of a 38-yard touchdown from Matt Simms in the second quarter, and his 100-yard receiving effort was the first for a Vols freshman since Robert Meacham did so in 2004. Matt Simms finished 9-of-13 for 179 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Tauren Poole accounted for the other Tennessee touchdown on a 2-yard run in the third quarter and finished with 51 yards on 15 carries. True freshman Rajion Neal caught three passes for 70 yards, while Tyler Bray played the fourth quarter at quarterback and went 8-for12 for 81 yards. During one drive in the fourth quarter, Bray was one of seven true freshmen on the field for the Vols.

Trent Richardson’s 65-yard touchdown run and 5-yard touchdown reception were part of 28 unanswered second-half points as No. 7 Alabama beat Tennessee 41-10 on Saturday night. Alabama came out of halftime with only a 13-10 lead after a sluggish first half. The Tide wasted no time in the third quarter, getting three straight first downs on its opening drive before Mark Ingram pushed the ball 1 yard for the touchdown for a 20-10 lead. Richardson and Ingram had just 91 yards rushing at halftime, but added 96 yards on the ground in the third quarter, including Richardson’s touchdown and a pair of 1-yard scoring runs by Ingram. Richardson finished with 119 yards on 12 carries, and Ingram had 88 yards on 14 runs. For their part, the Volunteers had a few shots to keep the game competitive in the second half. Matt Simms led a long drive that eventually stalled at the Alabama 35 after three straight run plays, and Michael Palardy missed a 52-yard field goal attempt that could have cut the Crimson Tide’s lead to a touchdown. Tennessee got the first score for the first time since the Vols’ 17-13 win in 2004. Tauren Poole found a gaping hole in the line and ran 59 yards to the end zone with 8:44 left in the first quarter. Poole finished with 117 yards on the ground, becoming the first player to rush for more than 100 yards against Alabama since Mississippi’s BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 131 on Oct. 13, 2007.
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Tennessee battled back from a 14-point deficit, but ultimately fell short in its upset bid of No. 17 South Carolina, dropping the contest by a score of 38-24. Senior wide receiver Denarius Moore, had a career day, pulling down six catches for 228 yards, the second-best mark in Tennessee history. The Vols, trailing 24-10 in the third quarter, pulled off their first successful fake punt since 2004 as Chad Cunningham ran for 25 yards on fourth-and-10. On the next play, freshman quarterback Tyler Bray connected with Moore on a 30-yard scoring pass to pull within a touchdown. Bray and Moore were at it again on Tennessee’s next series. The two combined for a 64-yard reception to the Gamecocks 2 and, after a personal foul penalty pushed the Vols back, Bray hit Gerald Jones for a 17-yard touchdown to tie it up at 24-all. Bray, who entered the game in the third quarter, told his teammates not to hang their heads. “I came back in the second half and said, ‘Hey guys, lets go’ and started throwing it to the playmakers,” said Bray, who also threw an interception that defensive end Devin Taylor returned 24 yards for a touchdown. Redshirt sophomore linebacker Herman Lathers led the Volunteers with seven tackles (six solo) and one sack.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Freshman quarterback Tyler Bray, starting his first game for Tennessee, threw for 325 yards and five touchdowns Saturday night to lead the Volunteers to a 50-14 victory over Memphis. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for Tennessee (3-6), which was never threatened after the first quarter. Bray, who took over the helm last week from junior Matt Simms, picked apart the young Memphis secondary from the start. Tauren Poole rushed for 101 yards, and scored twice -- once on a 21-yard run and another on a 9-yard pass from Bray. The Vols would end the night with 510 yards of offense, including 379 through the air. The 50 points matched Tennessee’s largest scoring output of the season. The bulk of Bray’s statistics came in the first half as he completed 17 of 28 passes for 308 yards and all five of his touchdown passes. The 308 yards and five TDs were both school records for a single half. Bray threw scoring passes to talented freshmen Justin Hunter and DaRick Rogers, as well as veterans Denarius Moore and Gerald Jones during Tennessee’s first-half offensive onslaught. UT’s defense was also on its game, forcing five turnovers and sacking Memphis QBs on f i v e different occasions.
