Falling short (again) Worley’s comeback bid not enough as Georgia spurns Vols, 35-32 Troy Provost-Heron

ATHENS, Ga. – For a moment, the injury seemed worse than it was.

After Justin Worley left with a numb right elbow and was replaced by sophomore quarterback Nathan Peterman with just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter, it seemed as if Tennessee’s chances of an upset over No. 12 Georgia had slipped away.

But with 9:22 remaining in the game, the senior signal caller returned from the Volunteers’ locker room and joined the offensive huddle with UT trailing 28-17.

And just like a Hollywood blockbuster, Worley played the part of the catalyst, leading the Vols and putting them in a position to win before falling short in a 35-32 loss in Athens on Saturday. “(Worley) was gritty,” second-year head coach Butch Jones said. “He was confident. He’s very prideful and wants to win. He wants to do anything he can to

we all take pride in.

-Justin Worley lead his team to victory. I’m really proud of his grit and his toughness.

“He was itching to get back, and I think that speaks volumes to his competitive character.”

And when it seemed the contest was slipping away from them, Worley’s competitive character shined and kept the Vols in it.

Following Todd Gurley’s 51-yard touchdown that gave the Bulldogs their 28-17 lead, the Rock Hill, South Carolina, native drove UT 52 yards in four plays – finding Alton “Pig” Howard for a 31-yard strike – to bring the Vols within three

after successfully converting a two-point conversion to freshman tight end Daniel Helm.

The Vols defense then followed in their team leader’s footsteps, forcing a Georgia punt that gave UT the ball on its own 1-yard line with a chance to tie or take the lead.

Two plays later, though, disaster struck as a Worley-Jalen Hurd handoff went awry, resulting in a Bulldog defensive touchdown that extended the lead back to 10 with 4:27 left.

Tom Anderson is a father, campus worker and caretaker to two flying squirrels he found in his backyard.

Most importantly, he is an activist.

“It’s giving voice to the voiceless,” Anderson said. “And it’s empowering those people who are voiceless, or feel like they’re voiceless, who feel like they can’t speak up for fear of retribution or losing their job.”

As a buyer in the Central Supply Warehouse for UT Facilities Services and local president of United Campus Workers, Tom has been advocating for the rights of campus workers since August 2001.

After graduating from Maryville College with a degree in history, Anderson immediately began looking for work. He realized that there were not many job openings for historians and decided to apply his skills elsewhere.

After a job in the warehouse at UT opened up, Anderson jumped at the opportunity. The job offered stability and proximity to the city he’s grown to love.

“The money’s not great, but the people that I work with are great,” Anderson said. “Benefits are real good and hard to come by.”

After starting as a heavy lifter in the warehouse, Anderson was quickly promoted to warehouse senior. A couple of promotions later, he landed his current role. After a 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. workday, Anderson either goes home to his wife and two sons or to the union office, where he works twice a week until 9 p.m.

SGA takes up crusade against tuition hikes McCord Pagan Social Media Editor

This year, UT began charging the highest in-state tuition of any public SEC school.

In response, the Student Government Association is preparing to launch a campaign to lobby the state legislature to allocate more money for higher education.

SGA took up the initiative at the request of top administration officials. This currently unnamed campaign will hopefully prevent tuition hikes similar to the 6 percent increase passed this summer.

“We’re going to start encouraging people to reach out to their legislators in the coming months,” said Daniel Richter, SGA chief of staff and senior in business

analytics and statistics. “Their representatives are the ones that are in charge of all this.”

As the campaign starts to take shape, Richter hopes students will become more familiar with the mechanisms behind tuition increases and the consequences of depleting state funding.

The Tennessee 2015 fiscal year budget cut funding from UT and other public post-secondary schools following an unexpected $300 million deficit. While the majority of UT’s revenue now comes from tuition, the school still depends on state funding.

At a faculty senate meeting on Sept. 15, William F. Fox of the Center for Business and Economic Research said that while Tennessee has rebounded from the 200809 financial crisis, the state has not yet

seen a subsequent increase in tax revenue.

“The only state that collects a lower share of its economy in taxes than Tennessee is South Dakota,” Fox said.

