Celebrated too Soon-er Vols blow 17 point lead in loss to Oklahoma
Taylor White Assistant Sports Editor As No. 19 Oklahoma was driving to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, the No. 23 Tennessee football team found themselves in a familiar position. Tennessee held a 17-3 lead heading into the final period, but that lead would not hold.
Volume 130 Issue 18
Junior Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield hit senior wide receiver Sterling Shepard in the back of the end zone to knot the score with 40 seconds remaining in the game. The Sooners would go on win to the game 31-24 in double overtime, leaving the Vols on the losing end of another fourth quarter comeback at Neyland Stadium. “I’m really, really proud of our players,” head coach Butch Jones said after the game. “They
laid it on the line and came up short. I’m very, very proud of them, the resiliency, the effort against a good football team.” Field position proved critical in the second half, but Tennessee was unable to take advantage of the breaks that came its way. It took Tennessee (1-1) two plays to reach the Oklahoma (2-0) 24 yard line on the first play of the second half. A loss of six on first down and back-to-back dropped passes, how-

ever, ended the drive in a missed long field goal. Sophomore defensive back Todd Kelly Jr. picked off Mayfield, setting the Vols up inside the Sooner 30-yard line. On the first play of the drive, however, sophomore running back Jalen Hurd fumbled the ball backwards, resulting in a large loss. The Vols were forced to punt two plays later. See FOOTBALL on Page 11

DISPATCHES Germany implements border checks for Syrian refugees On Sunday, Germany introduced new temporary border checks to regulate the flow of Syrian refugees streaming into the country, indicating the need for more aid from neighboring European countries to cope with the strain. Following subsequent tragedies involving 34 refugees who died when a boat capsized off the coast of Greece, handling the flux of immigrants have proven to be a source of divisiveness define between European nations. Last week, Germany and Austria both allowed refugees amassed in Hungary to move inside their borders for temporary relief. While Germany’s invitation remains open, officials in Berlin have expressed frustration with the lack of response provided by countries in the Eastern “bloc” within the European Union.

Homes destroyed by California wildfire
Heidi Hill
At least 100 homes were destroyed by a wildfire that broke out in Northern California’s Lake County, according to official reports on Sunday afternoon. The devastated region followed a trend set by a similar fire which broke out last week in the southeast section. A spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said that wind gusts up to 30 mph made it difficult for fire personnel to keep the flames under control as embers continued to rain down on ignited homes. Four firefighters were injured on Saturday from battling the blaze. While no official tally has recorded the extent of the devastation, residents who evacuated Clear Lake Riviera, a town about 30 miles away from the blaze, and surrounding areas had to avoid fallen telephone poles, power lines and trees.
The concept of gender neutral pronouns has been on Rocky Top a lot longer than most people realize. Beginning in the spring quarter of 1973, The Daily Beacon began using the words “tey,” “tem” and “ter” when referring to a person whose sex was not known. The usage of these gender neutral pronouns began on a year-long trial basis until they were eventually discontinued. The inspiration for the change came from a Ms. Magazine article, composed by the feminist writers Kate Swift and Casey Miller. Before her death in 2011, Kate Swift coauthored two books, “Words and Women” and “The Handbook of Nonsexist Writing,” calling attention to the inherent sexism she perceived in the English language. Unlike the gender neutral pronouns suggested by the Office for Diversity and Inclusion this past August, which aimed to introduce language more suitable for those not identifying with a specific gender, the 1973 Beacon initiative seemed to have been rooted in a second-wave feminist ideology critical of sexism in the English language.

