Coaching Notes

Head Coach Derek Dooley The Dooley Era Begins

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

Head Coaching Debuts

Derek Dooley is Tennessee’s 22nd head coach and on Sept. 4 became the 18th to win his first game as Vols skipper. Overall, Tennessee head coaches are 18-4 all-time in their first games. Gen. Robert R. Neyland coached the Vols during three separate tenures and thus had two additional “first” games. He won all three contests, improving the total number to 20-4.

Coaching Prowess

Head coach Derek Dooley’s staff at Tennessee has a proven track record-eight of his assistants have coaching experience in one of the BCS conferences, five have coached in the NFL and three have experienced the formiddable SEC. Baggett, Chaney, Hiestand, Smith and Wylie spent a combined 24 years coaching in the NFL with eight different teams-- the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Houston Oilers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets and St. Louis Rams. UT’s assistant coaching staff has a combined 66 years of coaching experience in all six BCS automatic qualifying conferences. The Vols’ assistant coaches have coached in the bowl games that now comprise the BCS a total of 10 times and boast coaching experience in 59 total bowl games-- including the Super Bowl.

Noting the Staff Chaney, Thompson Return

Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and linebackers coach Lance Thompson are in their second years in Knoxville. Both joined Tennessee’s staff in 2009 and were retained by first-year head coach Derek Dooley. Chaney, arrived on The Hill after three seasons in the NFL with the St. Louis Rams. He was most notably the mastermind of a stellar Purdue offense from 19972005, during which time the Boilermakers ranked inside the top 10 nationally in total offense six times. Super Bowl XLIV winning quarterback Drew Brees played for Chaney during his tenure in West Lafeyette, and the pair led Purdue to the Big Ten Championship and a Rose Bowl berth in 2000. Thompson came to Rocky Top via Tuscaloosa, where he served on Nick Saban’s staff from 200708. His coaching resume is overflowing--Thompson has been a member of two national championships staffs, has a pair of SEC titles, two ACC championships and a Conference USA divisonal winner.

Smith Comes Home

Rounding out Derek Dooley’s staff was former Tennessee standout Chuck Smith. The Los Angeles native coaches the Vols’ defensive line. Best known for his work with some of the biggest names in pro football, Smith spent last season with the New York Jets No. 1 ranked pass defense. Over the past five seasons, Smith has coached and mentored nearly 60 NFL players, including Albert Haynesworth, Robert Ayers and Shaun Ellis-- all three former Vols. He also worked with Michael Johnson, Osi Umenyiora, Derek Morgan and Bart Scott.

During his career in the NFL, Smith recorded 58.5 sacks in nine seasons and served as a captain during the Atlanta Falcons’ lone Super Bowl appearance after the 1998 season. He was later selected the “Best Defensive Lineman in Team History,” by Falcons’ fans. On The Hill, Smith started at right end for two seasons. He helped the Big Orange to a win in the 1990 Sugar Bowl and earned All-SEC honors in 1991.

Wilcox on a Rising Star

According to a recent Sports Illustrated article, Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox is one of college football’s best assistant coaches. The article, compiled by Andy Staples and Stewart Mandel, predicts Wilcox’s career is on the rise, citing the 49-4 record Boise State amassed during his four year tenure with the Broncos.

The General The Proverbial, Perpetual Yardstick

One of the greatest coaches in the history of the game of football, Gen. Robert Reese Neyland is still, and will most likely always be, the yardstick by which all Tennessee football coaches are measured. For 21 years, he led the Big Orange to win after win and championship after championship. His 173 wins, seven conference titles and four national championships set the bar at one of the nation’s finest football institutions. According to UT legend Gus Manning, no one summed up Neyland and his coaching ability better than Wallace Wade: “He could take his and beat yours or take yours and beat his.” -- Wallace Wade, Alabama and Duke head coach and Neyland rival.

Gen. Neyland’s Maxims of Football

1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win. 2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way -- SCORE. 3. If at first the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up -- put on more steam. 4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game. 5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle -- for this is the WINNING EDGE. 6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made. 7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes. UTSports.com | 3

More UAB Roundup

 Simms to Moore (and More): QB Matt Simms threw for 245 yards and three TD...Denarius Moore was on the receiving end on two of those scoring plays, while Zach Rogers’ 72-yard TD reception in the 1st quarter was the longest play for the Vols since LaMarcus Coker’s 87-yard TD run at Vanderbilt on Sept. 30, 2006...the Simms-to-Rogers strike was also the longest pass play for the Vols since an 84-yard TD pass from Erik Ainge to Robert Meacham at Memphis in 2006.  Tying the Record: CB Prentiss Waggner returned an interception for a touchdown in the 2nd quarter, marking his 2nd INT return for a TD in 2010...this ties the school record accomplished seven times by six players, most recently by Eric Berry in 2008.