“It will be a challenge to come up with revenue for higher education within the budget as it’s structured right now.”

The portion of the state economy that is taxed has shrunk to nearly one-third in 2012, down from nearly two-thirds in 1979. Unfortunately for UT, higher education is much lower on the state’s budget priorities compared to K-12 education and health care.

“If you have to tighten state government, there’s not much money to get from anyplace but higher education and TennCare, and TennCare can’t be cut,” Fox said.

Loud music blared. Intricate, vivid art lined the walls. A small white room filled to the brim with people, all there for one particular reason: to peruse the artwork of UT student artists Ian Cato and Sterling GollerBrown.

The pair opened their gallery show “Boomslang” Friday night at Gallery 1010, displaying their many oil, paint and enamel pieces in addition to two large sculptures.

Olivia Bradley, senior double majoring in psychology and religious studies, stopped by to support her friends’ venture.

Of the many showcased pieces, Bradley’s favorite was GollerBrown’s “Tattoo Removal.”

“The colors are very calming,” Bradley said, “but when I look at it, there is still a lot of chaotic story to it.”

Inspired by unconventional sexual actions, “Tattoo Removal,” and his large painting “Kink” were Goller-Brown’s most popular pieces of the evening. Cato showed a creation of steel rod, twine and foam entitled “Get in This Endless Getaway” as well as a vibrant painting inspired by his travels abroad. He specifically cited seeing the musical group Flying Lotus as an influence as what he described as his “masterpiece.”

Kate Turnbull, a recent UT graduate in art, commented on the intricacy of the piece.

“I like it because it’s a bit more odd,” Turnball said. “You have to think about it a bit more.”

CAMPUS NEWS BUDGET continued from Page 1 Without guaranteed support from the state, Richter said he is worried UT will be forced to continue raising tuition until the school becomes inaccessible to most students. If state funding continues to decrease, Richter predicts annual tuition could be close to $20,000 or $30,000 by 2020.

“It’s something that I hope never happens and I don’t think the UT administration will let it happen,” Richter said, “but it’s still something that’s entirely possible with a

ANDERSON continued from Page 1 Since he was elected local president of United Campus Workers in 2008, Anderson has fought for a living wage, funding for higher education and the fair treatment of campus workers.

“It’s personal for me, and I think it is for anyone who calls themselves an activist,” he said. “When someone is mistreated at work, I take it personally. It makes me very angry when someone is harassed at work.”

Some of the United Campus Workers’ most significant achievements have come from some of the group’s most basic concerns, Anderson said.

Created in 1999 in partnership with the student organization that is now the Progressive Student Alliance, United Campus Workers has succeeded in establishing an equal dollar raise for workers, paying Agriculture Extension workers for overtime and championing other small improvements, like providing housekeeping staff with latex gloves.

lack of state funding.”

When state funding is strong, the Board of Trustees typically aims for a modest 2 to 3 percent annual tuition increase. In response to this year’s budget, the Board approved a 6 percent increase for most students to accommodate the loss in revenue.

As the funding issue is currently one of the primary concerns for UT students, Richter said SGA had to take a stand.

“You can’t really have an SGA if you are alienating part of your student base,” he said. “It’s important for the student government, but it’s more important for the student body in general.”

Anderson said. “Those wins, that’s the work that I’m most proud of.

“That’s what keeps me going.”

Secretaries, adjunct professors, housekeepers, warehouse staff and custodians; to Anderson, they are all fighting for the same rights.

“To say labor with a capital ‘L’ carries a certain picture that everyone has,” he said. “One of the things that we at UCW challenge is the image of what labor is.”

Despite the common stigma surrounding physical labor, Anderson is proud of the work he does as a campus worker.

“It’s something that doesn’t make the headlines,” he said, “but it’s cool to look around and know that I supplied a chiller on a roof that cools a building, or electrical wiring or the clocks on the walls in a classroom.”

Anderson said his opinionated nature and ability to work well with people give him the unique opportunity to help those who aren’t at liberty to help themselves.

“I read once that one should always understand that no one is ever silent, although many are never heard,” he said.

“And that’s something I take to heart.”

Kenton Yeager, associate professor, teaches students the power of successful lighting in theatre.