explained in a 42-year old Daily Beacon article that by implementing these gender neutral pronouns, the Beacon would help reverse that tendency. “We’re doing this because we’ve come to realize that there is a need for a singular pronoun that is truly generic- one that doesn’t imply that a masculine gender alone represents all persons,” Potter said. “The idea isn’t new — it was suggested in the 19th century, for example, but no one has ever implemented any changes.” A September 1973 issue of The Daily Beacon offered an example for the usage of the pronouns: “Tey will take English 110, but does not know ter section number which has not yet been assigned to tem yet.” The University of Tennessee gained national attention this year when the Office for Diversity and Inclusion issued a newsletter with a list of suggested gender neutral pronouns for individuals who may prefer not to be referred to as “he” or “she.” The newsletter was mistakenly reported as a mandatory policy by some sources, but was in fact meant as a suggestion to facilitate a more inclusive campus. UT President Joe DiPietro and Chancellor Jimmy Cheek made the decision to remove the post from the Office for Diversity and Inclusion’s website last week, with Cheek citing a need to “move forward” after the newsletter was mistaken for a mandatory policy.

Tour explores paranormal side of Knoxville Katherine Fuller Contributor
Every Friday and Saturday night you can find a tour guide in historic Market Square looking for a group to take on a haunted tour around downtown Knoxville. J-Adam Smith is a paranormal historian who has been working to uncover Knoxville’s gruesome history. He is receiving national attention with an appearance on the Travel Channel and many other media outlets. Needless to say, if you need a paranormal expert, he’s your man. If you’re a Knoxville native, these are areas you have walked through quite often. His tour consists of about a mile walk through historic downtown Knoxville. Buildings and parks that normally go unnoticed actually have a dark past that many people do not know of. From its starting point in Market Square in front of Earth to Old City, the tour moves toward the East Tennessee History Museum. After hearing about the many stories that came out of the museum and a few tales on the surrounding buildings, the tour moves towards the Oarsman statue on the corner of West Church Avenue to find out the truth behind the mysterious commission of the statue. This was the location of the first paranormal experience on Friday’s tour. Next stop is a trip to the First Presbyterian Church Cemetery, the oldest cemetery in Knoxville. Smith will explain the unfinished business some of the spirits have and leave you to do some hunting on your own. The tour ends on Gay Street with some photo evidence of a haunting near Mast General Store. Although these are the only places physically visited, Smith throws in tidbits of historic facts about many different paranormal altercations and haunted locations along the way. The plethora of historic tales and legends alone make the tour more than worthwhile, but the most intriguing part about this tour is that Smith allows the group to use actual ghost hunting equipment. Each of the 11 people on Friday night’s tour got their own piece of gear to work with. There were multiple electromagnetic field detectors, which sense if there is a change in energy around you. These changes in energy are the most easily detected sources of paranormal activity in an area of a traumatic incident. Flashlights were given out, which use simple circuits and can be turned on and off by spirits nearby. These in particular saw a lot of action while exploring in the graveyard.
“
Spirits like for you to introduce yourself, to be interested in their stories and to use your manners. Make sure you tell them when you’re leaving and thank them for their time.”
A radio scanner was used any time activity was sensed in order to give the spirits a medium to speak through. It was difficult at first to decipher the voices from the radio static but you catch the things you’re meant to hear. Cameras are also encouraged to try to find anything lingering in the air. In addition to learning how to operate this ghost-hunting equipment, Smith imparted some ghostly etiquette to the tour as well. This tour teaches you to not be afraid, to not ghost hunt under any influence, and to be polite. Spirits like for you to introduce yourself, to be interested in their stories and to use your manners. Make sure you tell them when you are leaving and thank them for their time. If you’re interested in some untold Knoxville history or anything paranormal, this tour is well worth your time and money. The tour guide is very knowledgeable, open to any questions, and even brings umbrellas for you to use. Private tours are held Sunday through Thursday with prices varying with the number of participants. Public tours are every Friday and Saturday beginning at 8:30p.m., rain or shine.