Injury Update

Nine Vols with Diplomas Ranks Third

 Nine Vols are suiting up this season as graduates of Tennessee. Chad Cunningham, Daniel Lincoln, Cody Pope, Nick Reveiz, Jarrod Shaw, Luke Stocker, Victor Thomas, LaMarcus Thompson and Tyler Wolf all earned their college degrees before the 2010 football season.  With nine active graduates slated for action this season, Tennessee is third in the nation behind Boston College (14) and Auburn (11). Kansas State, Virginia Tech and UCF are tied with eight.

 DE Ben Martin, DT Marlon Walls, and CB Naz Oliver are all out for the season with injuries...additionally, TE Ben Bartholomew has not played in 2010 because of injury.

 This season, the Tennessee game day tradition of the Vol Walk celebrates its 20th anniversary, as then-head coach Johnny Majors started the official Saturday march to Neyland Stadium prior to the Alabama game on Oct. 20, 1990.  In 1989, the team walked unofficially to the games from Bill Gibbs Dormitory. That phenomenon caught on with fans...however, the first publicized and announced Vol Walk did not take place until the Alabama game in 1990.  The start of the Vol Walk moved this year to the corner of Volunteer Boulevard and Lake Loudoun Boulevard to allow fans in the C-8 parking area to welcome the team...the team members will then gather at Circle Park, where they will pay homage to the Torchbearer and the spirit of service to others that it represents...following the team’s visit to the Volunteer Statue, the team will proceed down Peyton Manning Pass, and then left onto Phillip Fulmer Way.  The Vol Walk begins 2 hours and 15 minutes before each home Tennessee football game.

Vol for Life “Andre represents everything it means to be a ‘Vol for Life.’’ He excelled at the highest level on the playing field in the SEC and the NFL and did so as a man of high character and principles.” -Head Coach Derek Dooley

 Since coming to Knoxville, Vols head coach Derek Dooley created the Vol For Life program, a comprehensive player enhancement program to develop to person outside of football.  Former Vols defensive back Andre Lott is the Vol for Life/Character Education Coordinator and works with UT’s football student-athletes to further their personal growth through the newly created program that centers on four areas: character education, life skills, character development and spiritual growth.

A New Decade

 Tennessee has enjoyed its share of success to open every 10-year period, being named national champions in 1940 and 1950.

Inside the Numbers (Offense)

 Tennessee’s opponents have yet to lose a coin toss this season (4-for-4 starting games and once in overtime), but that’s been a lucky break for the Vols. UT has scored on three of its four game-opening possessions, including Saturday’s TD march against UAB. The two other tallies were field goals, as was the opening period of overtime.  The Vols have outscored their opponents 36-10 in the opening period. That’s 32 percent of the team’s scoring in the first 15 minutes, thanks in part to 47 percent of the rushing yards (276 of 585) and 37 percent of the total offense (527 of 1,445).  The average starting position this season has been the 28.3-yard line. The Vols own the following offensive rankings in the SEC: 8th in scoring, 7th total offense, 10th rushing and 7th passing.  Tennessee’s third-down converstion rate stands at 19.0 percent (11-of-58). Only San Jose State at 16.3 percent (8-of-49) is lower in major college football. But the Vols did rally from an 0-of-10 start Saturday to convert two of their last five third downs tries.  The Vols posted a season-high rushing total of 332 yards in the season opener vs. UT Martin and a seasonlow 29 yards on the ground vs. Florida.  Through four games, the Vols already have 22 plays of 20+ yards, which is ahead of the team’s pace from each of the last three seasons. Here is the breakdown:

TD at Memphis earlier that same year.  Simms also found Denarius Moore for a 25-yard touchdown that ended Saturday’s contest. The play came on UT’s first snap of the second overtime.  Tyler Bray (Fr., Kingsburg, Calif.) is the reserve QB. He has played in one game, finishing 3-of-6 for 24 yards vs. UT Martin. Two of his three completions were to TE Luke Stocker.