Professor specializes in theatre lights, meditation Hannah Marley Contributor

“Light is magic.”

Kenton Yeager mused on the importance of light Friday morning while he sat in his carefully decorated office with vintage lighting panels, antique cameras and lighting design plans for two new plays.

“I’m fascinated by the idea that we don’t see an object, we see light coming off of an object,” Yeager said. “If I can control the light, I can control what the object looks like and, subsequently, the emotional impact of that object.”

Yeager’s career in lighting design began early in his undergraduate studies at Pennsylvania State University in the 70s. He is now the only designer in the world to have his work featured in every international World Stage Design competition to date.

Yeager is not only interested in physical light as perceived by the human eye, but also by the light he sees in his students as young composers. His love for teaching stems from his desire to watch his students grow as both artists and lighting designers.

“I like to see the light bulb go off,” he said.

Head of the Masters Program in Entertainment Lighting Design and Technology, Yeager hopes to inspire his students to develop their skills as independent artists through individualized, hands-on experience.

To better demonstrate lighting design concepts to his students, Yeager became a “reluctant entrepreneur” and founded his own business known as Yeagerlabs. Earning him the University of Tennessee Award for Excellence in the Humanities, Yeagerlabs produces miniature theaters that are used to teach large-scale design concepts in a more accessible way.

“It’s important for me to have them get as much experience as possible,” Yeager said. “My goal is to not have my fingerprints all over my students. When they graduate, I want them to be individualized artists, not Kenton clones.”

Yeager’s students have gone on to work with lighting design in such places as New York, China, Vietnam, Dubai and India, creating designs for everything from theaters and architecture to casinos and theme parks.

“We’re trying to train a global artist who creates things with light,” he said.

An integral part of becoming that global artist, Yeager said, is practicing mindfulness and meditation in order to unlock the “creative mind.”

He stated that meditating is not about “clearing the mind,” but recognizing thoughts and emotions to use creatively rather than being negatively affected by them.

“If you can see the emotions instead of being driven by them, (they) are valuable,” Yeager said.

“I can see the emotion, but it does not consume me, so I can mind that emotion as an artist in order to be able to say, ‘How might I replicate that on stage?’”

Yeager works for the American Meditation Society as the director of teacher training. On campus, he promotes the practice by helping to found the Mindfulness and Meditation Club as well as teaching a freshman honors course on meditation.

Throughout each of his classes, plays and meditation practices, Yeager wears a jade pendant with a Chinese coin.

“The moment I put it on, it made me realize how much abundance and luck I have in my life,” he said. “Every morning when I put it on, it is an acknowledgement of the abundance in my life.”

Under construction, since 1794 The Workshop by

Thomas Carpenter

Construction at UT– even mentioning these words will have any student in an endless tirade about how completely terrible it is. I mean, it really is everywhere.

Not even The Strip is safe anymore.

The UT administration may say this is a “transitionary period,” but we all know the truth; this is never going to end. It was here before us, and it will remain long after we are gone for future generations to continue the tradition of complaining about it.

I’m not criticizing the ever-present grumblings of students as they walk past the piles of mangled steel and concrete; they are certainly warranted. What I am saying is if it’s going to be here, we might as well just accept it, even embrace it.

Construction is like Lane Kiffin; it’s an eyesore and everybody hates it. Our school always seems to end up on the Top 10 ugliest campuses every year, and construction is certainly a large contributor to that.

This isn’t a small issue. The aesthetic appeal of a campus is always a factor for prospective students and even faculty.

Thankfully, UT hasn’t been too negatively affected in this area. We’ve seen significant improvements in every new freshman class, and our faculty has always been top tier.

It would seem construction is a catch-22; the only way to make our campus nicer is to make it worse first. The dilemma students are facing is really not that we have to deal with the construction, but that we won’t be here to enjoy any of the spaces being built.

We had to sit through the construction of Fred Brown, but it’s mostly freshman that are living there. The new student union won’t be completely finished until 2017, so only current sophomores and future classes will see it. This is a very valid concern among students.

But we’re not the first. Our class is currently enjoying the buildings that were once the lamentation of previous generations. It’s a vicious cycle, but it’s one that’s not going away anytime soon.

