Vols stumble late, fall 38-35 Matt Gray Staff Writer The defensive woes for the Tennessee Volunteers continued Saturday, falling 38-35 to the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Vols trailed throughout the game by as many as two touchdowns at times. However, Tennessee pulled within three points on Zach Rogers' third touchdown catch with 8:35 left in the fourth quarter. After forcing a Connor Shaw interception, the Gamecocks star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney stripped Tyler Bray with 1:08 left to go in the game, thwarting their comeback. Head coach Derek Dooley said he's proud of the resilience the Vols showed throughout the game. "Well that was another tough finish, a great football game," said Dooley. "We gave up a lot of big plays, so the same old song and dance in the SEC games." South Carolina came into Saturday's game with 29 sacks as a team, third most in the nation. However, the Vols' offensive line held its ground, only allowing the one sack by Clowney. "(The offensive line) did a great job. That's one of the top defenses in college football," said Dooley. "We put 472 yards on them and 35 points, but it wasn't enough to win the game." Bray responded to a challenge made earlier this week by Dooley, criticizing the junior's play. Bray had one of his best games of the year, completing 27 of 43 passes for 368 yards and four touchdowns. "(Bray) played a great game," said Dooley. "But he had an unfortunate end to a great game." Dooley also issued a challenge to junior receiver

Justin Hunter earlier this week, and like Bray, Hunter responded well. He pulled in eight catches for 90 yards. "I think I kept the chains moving the most I could," said Hunter. "I just tried to help my team the most I could and just (be) a leader." Rogers, the senior lead of the wide receiving core, had a career day for the Vols. Rogers had six receptions with a team-leading 107 yards and three touchdowns. His three touchdowns tied the school record for most in a single game in team history. The last to do it was Hunter earlier this season against Georgia State. Dooley said Rogers' success comes from his work ethic. "What Zach (Rogers) does is he plays fast without the ball and he practices fast without the ball," said Dooley. "...I think that develops a lot of trust with Tyler (Bray) about where he's going to be and that's what our other kids gotta learn how to do." But the play that most people will remember from this game is the gruesome injury suffered by South Carolina junior running back Marcus Lattimore. On a run in the second quarter, Herman Lathers was bringing Lattimore to the ground when cornerback Eric Gordon hit the junior tailback low. When the pile dispersed, Lattimore was clutching his right knee. South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier issued a statement saying the running back had a dislocated knee, but speculations of a more severe injury are circulating. Lattimore tore his left ACL last season. "He's such a good young man. Good things are going to happen for Marcus," said Spurrier. "I don't know exactly where or how, but good things are going to happen for Marcus Lattimore."

Clinic Vols hold successful zombie-themed 5K

Sports conference provides networking opportunities Victoria Wright Arts & Culture Editor

Participants dress up in their zombie best during the zombie-themed "Clinic Vols Friday Night 5K" event on Oct. 26.

Owen Schumacher Staff Writer No cannibalism was reported Friday night when zombies ran and walked their way across three grueling, hilly miles of UT’s campus as the Clinic Vols hosted their third annual “Clinic Vols Friday Night 5K.” The event was held to raise money for the Red Cross and local elementary school clinics. To take advantage of the recent resurgence in the popularity of the zombie genre fueled by recent movies and a popular television show, participants were encouraged to come dressed as members of “The Walking Dead.” The race began at 6 p.m. on Pedestrian Walkway. For contributing $18, participants were able to run the course and receive a T-shirt commemorating the event. After the race, a cos-

tume contest was held, with prizes awarded to the best-dressed zombies. The three fastest male runners and the three fastest female runners were also rewarded with prizes for their effort. Clinic Vols Vice President Caitlin Miller organized the event. “We thought a zombie run would be fitting for the Halloween season,” Miller said, explaining why this year’s 5K, unlike the past two years, was given a theme. The incorporation of zombies into the race was successful, as approximately 120 runners and walkers, many of whom were dressed as blood-covered and flesheating zombies, participated in the event, exceeding expectations for turnout. Madison McDaniel, undecided freshman and a regular 5K runner, was enthusiastic about the event. “I think it’s great to generate excitement about a 5K through the use of

zombies,” McDaniel said. “It gets people active, and the money goes to a great cause.” Clinic Vols is a part of the Red Cross organization that helps staff elementary school clinics in the Knoxville area. The money raised, Miller said, will directly fund her organization as well as the local American Red Cross chapter. “Within Clinic Vols, the funds cover the cost of training volunteers and the cost of first-aid supplies for our ten elementary school clinics,” Miller said. The organization is also designed to give students a chance to become involved in their community. The Clinic Vols website describes their volunteer work as “perhaps the most rewarding organization offered at UT.” Their aim is to “let Knoxville know we really care about our community and want to promote public health.” To find out more about becoming a Clinic Vol, visit clinicvols.org.