NEW MUSIC MONDAYS Ben Folds: “So There” Katey Robinson Contributor In So There’s single “Phone in a Pool,” Ben Folds laments that it “Seems what’s been good for music / Hasn’t always been good for the life.” This sentiment is reflected through many of the tracks on his recent album, which is in collaboration with classical chamber ensemble musicians of the Nashville Symphony. Title track “So There” features an appealing combination of piano and strings, but with disconsolate lyrics like, “You taught me nothing/ I owe you nothing / How could I forget you / When there’s nothing to forget?” Folds’ personal life has always been influential in his songwriting, and So There as a whole is no different—but he’s always been able to spin cynicism into charming, lovable songs.
“Capable of Anything” opens the album with an upbeat tempo, occasional flute flourishes, and a generally motivational vibe, but with more disillusioned lyrics: “You are capable of anything/ but you don’t seem to think that/ you could fly so low or sink so high/ that you could ever love again or even try/ that you could steal, or cheat, or kill, or lie/ but you might.” “F10-D-A” takes a lighter turn, playfully creating sexual innuendos by stringing together music notes. The album as a whole is a fun listen— Folds once again delivers his traditional pop sound, weaved expertly with orchestral sounds. Rounding So There out is the three-movement “Concerto for Piano and Orchestra” that Folds recorded with the Nashville Symphony.
These tracks certainly display classical finesse, but feel just slightly out of place tacked on after the first section of the album. With this album, Folds hopes for listeners “Just to be moved and to think. You can be who you are and say what you feel, and it’s going to be okay.” So there.
Beirut: “No No No” Katey Robinson Contributor Zach Condon and Beirut recently released “No No No,” the band’s first new album in four years. ‘Ethnomusicological interests and motley folk orchestras’ have always played an important part in the group’s sound. This album continues that trend with its first two tracks: “Gibraltar” starts the album out excellently, with a fun, toe-tapping beat. Next up is title track “No No No.” The song’s only lyrics are, “Don’t know the first thing about who you are/ My heart is waiting, taken in from the start/ If we don’t go now, we won’t get very far.” The lack of much lyricism in this track doesn’t detract from its appeal—“No No No” is one of the album’s standouts. The album takes a turn toward slower tempos with “At Once” and “As Needed”— the former melancholy and thought-provoking, and the latter a solely instrumental piece. “Perth” picks the tempo up again and is another of the album’s highlights. Some tracks—“August Holland,” “Pacheco” and “So Allowed” — aren’t particularly memorable as individual tracks, but their mellow sounds fit in well with the rest of the album.
Critics have called “No No No” less adventurous for Beirut than albums like March of the Zapotec or “The Rip Tide.” While this album is perhaps not quite as vibrant and has a more stripped down feel than previous albums, it’s still a really nice listen. Condon said that he struggled to continue writing songs after the success of Beirut’s last album. “I’d be coming home and staring at these instrumentals and feeling like I had no ideas left, and every time I did have an idea, I felt like I was just retreading The Rip Tide over and over again sonically, just totally lost,” Condon said. With “No No No,” Beirut has managed to successfully incorporate plenty of new ideas. The move away from heavy instrumentals in some songs is refreshing, but the Balkan sound so unique to Beirut still presides in just-right doses throughout the album. The characteristic instrumentals and vocals that brought the band to fame are still there, just toned down a bit. The album may not go down in critics’ books as the band’s greatest, but it’s a solidly good one.

Family is not always in the blood Troy Galyon An Experiment in Happiness
I spent this past Labor Day weekend with my family. It was an incredible time because my grandparents picked me up, and we drove to North Carolina to my mom’s house and met her and my aunt and uncle from Canada. The whole family was together. We celebrated my uncle’s birthday as well as the company of one another. When my family gathers, it is a celebration no matter the occasion. The older I get, the more I treasure the time I get with my family. While being around them I’ve learned that family is much more than the people who share blood with you. It is the memories of childhood, swimming with Dad, sleeping on Papa’s lap and running around school while Mom worked. The memories that I have and the memories that I continue to make with my family help me realize that having them has changed my life and made me into the person I am today. I questioned myself this weekend as to what the definition of family really is for me, and I think that I have finally figured it out. It is fitting for almost everyone, even those that have not had the great memories that I have or the relatives providing them support in their endeavors. The word family symbolizes the person or group of people with whom I can share anything and everything. For my entire life, I have had people that are not related to me who I call family. Growing up, I made three friends that I still have today, and we are