And just when you thought the construction couldn’t get any more annoying, the administration has recently come out with a mandatory meal plan because they can’t afford to pay for any of their proposed dining projects. Again, it seems as if the only option is to pay for things that won’t come to fruition until after we’ve gone and graduated.

However, like students have done before us, we are utilizing the resources that past generations have paid for. And there is an upside: as campus improves, so will the reputation of the school. This means your degree will be worth even more years after you graduate.

So we’re not unlucky, we’re just part of a long line of students paying for the campus of tomorrow. And really, can’t we all agree that campus is a lot better than it was in 1794?

New life: a historic façade Brick

by Brick by

Tor Voorhees If I were to ask a random UT student where the Glocker Business Administration Building was, nine out of 10 would have no idea.

This comes as no surprise when asking about historical complexes that were completely razed to make way for new structures (anyone heard of Science Hall?). But oddly enough, the regal threshold of Glocker’s entrance is crossed by thousands of university alumni, students, faculty and staff every day.

At this point, you may be thinking that Glocker is merely an obscure building, one that might reside in the shadow of Neyland Stadium forever separated from the direct view of the student body. While that’s a good theory, the truth is that the remaining bits of Glocker are actually right across the street from Hodges Library.

But doesn’t Haslam Business Building sit at that intersection? Yes, but part of HBB is actually Glocker.

The Glocker Business Administration

architectural style, but also strove to emulate the state-of-the-art complex that the original building had been nearly seventy years before. In the 21st century, this meant advanced computer enabled classrooms and high-definition televisions to aid in long distance learning capabilities.

Tom Ladd, associate dean of research and technology, said at the time, “No one rode a horse that could travel on an interstate highway -- the technology of the past cannot deal with the international scope of today’s business world.”

On that corner across from Hodges Library, we find only a tiny piece of the original Glocker structure remaining. In its place, we find a new building encompassing the same outstanding spirit and innovation that Glocker had decades before.

Through the Haslam family’s extreme generosity, an aging structure was returned to a state far beyond its original glory, giving it the chance to serve the University of Tennessee yet again. Even though we now refer to the complex as the Haslam Business Building, students should never forget the proud origins of that regal façade.

Climate change is not a unicorn Life Under the Microscope by

Kenna Rewcastle Here’s a short list of things you can choose whether or not to believe in: Santa Claus, God, love at first sight and unicorns.

What defines these as belief issues is that there is no factual evidence arguing for their existence. Notice that climate change did not make this list. Why, you ask? Because climate change is a discussion of factual evidence, not something you can buy into on a whim.

Climate change is happening right now, and it has been for the entirety of our planet’s existence, as evidenced by Antarctic ice cores. I’ll give you a crash course in climatology to help you better understand the past 800,000 years.

In the early 20th century, a man named Milutin Milankovitch described several cyclical changes in the Earth’s relationship to the sun: specifically the tilt of the Earth’s axis, the shape of Earth’s orbit around the sun and the timing of the planet’s solar solstices and equinoxes. As these various parameters change, it affects the amount of energy the planet receives at particular times. The end result is cyclical climate change.

These cycles last 100,000 years on aver-

Timtation Creation • Timothy Brunson

EDITORIAL

Building, the first structure on campus dedicated solely to the business college, opened in 1952. Its namesake, Theodore Glocker, headed the university’s School of Commerce upon its creation in 1914. Jim Haslam, who graduated just before the building’s opening, later recollected that the Glocker was “state of the art” and that he “thought it was the finest building on campus.”

However, like all buildings on UT’s campus, the once advanced structure eventually fell behind the rest of the university.

A lack of useful modern technology, such as projectors and central heating and air conditioning, became an incredible obstacle to the building. As Anne Mayhew recounted in a 2004 interview with The Daily Beacon, “Often, one had to have windows open, but then the noise from the street right outside made teaching very challenging.” Glocker was inevitably shuttered to students in 2004.

The building’s existence at the university effectively ended when the entire original complex, save the front façade, was demolished in November of 2005. The massive Haslam Business Building quickly rose in the footprint of the historic structure. The new building adopted much of the original architecture used in the Glocker complex, even utilizing the very same front façade.