Students, faculty and sports industry insiders gathered at the Wolf -Kaplan Center on Thursday for the tenth annual Partners in Sports Conference. Bill Schmidt, president of Pegasus Sports Marketing, said the conference was created to meet students' demands for a professional gathering. “It’s a great opportunity for students who are pursuing a sports career to hear from some of the best in the industry,” Schmidt said. Sarah Frazier, board member for the event and senior in sports management, said the event is a good opportunity for students to meet professionals in the sports management field. “You have to network. Everything (in sports management) is who knows you and who you have to link through to get where you want to go,” Frazier said. “It really is important that people know that you are a hard worker and a good person and you’re able to be effective at a job. The more people who know that, the better.” Professionals from Under Armour, an athletic clothing company, were meeting and greeting with students. Schmidt said that having employers present at the conference has helped students land internships. Guest speakers included Colin Clark, assistant vice president of marketing for Ripken baseball; John

Maedel, vice president and assistant general manger for the Chattanooga Lookouts; Jenneen Kaufmann, vice president and chief financial officer of the Tennessee Titans; and Houston Fancher, director of UT men’s basketball operations. Students from Martin Methodist College and Lincoln Memorial University were also invited to the event. Attendees received words of wisdom from the speakers about building strong contacts and prevailing through hardships as they enter their careers. “Don’t let anybody belittle your ambitions, and don’t sell yourself short,” Fancher said. “Believe in your abilities, don’t be afraid to fail, and become the best you can be in whatever direction you take.” Schmidt said that over the past decade the real challenge hasn’t been building morale among students, but ensuring that the confidence lasts after graduation when students are entering the job market. “I think for a long time, and I think the concern for us, was, ‘Are we just people out there who aren’t going to have jobs because there’s only a limited number of professional teams?’” Schmidt said. "I think what’s been obvious over the (last) ten years is that there’s other opportunities other than professional sports. You still have corporations that have products that are related to sports and (students) could end up marketing there. It’s been a great growth.”

GSS considers equal benefits with insurance Justin Joo Staff Writer

Heath Mosier • The Daily Beacon

Participants walk down Volunteer Blvd for Light the Night on Oct. 26.

The Graduate Student Senate will debate whether they should augment the graduate student insurance policy to include equal benefits for all domestic partners. After listening to a presentation by representatives for the Faculty Senate and the Commission for the LGBT People on Thursday, GSS voted to begin debating on whether to make changes to the insurance policy for grad students. The changes that could potentially be made would be similar to ones that the Faculty Senate have been trying to look into with their own insurance, which is to expand the married partner benefits to be available to both heterosexual and homosexual non-married domestic partners.

The proposal to discuss such changes was shot down by UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and Agriculture Chancellor Larry Arrington. The initial response from Cheek was a three-paragraph letter stating that the proposal would not be in compliance with the State of Tennessee’s laws, and therefore there was nothing UT could do as a state university. Cheek stated on Oct. 22 that he is reconsidering the proposal and will have a new response in the coming weeks. Amanda Sanford, president of GSS, believes there is a chance that GSS could actually get benefits for all domestic partners because graduate students are not considered state employees but simply employees of the university, and therefore would not necessarily be beholden to laws of the state. “We are university employees, not state employees,” said Sanford. “It’s kind of a loophole sort of thing. It’d be a little easier to go through.” An additional argument brought in support of changing the insurance policy was that it would actually bring revenue to the university. Under the graduate student insurance policy, which is a separate package than the one given to faculty, married grad students have to pay to get benefits for their spouses. By expanding the partner benefits to include domestic partners, the university could potentially be making even more money. Whether GSS will take any action will be debated at their next meeting on Nov. 15. If the senate approves of taking action, legislation will be drafted and then presented to senate again, possibly in January. Then Sanford would take the legislation through administrative channels. Sanford said that even if everything goes smoothly, it wouldn’t