Running Backs

 Tennessee rushed for 332 yards in the season opener vs. UT Martin, the highest total for the team on the ground since a 380-yard effort in the season opener vs. Western Kentucky in 2009.  Tauren Poole (Jr., Toccoa, Ga.) missed most of Saturday’s game against UAB with a thigh injury. He leads the Vols with 318 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 56 carries, but had just six attempts for 23 yards against the Blazers. Poole still ranks eighth among SEC rushing leaders at 79.5 yards per game (5.7 per carry).  Poole opened the season with 110 rushing yards and two TDs against UT Martin, and then added 162 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries against Oregon.  Poole rushed for 111 yards in the first quarter vs. Oregon, and his 140 first-half rushing yards ranked as the 7th-most by a Vols running back in the first half all-time. Poole is in his first season as the UT starter.  David Oku (So., Midwest City, Okla.) has gained 142 yards on 26 carries (5.5 per carry). Oku led the Vols with 24 yards rushing vs. Florida and 33 vs. UAB. His season-high total of 77 yards on six carries came vs. UT Martin and including a 44-yard TD scamper.  Fullback Kevin Cooper (Sr., Chattanooga) is entering his third season as the starter at that positon. Cooper has started 23 games over the last three seasons. He caught two passes in each of this year’s first three games (6 for 39 yards in 2010).  Rajion Neal (Fr., Tyrone, Ga.) rushed nine times for 79 yards in his debut vs. UT Martin. In 2010, Neal has 101 yards on 15 carries, an average of 6.7.

Stock(er) Market Rising (Tight Ends)

 Senior tight end Luke Stocker (Berea, Ky.) has improved his numbers each season since he began his playing career at UT began in 2007. He finished strong in 2009 and increased his final totals from his sophomore season by 16 receptions, 250 yards, and five touchdowns.  After posting just three receptions through the first two games of 2010, Stocker has nine receptions for 97 yards over his last two contests.

 Mychal Rivera (Soph., Valencia, Calif.) provides depth at the tight end position, having caught three passes in the early going for 13 yards. He also handled a kickoff in the opener against UT Martin.

Quarterbacks

Rebuilt Line (Offensive Line)

 Matt Simms (Jr., Franklin Lakes, N.J./El Camino [Calif.] CC) ranks fifth in the SEC in passing yards per game at 209.0. He is coming off a career-high three-TD performance against UAB that included 245 passing yards against no interceptions. His season-high of 259 yards passing came vs. Florida.  Included in Saturday’s double-overtime effort was a 72-yard TD strike to Zach Rogers -- longest play at Tennessee since LaMarcus Coker ran 89 yards for a score at Vanderbilt in 2006, and longest pass play since Erik Ainge hit Robert Meachem for an 84-yard

 Tennessee’s linemen had made a combined three career starts heading into the 2010 season. Center Cody Pope (Jr., Julian, Calif.), offensive tackles Dallas Thomas (So., Baton Rouge, La.) and Ju’Wuan James (Fr., Suwanee, Ga.) and offensive guard JerQuari Schofield (Fr., Aiken, SC) all made their starting lineup debut in the 2010 opener. Jarrod Shaw was the only starting offensive lineman with prior experience (3 starts in 2009).  Injuries have been an issue, as Pope was unable to play against either Florida or UAB. Sophomore juco

transfer Darin Gooch (So., Reno, Nev./Butte Col.) made his first career starts at center.  Schofield left the Florida game with a foot injury and did not play against UAB. With Schofield out, true freshman James Stone (Fr., Nashville) made his first collegiate start against the Blazers. And another true freshman, Zach Fulton (Fr., Homewood, Ill.) has seen reserve playing time in three of the four games.  The Vols allowed a combined three sacks in their first two games but have allowed 11 in the last two.