there for each other whenever needed. When we all come together, it seems as if we never parted ways. We have shared in joys and tragedies alike, from graduation to the deaths of relatives. The four of us will be family for as long as we live. Although a different type of family from those related to me, I consider
5
these friends as close to me as anyone in my life. While abroad, I discovered how easy it is to find and create family anywhere I go. The people that we care for, the people that we love, that is our family. I created a family while I was in London. When I returned to the states, I still had that family and I will have them in my life forever. The great thing about family is we can never get rid of them. Some would say that is the problem with family, but I look at it as a group of people holding me accountable while being supportive no matter what I choose to do with my life. Whether it is my relatives, my childhood friends or my comparatively new best friends, a family that loves me and wants only to see me be successful and happy always surrounds me. Everyone can find this type of family. We can all discover a person we can call family. There is always a challenge presented within these columns, and this week is no different. Find that person to call family. It will take time, patience, love and trust. Family is not easy to find, but once found it is impossible to lose. I know that it can be done, and I know the rewarding feelings that come along with it. Everyone deserves to have someone they can call family. Be that for someone. Be family.

Great skates, full hearts—can’t lose Kimberly Bress Real World Problem Solving
There’s a difference between wiping the slate clean and getting a second chance. When you wipe the slate clean, you start over. Your past circumstances are erased, and you return to square one, without prior transgressions to be judged by or negative expectations to overcome. It’s a total overhaul and a whole-hearted change. In contrast, getting a second chance means that the evidence of your shortcomings still exists. Instead of forgetting about your failure, it becomes a part of who you are. Your mistakes may not define you, but it changes how you will approach the future. Problem solving requires a mixture of these two types of forgiveness. Sometimes innovators create things that are entirely unique, starting with nothing more than an empty slate and personal genius. Others find resource in the past, giving ideas a second chance by repurposing them. However, the best kinds of problem solvers are the ones who can find a way to do both. RUFFBOARDS, a longboard design and manufacturing company based in Austria, is creating industrial, creative and social change by doing just that. In 2011, skateboarders Melanie Ruff and Simone Melda became curious about the details of longboard design and production. Wanting to be sure that their boards were fairly manufactured, the two women began researching; however, their long excavation for information turned up little more than evaded ques-
tions and unsatisfactory answers. It became apparent that no one knew, or cared to admit, how the boards were being made. Disturbed by this lack of transparency, Ruff and Melda set forth to create a fair longboard design and manufacturing company. Out of their passion for ethics and skating, RUFFBOARDS was born. Ruff and Melda founded their company on three essential objectives. Their longboards had to skate perfectly, be made of environmentally friendly material and be created with socially fair production methods. The duo spent two years addressing their first objective, focusing on the unique design and calculated shape, both of which are essential for developing high-quality longboards. On their search for fair-trade materials, they discovered that used snowboards could be upcycled to create beautifully functional decks. Finally, in 2013, after years of intensively building, testing and reworking their designs, the first RUFFBOARDS were ready to be produced. For a niche business like custom longboard creation, outsourcing production is arduous. However, Ruff and Melda wanted to create a long-term relationship with an external workshop in order to expedite the process. Their search led them to New Start, a carpentry shop in Vienna, which trains ex-prisoners in the art of carpentry, woodworking and other fine trades. Through their partnership with New Start, RUFFBOARD integrates marginalized groups into
its manufacturing process, while raising awareness about their condition and supporting their rehabilitation and advancement. For them, a RUFFBOARD isn’t just a longboard—it’s a second chance. RUFFBOARD has reinvented the process of designing and manufacturing longboards. The business of using material upcycling and skilled laborers to create top-of-the-line longboards is a highly integrative solution. Yet, real innovation is more than just making something novel. It provokes new perspectives and promotes consciousness of environment, society and self. Innovation encourages others to consider how they can, in small ways (like choosing a fairly made longboard), create positive social transformation. Melanie Ruff and Simone Melda challenged the process of longboard design and production. As a result, they’ve created a product that is more than just wood and wheels. The RUFFBOARD mission is an important lesson to us all. Pursue your passions, and leverage your creativity. Design for quality, and work with empathy. But most importantly, create clean slates and provide second chances. For more information on RUFFBOARDS, visit http://www.ruffboards.com/. Kimberly Bress is a sophomore in neuroscience.