be until the insurance contracts are renewed before any changes are actually seen. She also predicted the administration might be slow to move before approving any changes. “It’s something that we would have to push if we want to see it happen,” Sanford said. “And we’re going to have to push pretty hard about it.” The senate voted almost unanimously in support of starting the debate for making changes. Initially the vote had been to start drafting legislation immediately, but there were some in the senate who were concerned that there were aspects that needed to be discussed before a legislation could be fully written. Thus, the vote was changed to have a debating process first, which passed through smoothly. Faculty Senate and the LGBT Commission presented the case for making changes to the grad student insurance policy. Representing the Faculty Senate were associate professors Donna Braquet and Bharat Mehra. The two detailed the history of the Faculty Senate’s proposal. Representing the LGBT Commission, Jenny Moshak, associate athletics director for sports medicine, said she was there to give the perspective of the struggle from the LGBT side. “I’m here to put a human face on all of this,” Moshak said. Braquet, Bharat and Moshak all argued that by not having a more inclusive insurance policy for either faculty or grad students was counter-intuitive to the university’s Top 25 initiative and potentially hurting UT’s recruitment of good students, professors and researchers, also noting that most of the Top 25 universities all have some benefits for domestic partners. “Are we going to stay behind or be a leader?” Moshak asked the senate. “… Let’s join forces and do what’s right.”

OPINIONS

bkuykend@utk.edu

Guest Column Third party votes still hold validity “Don’t do that, you’ll just be throwing your vote away.” These were the first words out of my mother’s mouth when I told her that I would be voting for Governor Gary Johnson. At this point, many of you are thinking the same thing: "How could I? Why would I bother to use my precious sacred vote to cast a ballot for a man who stands no chance to win the White House?" In America, our system is designed for us to cast our ballots for whomever we deem to be the best candidate for elected office, in this case, the presidency. Everyone knows about Governor Romney and President Obama, but what about the other folks? Our best friend, Wikipedia, lists over 33 other national political parties, but why is it we never hear from them? Historically, third parties have long been legitimate factors. Looking back a century ago, the election of 1912 was won by Woodrow Wilson, thanks to third parties. The Republican president William Howard Taft was seen as a failure in the eyes of the once retired Theodore Roosevelt, prompting him to mount a challenge for a third term. It was not just the split which caused Wilson to be elected, but also the impressive six percent won by Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist candidate. Far more recently, the election of 1992 shows the impact of a third voice Texas businessman, Ross Perot, who led many polls with 40 percent of the vote during the summer. Despite losing support due to a brief campaign hiatus, Perot still managed a whopping 19 percent of the popular vote against President Bush and Governor Clinton. While 1992 represented the rise of moderation with Perot, the 2000 election had Green Party candidate and consumer advocate Ralph Nader make such an impact that many Democrats still blame his successes in Florida for the election of President George W. Bush. So what is the appeal of these third parties? For many, it’s a protest vote. We have a president and a challenger who agree on more than they dis-

agree. The most contentious issues on the campaign trail have not been over policy or ideology, but over “who said what.” We have turned presidential politics into a sporting event, where fans cheer and bicker simply because they like their man (or woman) better than the other. Third party candidates often will discuss the issues others won’t. You won’t hear Romney or Obama promising cuts to balance the budget in 2013, but you will hear specifics of these cuts or tax increases from folks like Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, or former Congressman Virgil Goode, the Constitution Party candidate. Third party candidates will discuss issues which are not politically expedient. You’ll hear these candidates step up and discuss real solutions because they have no desire to pander for a few votes in swing states, but because they want to see changes. These voices are a pleasant surprise in a political society driven by rhetoric and talking points. These voices are ones we need to hear more of — if we want to actually find solutions to the many problems our nation faces. Tennessee is hardly a swing state, but what we can do is swing popular opinion. If we decided to show our support for a third party candidate of our choosing, we won’t mess with who wins our 11 electoral votes, but we can send the message that there are many of us wanting to hear real solutions from real candidates. It’s like Johnson said, “What’s a wasted vote other than voting for somebody that you don’t believe in? That’s a wasted vote. We change things in this country by voting for somebody who we believe in.” I, for one, refuse to waste my vote on an exclusive and broken two party system. Go vote, and do so wisely. — Forrest Barnwell-Hagemeyer is an undecided freshman. He can be reached at fbarnwel@utk.edu