What resulted was a building that not only physically represented Glocker in its

age. Glacial periods, or the colder ‘ice ages’ last approximately 85,000 to 90,000 years of that cycle. The warmer periods in between, called interglacial periods, are much shorter; lasting anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 years. We’re currently in the tail end of an interglacial, dubbed the Holocene.

Having described a widely accepted model of climate change that has operated long before humans ever evolved, you may ask what makes current climate change different?

Well, several things. First, during periods of global warming in past interglacial periods, temperature has initially risen in response to rising carbon dioxide emissions.

Today, due to anthropogenic carbon emissions, this relationship has been reversed— rising temperature is lagging behind the rising atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Secondly, we’re moving in the wrong direction. We’re currently 12,000 years into this interglacial period, almost to the point where our climate should swing back into a colder glacial period. At this point in past interglacials, greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere were declining and the planet was gradually cooling down. Right now, however, the planet is warming while greenhouse gas concentrations are rising.

In short, we’ve opened a whole new can of worms.

So this is it. Climate change is a fact, a consensus that has been verified by 97 percent of scientists who make up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The atmosphere and oceans are

warming. Precipitation regimes are changing, causing drought in some places and floods in others. Ice sheets are melting, the ocean is acidifying and ocean-borne storms are gathering strength, hammering coastal cities with dramatic force.

To ignore this fact is ignorant, cowardly and insulting on several different levels. By acknowledging that we have a problem on our hands, we can act to ward off some of the more drastic effects of climate change.

Yet in the U.S., our general population, especially the politicians that represent us, say they don’t believe in climate change. Not acknowledging climate change means you are scoffing at the efforts of over 400,000 people who came to the streets of New York last weekend for the “People’s Climate March.”

To ignore climate change is to completely undermine the importance of last week’s meeting of 125 political leaders in the UN climate summit, where nations made pledges to alter the planet’s current trajectory towards disaster.

Get your head out of the sand. Climate change is scary, but sitting back and letting this train barrel towards destruction is even scarier. Our strength in this situation lies in our numbers, and as a united front, we can demand action from our leaders and take responsibility for our own future.

EYES ON KNOXVILLE

Good Golly Tamale wheels out unique cuisine Hannah Moulton Copy Editor (@HannahMoulton)

Walk down Market Square during the Saturday Farmers’ Market and you’re sure to see a vintage tricycle pulling a stainless steel cart carrying an unexpected treat – tamales.

Good Golly Tamale, owned and operated by friends Chris Watson and Matt Miller, grew out of the duo’s desire to set up shop on a budget. “It became a cart for practical reasons because we didn’t have money to open a restaurant or to buy a truck,� Miller said.

After acquiring the tricycle and cart, the next step was to decide on the food they would serve. It had to be portable and easy to store.

Miller said the first choice was burritos, but after some digging, they found a connection between Knoxville and tamales. “Back in like the 1800s--actually right down here in the Old City--a couple of warehouses were tamale manufacturers,� Watson said. “There was a history there, and we’re kind of picking up where they left off.�

One hundred years ago, the tamale manufacturers served their tamales “full house� style with a mesa shell stuffed with ground beef and sausage, covered in chili and served with onions and mustard.

Good Golly Tamale doesn’t serve their tamales “full house� style though. Instead they decided to try some recipes of their own like Thai chicken, sweet potato and pulled pork.

They don’t follow strict guidelines for preparing the tamales either, as it’s about feeling things out and following their intuition. “Matt and I would just sit around and try different recipes and tweak them, and we finally settled on what we have now,� Watson said.

The cart has been operating for a little over a year, and Watson said he’s rolled around “tens of thousands� of tamales. On a weekly basis, Watson and Miller roll between 500-700 tamales.

Since Good Golly Tamale uses a cart instead of the typical food truck, the tamales are prepared in a kitchen at Aisle Nine Grocery and stored in the cart. The tamales are wrapped in foil and handed to customers where they can prepare their tamale with the hot sauce of their choosing. “It’s nice because it’s quicker for people, instead of like, you know, ordering a hamburger somewhere,� Watson said. “You’re not going to have to wait 10 minutes. It’s like ‘Oh, we have them hot and ready!’ and you still have options.�

Watson said the response to the cart has been extremely positive. Locals and visitors alike seem to love the taste and exotic flare of the tamales. “(A customer from Mexico) was like ‘Alright, I’m a little skeptical, like tamales in

Knoxville by these two white guys,’ but she was like ‘They’re really good’ and they tasted authentic to her,� Watson said.