‘Dam breaks’ as Vols bury Belmont in 8-0 home win David Bradford Contributor Boomsday might have been last Sunday, but the Soccer Vols have revived the fireworks one more time. Tennessee dominated Belmont 8-0, scoring the most goals in a game since since it scored eight goals against UT-Chattanooga in September. Early in the match, nobody could have predicted the onslaught that would transpire. In the first 18 minutes, the Volunteers had only two shots, but after junior Amy Neal scored the first goal of the game, and her third overall of the season, off of a deflection, the Volunteers offense found their rhythm. However, head coach Brian Pensky knew this team would eventually find it. “I use this phrase a little bit,� Pensky said. “Waiting for the dam to break; and certainly the dam broke today.� The Volunteers began the second period
determined to put Belmont away, as junior Cali Hutson scored just 30 seconds into the period. The Vols then scored three goals in a threeminute span later in the half. The Volunteers offense was dominating in its efficiency and balance. Seven different players scored goals, with freshman Danielle Marcano being the only Vol to record multiple goals. They are the first two goals of her career. “It’s great. I’m really excited,� Marcano said. In a game that features eight goals, the offense is the primary focus, but the defense also made sure there was no chance of a Belmont comeback. After allowing seven shots in the first half, the Volunteer defense clamped down in the second half and allowed only one shot; a shot that came after the game was well out of hand. With the win, the Volunteers have now won four straight games and still have yet to lose one (5-0-3). With the loss, Belmont falls to 1-4-1. The Volunteers face Auburn in their next game, which will be played at Regal Soccer Stadium this Sunday at 1 p.m. EST.