Tyler Bray threw three touchdown passes, two of them to Justin Hunter, and Tauren Poole ran for two more as Tennessee got its first Southeastern Conference win of the season with a 52-14 victory over Mississippi on Saturday. On Tennessee’s first play from scrimmage, Bray attempted a pass to Gerald Jones which was tipped by Mississippi’s Jonathan Cornell right into the hands of Justin Hunter. Hunter had 80 yards of green space and took it all the way to the end zone. The Vols (4-6, 1-5) were in control the whole game, thanks to Bray’s passing. The Vols had only seven yards on the ground in the first half but countered it with 265 yards by air. Bray finished 18 for 34 with 323 yards. In two games as the starter, Bray has completed 37 of 67 for 648 yards and eight touchdowns without turning the ball over. Ole Miss (4-6, 1-5) couldn’t get its offense going with Masoli being pressured by the Vols’ defensive line all day. The Rebels entered the game having given up only seven sacks in eight games, but the Vols took Masoli down twice and sacked backup Nathan Stanley once. Tennessee took a 21-0 lead with 2:33 left in the first quarter when Eric Gordon picked off a pass by Masoli at the Rebels 46 and ran it back for a touchdown. Prentiss Waggner returned another Masoli interception for a score, his third touchdown on an interception return this season, setting a Tennessee record.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tauren Poole rushed for 99 yards and the game-clinching touchdown and Tennessee kept its bowl hopes alive under first-year coach Derek Dooley with 24-10 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday night. Vanderbilt (2-9, 1-7 Southeastern Conference) threatened with a late touchdown, but Tennessee (5-6, 2-5) sent the Commodores to their sixth straight loss when Poole took advantage of a failed onside kick to rip off a 28-yard touchdown run with 1:11 remaining. Tennessee won its third straight game for the first time since 2007 and must beat Kentucky next Saturday to clinch bowl eligibility. Tyler Bray threw for 232 yards, but struggled for the first time since taking over as starter three weeks ago with two interceptions. That didn’t stop the Volunteers from beating the Commodores for the fifth straight time and 27th of 28 in the series. Bray got off to a fast start, completing nine of his first 10 passes and put UT up 14-0 midway through the second quarter with a TD passes of 15 yards to Justin Hunter and 20 yards to Denarius Moore. Tennessee lost a touchdown when defensive tackle Malik Jackson’s late hit on Vanderbilt quarterback Larry Smith wiped out Gerald Williams’ interception return for a score. Gerald Jones caught 6 passes for 80 yards for the Volunteers.
Tyler Bray threw for 354 yards and two TDs as Tennessee extended its winning streak over Kentucky to 26 straight games to become bowl eligible with a 24-14 victory at Neyland Stadium. Kentucky tied the game at 14 with 10:10 left in the third quarter when Mike Hartline hit Tyler Robinson on a 2-yard TD pass on fourth-and-1. The Wildcats got the ball back on the next drive when Bray threw one of his two interceptions to Mychal Bailey in the Kentucky end zone. They couldn’t capitalize, and Tennessee drove 73 yards and got a 2-yard touchdown run by Tauren Poole on its ensuing drive to take the lead. Daniel Lincoln kicked a 36-yard field goal with 9:19 in the fourth quarter to pad the margin. Hartline finished 31-of-44 for 272 yards, the TD and an interception. Randall Cobb had 13 catches for 116 yards but did not score a touchdown for the first game all season. Derrick Locke ran 24 times for 97 yards, but only eight of those yards came after halftime. Kentucky appeared poised to take a 14-point lead late in the first quarter after putting together a 16-play, 78-yard drive. But Locke fumbled at the Vols 1 and Tennessee’s Nick Reveiz recovered in the end zone. After Reveiz’ recovery, Bray completed four passes, including a 44-yard pass to Moore and an 11-yard touchdown toss to Gerald Jones to tie the game at 7 with 13:53 in the second quarter. Tennessee had only two plays on the next drive, a 49-yard pass from Bray to Moore and a 12yard touchdown toss between the pair to give the Vols a 14-7 lead.