Big questions asked about big ideas Go & Go by

Julia Ross

The following is likely not what you are expecting. Last week my column was about the responsibility of every student to set high expectations for academic achievement in order to ensure that they are accessing all of the resources this university offers to benefit students. Raising standards for academic achievement is the responsibility of the entire UT community. This week, I reached out to students across academic disciplines and areas of student life, seeking stories of inspiring professors and empowering administrators. These anecdotes have, not surprisingly, been accompanied by stories of times when students felt their interests were neglected and their opinions discredited because of their youth. Before I comment on the role of faculty and administration in student success, I needed to hear more from both perspectives. Below are questions for your reflection and consideration. I invite you to flood my inbox with your answers. As administrators and professors, do you feel that students undervalue the work you do to ensure that they receive the best education possible? What habits do you observe in successful students that you wish were common across campus? Do you believe that our university is in need of, or is possibly undergoing, a cultural shift that will redefine the way we consider academic achievement? Those of you who have been with us for decades, how have students changed? Are we improving? Have your interactions with our Student Government Association or other groups charged with the task of representing students left you with the impression that we as a student body are mature in the ways we express our interests and that our

requests stem from legitimate concerns? Do you feel that we are capable of understanding that frustrating tradeoffs must be made to ensure the long-term growth of the school? Do you feel that there is enough transparency in communication between the administration and the student body? Is there too much? Could information about difficult decisions facing the administration be delivered more effectively? What role, if any, should current students and alumni play in these discussions? I will likely be personally reaching out to many of you in the coming weeks in hopes that you will share your experiences that speak to the questions above. I cannot emphasize enough that every voice matters, so I ask each of you to consider sending me a brief email. I would like to hear more from my peers, as well. What were you expecting when you came to UT? Do you feel that the faculty, administration, and your peers consider you to be an adult who takes responsibility for the development of your education? Do you think your behavior and attitude merit that you be treated as such? Are academics your top priority each week? If not, what comes first? Certain metrics have already been established which show the areas in which Tennessee will need to improve to become a Top 25 public research university. In what areas do you think our university needs the most improvement? Do you think that this effort to become a Top 25 school will translate into you being better served as a student? Do you feel that our university invests enough in your education? That your attendance is not only preparing you to be involved in the civic and economic future of our state, but also preparing you to be an effective citizen and agent of positive change in an increasingly globalized world? Why did you come to college in the first place? Flood my inbox. Your voice matters. — Julia Ross is a sophomore studying microbiology and political science. She can be reached at jross26@utk.edu

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Latin for "after this, therefore because of this," post hoc ergo propter hoc is the logical fallacy of false correlation. One thing is not always the cause of or linked to the other. In this day and age, it seems that if one disagrees with the actions or lifestyle of a person or group, one is labeled as uneducated, old fashioned, closed-minded or even discriminatory. Everywhere I turn, I see some form of mass media proclaiming that we should become more diverse and inclusive to other ways of life. UT even has an entire section of the website dedicated to diversity. The “Civility and Community” campaign is a major theme around campus. While inherently this is a good idea, there's something about this that bothers me. Why does it seem that becoming more open to different ways of life means the devaluing of traditional ways of life? Is it right for us to devalue one way of life in order to accept another? No. Being truly diverse means accepting all ways of life, not playing preference to one way over another. There are bad apples in every barrel; people who make the group they are associated with look horrible. But we can’t base our opinions of entire groups on the actions a small portion of a particular group. It is also important to remember that there is a difference between disagreeing with the opinions or actions of others and discriminating against them. For