Good Golly Tamale stresses the importance of fresh, local and organic ingredients. The pork and beef come from two separate organic farms: JEM Farm and Strong Stock Farm. The mesa, which is the main ingredient in the shell of the tamale, is non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) corn, something Watson and Miller felt was important in the creation of the tamales.

Good Golly Tamale isn’t restricted to Market Square. The duo can be found serving tamales with black bean soup and salsa at Aisle Nine on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The cart also makes trips to Hops and Hollers on Monday nights in addition to the Market Square Farmers’ Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Tuesdays, Watson and Miller sell their pre-packaged tamales to Holly’s Corner, where they are served for lunch. They have also begun to cater weddings and other special events.

Despite the success of their cart though, the pair still has bigger plans for the future. “In the future, I would love for it to eventually become a brick and mortar,� Miller said, Good Golly Tamale serves tamales from a heater attached to a tricycle.

Worley cements UT legacy with ‘gritty’ performance

Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB)

most memorable moment of his career.

Instead of letting his team hang their heads after Jalen Hurd suffered a PigHowardesque fumble that gifted Georgia seven points and seemingly the game, Worley assembled the troops, and under his command – and with his arm – he drove the Vols down the field for a score.

And he did it with a bangedup arm, despite the fact that a hint of fear had set into his mind that the injury could potentially be serious, like the one that kept him out of the Vols’ final four contests last season.

“I was hoping and praying it wasn’t another major injury,” Worley said. “Thankfully, it wasn’t.”

The Vols are thankful, too.

Yes, he did all of this in a losing effort, but what he accomplished in Athens means more to UT than any win over the Bulldogs could – even if Worley and the Vols would disagree.

By persevering when his team needed him most, Worley inspired the entirety of Tennessee’s roster to play winning football despite taking a 35-32 loss straight to the chin.

In doing so, he garnered respect from everyone lucky enough to witness his performance.

It seems the Vols’ man under center has nothing left to prove.

If he never won another game at UT, it wouldn’t make a difference. He’s already left his mark – beautifully.

With this young batch of players watching his every move, Worley displayed talent, resolve and most importantly, a passion to win.

For a group of kids who are still learning the ropes of college football, his example may prove to be invaluable as secondyear head coach Butch Jones attempts to infuse “Tennessee Toughness” into this team and the others that follow in its footsteps.

And with his “gritty” performance, Worley has picked himself off the turf to become the torchbearer for the future image of the Jones’ Tennessee Volunteer football program.

ATHENS, Ga. – With all eyes fixed on him, Justin Worley proved, once again, that he has nothing left to prove.

One year ago, the Volunteers’ signal caller staked his first legitimate claim to the starting quarterback position at the University of Tennessee.

When the Georgia Bulldogs came to Neyland Stadium on Oct. 5, 2013, the then-junior played his best game of the season, orchestrating two fourth quarter touchdown drives and giving the Vols an opportunity to pull off the upset.

They didn’t.

Inside UGA’s Sanford Stadium one year later, though, the senior chiseled his name into the storied history book of UT football.

In 2013, Worley stood tall as he matriculated the ball down field late in the game.

On Saturday, he got pummeled behind a shaky offensive line for the second consecutive game.

The vicious beating eventually forced the Vols’ offensive leader to watch from the bench while he sported a large ice pack on his elbow in the third quarter.

Moments later, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Worley and his damaged arm made their way to UT’s locker room to undergo an X-ray, all while the Bulldogs were smelling blood in the water as UT’s offense scrambled without its leader.

But then he did what he felt he needed to do: play.

At the 9:22 mark in the fourth quarter, Worley rejoined the offensive huddle, and not as the same game managing quarterback the Bulldogs saw a year ago.