Receivers

 Senior Denarius Moore (Sr., Tatum, Tex.) leads the team with 14 receptions, 220 yards, and four receiving TDs (five overall). Moore is coming off his second career 2-TD game (Memphis 2009). He is the active UT leader in career touchdowns with 14 (13 receiving, 1 rushing).  Moore also is tied for the 2010 SEC lead with four receiving TDs, joining Kentucky’s Chris Matthews.  Although he has been sidelined with a hand injury the last two games, Gerald Jones (Sr., Oklahoma City, Okla.) is approaching the top 10 in two main receiving categories in the UT record books:  Career Receptions - Tennessee 8. Tim McGee, 1982-85 123 9. Larry Seivers, 1973-76 117 10. Lucas Taylor, 2005-08 113 Gerald Jones, 2007-Present  Career Receiving Yards - Tennessee 8. Carl Pickens, 1989-91 9. Anthony Hancock, 1978-81 10. Donte’ Stallworth, 1999-2001 Gerald Jones, 2007-Present

93 1,875 1,826 1,747 1,120

 In place of the injured senior Jones, sophomore Zach Rogers (Nashville) started the last three games. Rogers leads the team with an 18.3-yard receiving average, is second on the squad with 183 receiving yards and third in catches with 10. His 72-yard catch and run of a Matt Simms pass resulted in a Vols touchdown Saturday against UAB. It was Tennessee’s longest play since LaMarcus Coker ran 89 yards for a score at Vanderbilt in 2006, and longest pass play since Erik Ainge hit Robert Meachem for an 84-yard TD at Memphis earlier that same year.  True freshman Da’Rick Rogers (Calhoun, Ga.) has also seen playing time, catching a pair of passes Saturday for 16 yards. Rogers has three catches this season for 25 yards. He also rushed for 21 yards on his first career carry (vs. Oregon).  Four UT receivers posted at least 40 receiving yards against Florida, led by 60 yards from freshman Justin Hunter (Fr., Virginia Beach, Va.) on three receptions. Hunter’s first career reception was for 31 yards vs. Oregon and set up a Tennessee touchdown.  Hunter first career score came in that game against the Gators, a 35-yard strike from Matt Simms.  Hunter also had a busy summer on the track, a sport in which he has found national success. In June, he won the long jump at the USA Junior National Championships with a leap of 25 feet, 10.75 inches.  Hunter later represented the U.S. at the IAFF World Junior Track & Field Championships, where he finished sixth.

SEC Instant Replay 2010 The Coaches’ Challenge

The head coach may challenge the ruling of any reviewable play. He retains a challenge if his initial challenge is successful and thus results in a reversal by the replay official. The head coach will then have a single challenge that he may use anytime during the game if his team has not used all its timeouts. Thus a team may have a total of two challenges in the game, but only if the first results in a reversal of the on-field ruling.

The Source

All reviewable video comes direct from either the television network broadcasting the game or other TV production facilities that meet established conference standards. The SEC has used instant replay since 2005.

The Plays

 Reviewable 1. Plays governed by Sideline, Goal Line, End Zone, and End Line: a. Scoring Plays, including the ball in possession of a runner breaking the plane of the goal line b. Runner/receiver in or out of bounds c. Recovery of loose ball in and out of bounds 2. Passing Plays: a. Pass ruled complete/ incomplete/ intercepted in the field of play and end zones b. Touching of a forward pass by a player or an official c. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off beyond the line of scrimmage d. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off after change of possession e. Forward or backward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage f. Quarterback (Passer) starts arm forward, ball comes loss and play is ruled incomplete (if ball is quickly recovered) g. Quarterback (Passer) throws incomplete swing pass that is close to being forward or backward, and pass is ruled forward (if ball is quickly recovered) 3. Miscellaneous: a. Runner ruled not down. b. Runner ruled down (when ball carrier is judged down by rule and the ball is fumbled, play may be reviewed if recovery of ball occurs in the im mediate action following fumble and is prior to any official signaling ball is dead. Also reviewable when runner is ruled out of bounds near goal line.) c. Forward progress with respect to first down d. Touching of a kick e. Number of players on field f. Clock adjustments (in conjunction with reviewed plays) g. Fourth-down/try fumble plays h. Field Goal Attempts (only when ball is ruled below or above the crossbar, inside or outside the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights.)

i. The game clock expires at the end of a half. If at the end of the game, the time may be restored to the clock only if the score is tied or the team that would next snap the ball trails by eight points or fewer.