example, my neighbor disagrees with my refusal to read the Harry Potter books since I’ve seen the movies, but that doesn’t mean we hate each other or don’t respect each other’s opinions. On the contrary, she’s one of my closest friends. It also doesn’t mean that because I haven’t read the Harry Potter books I’m an uneducated person or that I’ve lived under a rock my entire life. I simply choose not to read them because that’s not the type of literature I’m interested in. Of course, the debate (or lack thereof, so I am told) over whether the Harry Potter books are better than the movies is obviously a far less serious issue than diversity, inclusion and discrimination, but the same principle still holds true. Disagreeing with someone does not make one close-minded, uneducated or uninformed. It doesn’t mean that one person is better than the other. Different people have different opinions. We can respect each others' opinions without compromising our own. We can agree to disagree and still work together in society. If people are going to preach diversity, inclusion and acceptance, it should be done so in a way that doesn’t devalue other ways of life. We can become more inclusive and accepting without devaluing one-way of life, or giving preference to one over another. The answer to all of this isn’t an easy one. But I do believe that the solution to being more accepting towards others and being inclusive is simpler than we think. To quote Dr. Seuss, “sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” Treat others the way you want others to treat you. Problem solved. — Samantha Smoak is a sophomore in communication studies. She can be reached at ssmoak@utk.edu.

Spin-off play impresses crowd Melodi Erdogan Staff Writer Set in the Lab Theatre with a cast comprised of undergraduate students and adapted and directed by theatre teacher Kate Buckley, "Will Power!," which premiered on Thursday evening, delighted the audience with funny skits and compelling interpretations of classic Shakespearean scenes and songs. Proving that there can be too much of a good thing, "Will Power!" had a variety of scenes that had audience members laughing one moment and pensive the next. Scenes from Shakespearean classics like "Macbeth" and "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" were performed, all while famous lines like “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day” were quoted. The handful of scenes performed were intriguing and moved quickly, with not a boring moment during the play. Although the play revolves around the literary works of Shakespeare, anyone could easily enjoy it thanks to the energetic cast and the small yet intimate theater. • Will Shelton, sophomore in English, spent the summer in England watching many of Shakespeare’s works being performed and said that even if audience members don’t catch all the Shakespearean references, it was still a great show. “Since it wasn’t exactly so much a plot as it was Shakespeare’s most quoted (works) and stuff like that, the (audience) may be a little lost,” Shelton said. “But it is still enjoyable to watch because the actors and actresses did a very good job with the material.” The cast, which was only comprised of six undergraduate students with focuses in theatre, makes for an amazing performance. If not for their distinct personalities on stage, the show would have lacked the quality that made it great. The actors connected to the audience and related to Shakespeare's pieces. Additionally, the cast performed a few of Shakespeare’s original songs. Not the most popular among the literary legend’s work, the songs were riveting when performed by the cast and had a raw and authentic quality to them. Shelton appreciated the songs being included in the play.

Contributor In a world filled with dubstep and "Gangnam Style," it’s always nice to find an artist who breaks away from the trends and makes the kind of music that comes straight from the soul. Austin, Texas, native Gary Clark, Jr. is just the musician to bring back that kind of flavor through each of his crunchy blues guitar riffs. With as much buzz and anticipation that this 28-year-old bluesman has harvested over the last few years, playing shows all over the country showcasing his talents, Clark is finally ready to make a name for himself. Coming off of a breakout year, Clark has finally garnered the attention of music lovers and rock gods alike. After playing with such legendary musicians as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and countless others, Clark's heavily anticipated major label debut, "Blak and Blu," has finally hit the shelves and is everything it was expected to be. Clark shows that he will not be tied down to one particular genre in his musicianship. "Blak and Blu" demonstrates traces of blues, rock, rhythmand-blues and even hip-hop. Although Clark is best known as a blues artist, it is easy to hear his different musical influences, ranging from the likes of Al Green to Chuck Berry. The record wastes no time with the funky first track, "Ain’t Messin ‘Round." Clark’s voice is velvety smooth on the introductory song reminiscent of the music that made Lenny Kravitz

a household name. Clark makes good use of the horn section on this song, using his harmonious voice and shaking tambourine to add a retro flavor to the tune. The title track, "Blak and Blu," is a change of pace from the rest of the album. Other than the more bluesy songs on the record, this song is more on the rhythm and blues side. With a backing track evocative of Erykah Badu’s peaceful and hushed songs, Clark questions, “How do we get lifted/How do we not go insane?,” baring his aching heart on the track for all to hear. One of the standout tracks of the album is "Next Door Neighbor Blues." Clark showcases his use of the slide guitar on this fuzzy sounding tune. The rawness of Clark’s voice is aching with tender emotion throughout the entire song as he sings, “Came home last night with a pistol pointed at my head." Clark’s lyrics are reminiscent of the great blues singers he grew up on, artists like BB King and Buddy Guy. As a whole, "Blak and Blu" is a pure and well-constructed album; but without a doubt, the breakout song of the record is "Bright Lights." Even those who don’t know of Gary Clark, Jr. have heard this song before, whether it be as the official song of the 2012 NFL Draft or for a Jack Daniel’s commercial. The track has a riff so undeniably catchy it puts The Black Keys to shame. Clark sings, “You gonna know my name by the end of the night,” and with an album as crisp as "Blak and Blu," this will definitely not be the last time this artist's name is heard.