Instead, he stepped back into the pocket as a confident and Troy Provost-Heron is a potent signal caller who seemed junior in journalism and elecno worse for wear – just as tronic media. He can be reached he had been in the Vols’ first at tprovost@vols.utk.edu. three contests – en route to the

Secondary

Highly touted tailback Jalen Hurd may have eclipsed 100 yards – becoming the first freshman to accomplish that feat since Bryce Brown in 2009 – but a late fumble in his own end zone that ultimately cost the Vols an opportunity to win the game puts a cap on Hurd’s performance.

Couple that with Marlin Lane’s horrible showing and you have a running back group that leaves much to be desired.

With Von Pearson and Josh Smith absent with high ankle sprains, the Vols’ pass-catching depth was tested, and the response was promising. Freshman Josh Malone racked up 43 yards on five catches, and redshirt sophomore Jason Croom hauled in four grabs for 60 yards and a touchdown. The return of Ethan Wolf (five catches, 69 yards) was another positive sign, but UT must get the ball to heralded sophomore Marquez North (three catches, 15 yards) more going forward.

The fact that Worley was forced to miss more than 15 minutes of action after taking several big hits already merited a failing group for this unit. But when you take into consideration that during his short time under center, Peterman also took several shots that could have easily forced the Vols to turn to third-string quarterback Josh Dobbs, it suffices to say that the offensive line needs a lot of work.

Trevarris Saulsberry’s return, Danny O’Brien’s career-high four tackles and Derek Barnett’s eight tackles all served as bright spots for UT’s still relatively young defensive line. But Georgia’s 289 rushing yards proved to be quite detrimental to the Vols’ success on Saturday. Heisman Trophy candidate Todd Gurley was somewhat held in check through three quarters, but the Bulldogs running back ripped off 129 yards in the fourth quarter alone.

A.J. Johnson and Jalen Reeves-Maybin are rapidly becoming one of the most productive linebacking duos in all of college football. The two combined for 27 tackles in Saturday’s contest and did a fairly good job limiting Gurley from amassing a large amount of after contact yards.

Curt Maggitt also chipped in with two sacks.

Sutton each had interceptions, and as a whole, the UT secondary did an excellent job of locking down Hutson Mason and the Bulldogs’ passing attack. On 25 attempts, Mason threw for only 147 yards and just one touchdown connection — it was to a running back as well.

Special Teams

Matt Darr was the standout of the special team unit, booming three punts of 50-plus yards and downing the Bulldogs inside their own 20 on four of his eight punts. Throw in Aaron Medley’s 46-yard field goal on the Vols’ opening drive and a fairly productive day returning kickoffs and you have the best performance from Tennessee’s special team all year.

Week 5 GPA: The Vols earn a football GPA of 2.79 for their performance in a 35-32 loss to Georgia. Cumulative GPA: Through four games, UT holds a cumulative GPA of 2.89, still falling below the necessary 3.0 to get back their HOPE scholarship.

FOOTBALL continued from Page 1 “It was a bad exchange,” said freshman running back Hurd. “I completely take full responsibility and it’s something that won’t happen again.”

Worley, however, wasn’t fazed by the growing deficit and wan-

Justin Worley once again displayed his grit and toughness under center, rebounding from an elbow injury that caused him to miss three drives in the second half. While in the game, the senior signal caller performed admirably, throwing for 264 yards and three touchdowns.

But backup signal caller Nathan Peterman struggled in a pinch as his botched exchange with running back Marlin Lane proved to be a costly turnover.

ing game clock, as he led his offense right back down the field, capping a 7-play, 58-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Marquez North.

“It’s a testament to the guys on this team,” Worley said of the Vols’ resiliency. “We don’t give up and I think we showed that last game (against Oklahoma). This game was little bit closer, but you saw it again.

“I love these guys I’m playing with. Like I said, we don’t give up and that’s something we all take pride in.”

The Vols would never get another opportunity to win the ballgame, though, as Gurley was able to convert on a fourth-andthree – picking it up by inches – that allowed the Bulldogs to run out the rest of the clock.

“It’s a game of inches,” Jones said. “It’s a play here, it’s a play there and it’s a cumulative effect.

They fought. Every individual in this organization really believed

we were going to win. I’m proud of them, but we have to learn from this and continue to move on.”