 Not Reviewable 1. Fighting participants 2. Off-sides/Encroachment 3. Pass interference 4. Roughing passer/kicker 5. Illegal formations 6. Taunting/Other unsportsmanlike conduct 7. Face mask 8. Taunting 9. Illegal blocks 10. Holding 11. Personal fouls

The Process

Each SEC football stadium has a secured replay booth equipped with the HD Instant Replay system provided by XOS Digital. Three individuals work in the booth for the duration of the game: 1. Replay Official, 2. Communicator, 3. Technician. The Replay Official and the Communicator are selected and assigned by the Conference Office. A live HD video feed is sent directly to the replay booth from the TV truck. The Technician watches the feed on an input monitor while recording it into the XOS Digital Replay System. The Technician also marks the beginning of each play while the Communicator marks all incoming replays. Each play and subsequent replay then appears on a touch screen in front of the Replay Technician. As the Technician and the Communicator mark the incoming video, each view will appear as a small picture on the computer touch screen. At any time, the Replay Technician can touch the thumbnail and immediately send that play or replay to the Replay Official. With the Communicator’s assistance, the Replay Official can quickly jump between replays while playing back the video. All replay video navigation is done via a jog shuttle remote controlled by the Replay Official. All video is viewed on an HD monitor that sits in front of the Replay Official. The touch screen is only used to select the replays and to log specific play data in the event a call is overturned. While all plays are reviewed between the whistle and the beginning of the next play, the Replay Official can stop play on the field by using a pager system. Five onfield officials wear pagers. If play is stopped the Referee announces on the stadium PA microphone that play has been stopped so the previous play can be reviewed. The Referee then proceeds to the sideline headset, which provides direct communication to the Replay Official in the booth. Once the play has been reviewed, the Replay Official notifies the Referee, who then announces the decision on the stadium PA system. UTSports.com | 10


Notes on Neyland Stadium

UT Wins at Neyland

The Best Just Got Better

The Home of the Vols just got a makeover, transforming one of college football’s meccas into an aesthetic masterpiece. The concrete walls that used to hold up the west side of Neyland Stadium were replaced with brick. Below the press box, six new panels display some of the finest to ever don the Orange and White-- Al Wilson, Gen. Robert R. Neyland, Reggie White, Peyton Manning, Johnny Majors and Doug Atkins. Most noticeable from the outside are the approximately 700,000 bricks laid since December that totally transformed the look of the stadium’s north and west sides. Standing in the middle of that transformation is the majestic Gate 21 plaza area. “Gate 21 is the focal point of the stadium,” said David Elliott, assistant athletics director for event management. “It’s our marquee entrance. Gate 21 typically has brought in 30,000 to 35,000 people on a game-bygame basis. It is a stunning, stunning entrance.” Six lofty archways dominate the entrance, which doubles during the work week as a key campus transportation hub. No doubt the traffic on game days is just as hectic. Adjacent to the Gate 21 plaza is another change, the new amphitheater at the corner of Phillip Fulmer Way and Andy Holt Avenue. The Vol Network’s Kickoff Call-In Show takes place there, sporting spiffy new digs after spending years on a make-shift platform in front of a worn down hillside. Just inside Gate 21, the Tennessee Official Team Shop is open for business six days a week under management of the UT Bookstore. Four other souvenir locations are located throughout the stadium, including one in an exclusive new seating area.

Tennessee Terrace

The Tennessee Terrace now occupies the west upper deck, with 1,800 individual chair-back seats and a climate-controlled concourse featuring new restroom and concession areas. All of the stadium’s high-end concessions are available to Tennessee Terrace patrons, and those individuals also have the added bonus of sitting on the home sideline after the Vols switched back to the west for the first time since 1992. Plans call for stadium renovations to take a break over the next two years and resume in December 2012. That should allow for a more normal maintenance schedule, including structural painting projects on the stadium’s exterior that are first in line for

numbers retired. Doug Atkins (91), Peyton Manning (16) and Reggie White (92) have their numbers etched in Tennessee lore. Clyde Fuson (62), Rudy Klarer (49), Bill Nowling (32) and Willis Tucker (61) were all Vols who made the ultimate sacrifice for their nation during WWII.  Built: 1921 as Shields-Watkins Field

 Dedicated: Oct. 20, 1962, as Neyland Stadium

With an all-time record of 430-108-17 (.790), the Home of the Vols is the nation’s second winningest college football venue. Only Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium has more wins (434), but is eight years older than Neyland Stadium.

 Surface: Natural grass

Tennessee’s fans have faithfully poured into Neyland Stadium for nearly nine decades. Thanks to the support of a steady fan base, the Vols have led the SEC in attendance each of the past 36 seasons. Additionally, The Home of the Vols has ranked among the top five nationally for 34 years.