“Shakespeare’s songs, since he didn’t really write any music to them, can be interpreted and adapted in any way, so I thought they did a really good job as far as the adaptations went,” Shelton said. Considering the size of the Lab Theatre, the space for an elaborate set may have felt overwhelming and even uncomfortable for the cast and the audience, which is why the design for "Will Power!" was perfectly done. The wide stage was accompanied by a large tree sculpture which was covered with aged pages of Shakespeare’s plays, and on the other side there was a simple bench. Utilized by cast members in interesting ways, they would sometimes lay down on it and sometimes stand on it, the bench essentially making the performance feel real. It was more than just a prop but a key way for the cast to prove a method in the madness. The costume design for "Will Power!" was another expertly done aspect of the performance. Featuring old English style dresses and puffed-shoulder jackets, the costumes were uniform throughout the play but showed up in different and distinct ways. Although the actors wore regular clothes to begin with, they gradually wore the specifically Photo courtesy of Clarence Brown Theatre designed costumes over their regular clothes, which added more depth and quality to the overall feel of the performance. "Will Power!" is skillfully done, from the multi-functional set and use of costumes to the cast performances to the scenes and monologues chosen to be a part of the play. When the play ended and the actors took their bows, "Will Power!" confirmed the saying,“All’s well that ends well.” Shelton said he had his doubts but appreciated the play as a whole. “For the first five minutes I was thinking more about 'let’s see if the performers get their lines more than anything,' but they ... pulled it off really well,” Shelton said. “I think the Globe and the Royal Shakespeare theatre(s) would have been proud.” "Will Power!" will play at the Clarence Brown Lab Theatre until Nov. 11.

Rogers shines in tough loss Lauren Kittrell

Lady Vols split weekend matches Scott Fields

Contributor Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley could only shake his head at the postgame press conference. After losing 38-35 to No. 17 South Carolina (7-2, 5-2 SEC), in what could have been a comeback win for the Volunteers, Dooley was once again disappointed with the team's (3-5, 0-5 SEC) final score. "I though we were gonna win and we didn't get it done," he said. With Dooley's job currently in question, a win against a ranked SEC team would have been exactly what the team needed to pull them out of a rut. Dooley said the only thing they can do is move on to next week's matchup against Troy. "We didn't accomplish what we wanted to against these SEC top teams," Dooley said. "We gotta turn the page and we can still have a really good season and that's all we can focus on." Despite the loss, the team managed to stop the Gamecocks' defensive line and keep the offense rolling. One of his primary concerns prior to the game, Dooley said he felt the offensive line played well. "They did a great job against one of the top defenses in college football," Dooley said. "We put 472 yards on them and 35 points, but that wasn't enough." But Dooley's faith in his team hasn't shattered. "I still believe in the team," Dooley said. The team drove for 472 yards with 368 from the passing game. Wide receivers Justin Hunter and Zach Rogers combined for 14 of the team's 28 receptions. "What Zach does is he plays fast without the ball and he practices fast without the ball, and I think that develops a lot of trust with Tyler on where he's gonna be," Dooley said. His energy in practice has been a development over time. "He's a senior," Dooley said. "He's seen the value of it and he's getting rewarded for it." Rogers' drive in practice is some-

Zach Rogers pulls in one of his three touchdown catches against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Oct. 27. thing Dooley would like to see emulated by his other receivers. "If you don't play fast without the ball or you don't practice fast all the time, you can't get that trust and rhythm and timing right, and it's something that receivers aren't overtiring," Dooley said. Rogers said the team's recent trend in close games and disappointing losses has been difficult on the team and is something they have all observed. "We have it in our grasp every time and somehow it doesn't go our way and it's very frustrating, very disappointing for us," Rogers said. "At the same time, we still have a lot of football left to play and that's the benefit of it." On the offense's last play, the line broke and Bray was unable to hold onto the ball, resulting in a Tennessee turnover with only a few minutes left in the game. Rogers said he thought that was the play the Vols were going to win on. "We had a lot of momentum going into that last drive and I thought we were gonna score, no doubt," Rogers said. "I thought we were gonna go up and win this ball game and break the streak. Unfortunately things happen and they didn't go our way." Rogers said this is a typical issue in the SEC. "One mistake and you're behind on the ball game and that's what got us tonight," he said.