But if Worley, who finished the day with 264 yards and three touchdowns on 23-of-35 passing, was the Vols’ Superman, than Gurley was their kryptonite.

The junior tailback rushed for 208 yards – the first 200-yard game of his career – and two touchdowns on 28 carries, with 129 of the Heisman candidate’s yards coming in the fourth quarter.

“He’s a bigger guy and he’s got good speed,” Jones said. “He’s one of the top running backs in the country so we had to do a great job of getting him on the ground, and we gave up a lot of points today, so we didn’t do a good enough job.”

Gurley, however, was far from the only running back to have the spotlight shined on them in Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

Hurd, a highly touted five-

star recruit from Hendersonville, Tennessee, had the best game of his young UT career –albeit with the late-game fumble – amassing 138 yards and a touchdown on 27 touches.

“Jalen played a great game,” Jones said. “He gave us everything that he had ... Jalen runs angry. He breaks tackles. He’s doing some great things.”

With its second-consecutive heartbreaking defeat to the Bulldogs, UT is now tasked with shifting its focus to yet another SEC East rival, the Florida Gators. The Vols are honed in on wiping the slate clean as they prepare this week for their next challenge.

“We know we let this one slip away from us, but we can’t leave our season here in Georgia,” sophomore cornerback Cameron Sutton said. “We have a lot of football left this season and we just got to come out and get as many wins as we can.”

SOCCER

Early red card fuels Lady Vols past MSU, 4-0 Jonathan Toye

Staff Writer (@JonathanToye1) After a heartbreaking loss to Alabama on Friday night, the Tennessee women’s soccer team needed a strong start against Mississippi State on Sunday.

And in the 11th minute of Sunday’s contest, the Lady Volunteers were given a golden opportunity to establish that early lead.

As Aaran Parry, a sophomore forward, was racing towards the goal when she was intentionally tripped by Mississippi State’s Kayleigh Henry. Henry was issued a red card and ejected from the contest, giving the Lady Vols an 11-on-10 advantage for the remainder of the game.

It only took Tennessee two minutes to capitalize on this advantage as sophomore forward Anna McClung took a shot in the 13th minute from 18 yards out that hit the inside of the cross bar and deflected into the goal, putting the Lady Vols up 1-0.

The advantage would continue to benefit the Lady Vols throughout the contest as UT

(6-5, 1-2 SEC) rolled past the Bulldogs (3-7, 0-3) 4-0 en route to their first SEC win of the season inside Regal Soccer Stadium on Sunday.

“I thought our pressure in those first few minutes was good, and obviously it led to a game changing red card,” thirdyear head coach Brian Pensky said. “Everything changes when that happens. To be able to get four goals relatively early in the first half ... I am very, very proud of that. I thought our possession was good, our chances were good, and we finished and scored four goals.”

The Lady Vols had a dominant first half performance against an outmatched Mississippi State team, outshooting the Bulldogs 15-0 in the first half and 31-9 for the contest.

“It is much easier to win if you are shooting because that leads to scoring,” McClung said.

“This is may be the first time we reached that many shots. I think we’ve got to keep doing that to win big games.”

After McClung’s 13 minute goal – the third for her on the season – Tennessee continued to up the pressure.

In the 29th minute, midfield-

er Cheyenne Spade scored a goal to give the Lady Vols a 2-0 lead, thanks in large part to a nice pass from Parry.

Reserves Christine Creighton and Cali Hutson both scored their first career goals late in the first half to cap off the Lady Vols’ dominating offensive performance.

“I was pretty excited, obviously when I scored the goal at first I was just like, ‘Oh, it is another goal,’” Creighton said.

“But I had talked to my brother before the game and he was like, ‘Make sure you celebrate if you score’ so I did and I am very happy that I scored.”

Pensky stated that the huge halftime lead was beneficial to both the starters and the reserves.

“It really becomes a win-win in terms of getting other players chances and then also being able to rest some kids,” Pensky said.

Tennessee failed to score again in a sloppy second half, which Pensky attributed to new players and a lack of chemistry on the field.

The Lady Vols will look to stay on the winning track when they travel to Athens, Georgia, to play the Bulldogs on Friday.