2011. Design work throughout the entire Master Plan renovations has been by McCarty Holsaple McCarty Architects/Ross Bryan Associates. Contractor for this portion of the project was Blaine Construction. “We’re very proud of all the construction we have had in the stadium,” Elliott said. “The design team, the contractor and everybody have been a pleasure to work with and they have done a fantastic job putting it together and on time, so we can be ready to play football this first weekend.

Unveiling of the Neyland Statue

Perhaps the most anticipated improvement to the Home of the Vols will not be unveiled until the Nov. 13 homecoming date with Mississippi. As Vols young and old return to The Hill to see the Big Orange take on the Rebels, they will see a twice-life-size statue of the stadium’s namesake, Gen. Robert R. Neyland. The statue will meet its permanent resting place between gates 16 and 17.

 Undefeated Seasons: 36 (last in 2007)  Longest Losing Streak: 4 (twice)

Sideline Change for 2010 Season

When Tennessee kicked off the 2010 season on Sept. 4 against UT Martin, the Vols did so on a new sideline. The Vols called the west sideline home until 1994, when the SEC began prohibiting student seating directly behind a visiting team bench. In order to meet SEC guidelines, the athletics department approached the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs in December to discuss making modest adjustments to student seating assignments. UT Athletics in conjunction with Student Affairs and SGA chose to add additional lower level student seating in sections J and K to offset the seat adjustments needed in section D to give students a more cohesive student section.

When at Neyland Stadium...

The Vols return home Oct. 23 to play current No. 1-ranked Alabama. Tennessee looks to even the alltime series record in Knoxville, which the Crimson Tide lead 21-20-1. UT has won five of the last seven games played at Neyland Stadium. UTSports.com | 11

Sept. 18 | Neyland Stadium | Knoxville | Attendance: 102,455

KNOXVILLE - The 10th-ranked Florida Gators beat the Tennessee Volunteers 31-17 on Saturday for their sixth consecutive win in the 40-game series between the Southeastern Conference rivals. It’s the first time Florida has won three consecutive in Knoxville after having chances to do so in 1990, 1998 and 2004. Tennessee (1-2, 0-1) tied the game at 10 with a 49-yard touchdown pass from Matt Simms to Denarius Moore with 8:59 in the third quarter. Simms completed 19 of 31 for two touchdowns and a pair of turnovers. Florida appeared stopped on the next drive until Meyer called for a fake punt on fourthand-6. Omarius Hines ran 36 yards to keep the drive alive, and John Brantley eventually connected with Frankie Hammond on a 7-yard touchdown pass. The Vols seemed on the verge of a meltdown when Simms appeared to be sacked in the end zone for a safety, but an official review ruled him down on the 1. Tennessee punted but scored on the next possession with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Simms to Justin Hunter on fourthand-6 to cut Florida’s lead to 24-17 with a 11:24 left. Tennessee scored first for the first time against Florida since 2001 when Daniel Lincoln kicked a late first-quarter, 49-yard field goal, tying his career high.

KNOXVILLE - Matt Simms threw a 25-yard touchdown to Denarius Moore on Tennessee’s first play of double-overtime as the Volunteers beat Alabama-Birmingham 32-29 on Saturday. The Volunteers (2-2) had held a 23-7 lead at halftime. But the Blazers (1-3) staged their second major comeback in two weeks as David Isabelle found Frantrell Forrest on a 27-yard touchdown strike and ran for 6 yards for another score and Bryan Ellis hit Jeffery Anderson on two 2-point conversions. Ellis hit Pat Shed on a 14-yard pass to pick up a first down in the second overtime but his 7-yard pass to Patrick Hearn came up 4 yards short of the end zone, and Zahn scored on a 21-yard field goal to put UAB up 29-26 before the Vols’ final touchdown. Simms opened the scoring with a 13-yard pass to Moore at the 10:59 mark of the first quarter. UAB responded to tie the game at 7 with a 52-yard touchdown pass from Bryan Ellis to Mike Jones with 2:34 in the first quarter, but Simms answered with a 72-yard touchdown to Zach Rogers on the next play. With 1:55 before halftime, Prentiss Wagner picked off Bryan Ellis on the next play and returned it 9 yards for a touchdown.