All winning streaks must come to an end, a fact all too familiar to the Lady Vols volleyball team. Attempting to extend their five game winning streak and avenge a loss to SEC rival Kentucky (14-8, 8-4 SEC) from a month ago, Tennessee instead lost 3-2 after five sets Friday night at Thompson-Boling Arena. After coming back from six points down in the first set to close it out for a 25-21 win and taking Kentucky to the wire in the second for a 29-27 win, the Lady Vols were overwhelmed as the Wildcats took the next three sets and the match. “Our passing broke down, and we just didn’t do what we needed to do with the ball,” said Tennessee head coach Rob Patrick. “Give Kentucky credit, they were really playing great defense; they were digging a lot of balls, making us play every point. We just weren’t able to sustain playing well enough for a long enough period of time.” Despite the strong performances from sophomore Tiffany Baker and juniors Kelsey Robinson and Ellen Mullins, the Lady Vols fell short in the later sets of the match. Baker and Robinson recorded 18 and 17 kills respectively, with Robinson also recording 11 digs. Mullins followed up her second consecutive SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors with 29 digs. “I feel like after game two, we wanted to keep our energy high, but we wanted to stay focused so we wanted to calm down, but it was too calm,” said Baker, “Seeing how we played in the

first two sets, I feel like we haven’t played like that in a long time, just seeing that and what we’re capable of is a positive aspect.” Due to a tremendous defensive effort from Kentucky senior Stephanie Klefot while senior Ashley Frazier added another four kills in the set, Kentucky rallied early and shut down the Tennessee defense, winning the third set 25-14. The teams fought back and forth in the fourth set before Kentucky finally finished the game strong, winning the fifth and final set 15-5. “I was really happy with how we competed, I was really happy with how we played, I was really happy with the choices we were making on the court,” said Patrick. “We needed to keep our high level of play, we need to sustain it better." However, the Volunteers were able to rebound Sunday afternoon as they took down Alabama (14-11, 3-10) in three straight sets (25-18, 25-16, 25-19). The Lady Vols improved their record to 15-6 and 8-4 in SEC play with this win after a quick turnaround from the heartbreaking loss to Kentucky. Robinson again paced Tennessee as she recorded the final kill of the match to go along with her 13 kills and 12 digs while only being responsible for one error in the match. “I think after a loss like that against Kentucky, there’s only two ways to really go, you can either shut down or you can keep moving,” said Robinson. “I’m real proud of our team for responding well, we kind of just said, 'you know it was a tough loss and let’s put it behind us and let’s move forward.'” Tennessee controlled the entire match with only two lead changes

throughout the contest while the final result was never in question. The win came from a balanced attack from several Lady Vols. Outside of Robinson, senior DeeDee Harrison contributed nine kills with Baker also coming up big with eight kills of her own. “Games that you lose you always try to find a way to come back, and we just used this game to work on all the things we did wrong against Kentucky,” said Harrison. “This is definitely a good confidence boost for us as a team.” The match moves Mullins closer to the 1,000 dig mark for her career, with only 15 more to go after recording 29 digs Friday and 13 more on Sunday while she followed up on her second consecutive SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors. “I thought the players did a fantastic job of really staying on the game plan, they played very efficiently, very low error," said Patrick. "I was very proud of them for taking what Alabama would give us and not try and get greedy on some things." For Alabama, sophomore outside hitter Pricillas Duke-Ezeji led the team with 15 kills. Junior Cristina Arenas added 11 digs for the match in just a set and a half before the match took a tragic turn for the Crimson Tide and Arenas in the second set as she and Duke-Ezeji collided. Arenas walked off the court under her own power and would not return; she was later seen on the sideline on crutches after coming back from the locker room. The Lady Vols will see their next action as they travel to take on Mississippi State in Starkville at 7 p.m. CT, on November 2 in what will be their first of four straight road games.