Vols miss out on signature win, gain another heartbreak Jonathan Toye
Sports Editor The game abruptly ended when Zack Sanchez intercepted Josh Dobbs’ pass in double overtime. Oklahoma players swarmed the field in sudden euphoria. Boomer Sooner chants rang throughout Neyland Stadium. Eric Striker had the last laugh. This wasn’t how it was supposed to end for No. 23 Tennessee. It was supposed to be a statement game for the Vols, a proclamation that the Vols were finally ready to return to national prominence. Instead, Oklahoma rallied to win 31-24, becoming the next team to hand the Vols a heartbreaking loss. Once again, the Vols watched another team celebrate on their home field. “There is no more awful feeling than (watching) that,” Tennessee wide receiver Josh Smith said, who led the Vols in receiving with four receptions for 56 yards. “I mean this is our backyard and you don’t come in here and beat us and party like that. “That just hurts.” Smith wasn’t the only somber person in postgame media availability. Tennessee Head Coach Butch Jones’ postgame press conference only lasted seven minutes. Players also gave brief
answers to questions. It was because they knew one painful fact: that game was Tennessee’s to lose. And the Vols lost it. Prospects for a big win were sunny in the first half. Dobbs faked a handoff to Jalen Hurd and strolled in for a four-yard touchdown for a 17-0 Tennessee lead with 12:14 left in the second quarter. Oklahoma (2-0) only had 50 yards at that point. Neyland Stadium was rocking, breaking the record for most decibels recorded in the stadium. Then, the offense went in neutral in the second half and the defense stopped making plays. “I am very, very proud of the players,” Jones said. “But again in critical downs and in critical moments in the game, we came up a little bit short.” The theme of falling short arose on Tennessee’s first drive. The Vols advanced the ball to the Sooners’ one-yard line on their opening possession after Todd Kelly Jr. intercepted Sooner quarterback Baker Mayfield at midfield. Alvin Kamara, however, couldn’t punch it in on third-and-goal. Jones elected not to go for it on fourth-andgoal, drawing some groans from the crowd. “It’s a field position game at that point and we needed points,” Dobbs said. “Coach made the right decision given the situation.”
It was just another play that came back to haunt the Vols. Tennessee had five drives in second half holding a 17-3 lead. A touchdown, or even a field goal, might have put the game out of reach. Tennessee (1-1) gained 53 yards on the five drives, whiffing on the chance to deliver a backbreaking score. “It was just a lack of execution,” Dobbs said. “They made adjustments like any good defense is going to do.” Oklahoma’s offense also made adjustments. An anemic Sooners offense in the third could not be stopped in the fourth. The Sooners had the ball for 11:27 minutes in the final quarter and scored two touchdowns to send the game to overtime. The Vols missed at least two attempts to sack Mayfield. On the first attempt, Mayfield eluded tacklers, giving his tight end Mark Andrews enough time to draw a holding penalty to prolong the drive. On the Sooners final possession in regulation, Mayfield again avoided his would-be sackers on a third down, rolled to his right, and tossed a great strike to Sterling Shepard to the Vols’ 29-yard line. Get a sack, and Oklahoma is facing for 4thand-long. But the Vols failed both times and Mayfield made them pay. “He’s shifty,” Vols defensive end Derek

Barnett said. “We’ve got to stay on our quarterback points. He ran the offense well. “Credit to him and his team.” The Vols offense rebounded in the first overtime with Hurd rushing for an eight-yard touchdown, giving the defense the chance to atone for the two fourth quarter touchdowns and salvage the signature win. Neither happened. Mayfield scored from a yard out on a fourth-and-goal in the first overtime and hit Shepard on a crossing route for an 18-yard score in the second overtime, setting the scene for Dobbs’ game-ending interception. The final result: another heartbreaking loss for Tennessee. The signature win will have to wait. “You have to learn from it,” Jones said of the end of the game. It is natural to wonder whether Tennessee football has learned enough lessons of late. But the Vols know they can’t let the loss derail them. “We are holding our heads high,” Smith said. “We are not going to let this define our season and we are not going to just wallow in this. We are going to pick it up tomorrow. We’ve got a long season ahead of us. “We are not going to let this dictate what we are going to do.”

GRADING THE VOLS Daily Beacon Assistant Sports Editor Taylor White covered the Oklahoma matchup and assessed grades based on Saturday’s performance.
Quarterbacks
Dobbs got off to a quick start, throwing for one touchdown and rushing for another in the first half. That pace slowed as the game progressed, however, and the junior finished just 13-of-31 with 125 passing yards. Oklahoma amped up the pressure in the second half, and Dobbs didn’t have a lot of time to throw. When he did have time, though, he struggled to consistently find his receivers. (This might be the first C he’s ever received).

Running Backs Jalen Hurd was the lone bright spot for the Vols’ offense in the second
half, running for 126 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries. A costly fumble moved Tennessee out of field goal range in the third quarter, however. Alvin Kamara ran for just four yards on four carries, and the unit failed to help alleviate some of the pressure Dobbs was facing in the passing game.

FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 “I thought (field position) really hurt us in the second half,” Jones said. “We had a relatively short field to go a number of times, and we couldn’t move the football and even come away with three points. That hurts you. In a game like this, you have to take advantage of your field position.” While the defense showed improvement in the first three quarters, the final quarter saw it falter. Trailing by 14 points with 10 minutes to go, the Sooners rattled off a 14-play, 80-yard drive to close the gap, helped by two third down defensive holding calls on sophomore linebacker Colton Jumper. The Tennessee offense went backwards on the next drive, before Oklahoma evened the score on a 13-play, 60-yard drive. A key play of the drive was a questionable pass interference call on junior defensive back Malik Foreman, on which Jones said “the ball hit the back wall,” therefore making the pass uncatchable. “Later in the game, we just stopped being a disciplined defense,” junior linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin said. “We gave them a lot of penalty yards, had them stopped a couple of times and just let them make a play. We just got to work to stop them and get off the field.” Reeves-Maybin, who finished with 21 total tackles, insisted that the defense didn’t wear down at the end, despite Oklahoma controlling the ball for over 11 minutes of the 15-minute fourth quarter. That “undisciplined” defense carried over into the two overtime periods, as the Sooners were able to score two touchdowns on eight
plays. The winning touchdown came as Mayfield found a wide open Shepard for an 18-yard score after Malik Foreman fell in coverage. The Tennessee offense had one more chance to tie the game, but a costly third down false start by redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Brett Kendrick put the Vols behind the chains. Junior quarterback Josh Dobbs was then picked off by redshirt junior cornerback Zack Sanchez to seal the game. “It was a flood concept,” Dobbs said of the pick. “Marquez (North) had man-to-man, I was just trying to give him a chance. On thirdand-long, we needed to get some yards back to make it a manageable fourth down and give us a shot.” After jumping out to 17-3 halftime lead, the Tennessee offense came to a halt. Jalen Hurd carried the ball 24 times for 106 yards, but his teammates struggled to get into any kind of rhythm. Dobbs finished 13-of-31 for 125 yards on the game. The Sooners brought more pressure at the line after the break, and Tennessee failed to adjust. “They started sending blitzes a lot more,” senior offensive lineman Kyler Kerbyson said. “They started stemming the front some, and sending guys across the line. It did kind of mess up some of our blocks and the scheme that we’re running. They were able to take advantage of it.” While Tennessee blew a 17-point lead, the Vols insist that this game won’t have an impact on the rest of their season. “This one game doesn’t tell what our season holds,” sophomore defensive end Derek Barnett said. “We can either be sad, or we can bounce back on Monday.”
Smith led this unit with 56 yards and Josh Malone threw in 19 Wide Receivers Josh yards and a touchdown of his own. For the most part, though, this
C-
group failed to get separation from the Sooner defensive backs. Pig Howard and Marquez North had just one catch each, and Von Pearson didn’t record a single catch.
Offensive Line
The line held strong early, opening lanes for Hurd and giving Dobbs time to make throws. After the half, Oklahoma amped up the pressure, however, and the line failed to pick up the pressure. Complex blitzes led to confusion up front, and Dobbs had little time to throw as a result.

The defensive line placed pressure on Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield all game; however, the unit failed to sack Mayfield at crucial times in the fourth quarter, allowing the Sooners to extend drives.
Jalen Reeves-Maybin was seemingly everywhere on the field, recording 21 tackles, a forced fumble and a sack. Colton Jumper was another story, however. The sophomore had four tackles, but missed several more than he made. He was also flagged for two defensive holding calls that led to Sooner first downs.
After surrendering 433 passing yards to Bowling Green, the Vols secondary looked much improved on Saturday, holding Oklahoma to only 187 yards. However, the Vols couldn’t contain Sterling Shepard on the final possession and overtime, allowing Shepard to score the game winning touchdown.
Special Teams Trevor Daniel continued his solid punting, booming nine punts for an
B+
average of 50 yards. Aaron Medley was 1-of-2 on field goals with his one miss coming from 48 yards. Cam Sutton and Evan Berry were decent in the return game in limited opportunities.
Tennessee recorded a 2.4 GPA for week two, giving the team a cumulative GPA of 2.6 for the season.
