Five of our Vols scored in double figures in the win over Ole Miss on Wednesday night.  That night, the Vols won their 6th straight home game, and they’ve now won 11 of their last 12 contests at home.

Saturday night, the Vols beat South Carolina for the 11th straight time, and they remain tied with Alabama for fourth in the conference.

The Vols will close out their regular season at home against Vanderbilt on March 3^rd.

I hope you will be able to make the trip to 3^rd Base to cheer on the Vols.

Vols slam the dores shut in O.T.

UT beat Vandy 27-21 in O.T. last Saturday night.  The game was decided on Eric Gordon’s 90 yard interception return for a TD.  UT next visit Kentucky at 11:21am on SEC Network.

Bama blows out Vols in 2nd Half

For the third consecutive week, the Vols were good enough for a half to at least bottle up an offense that was supposed to run and pass all over them.  But in the second half — for a third consecutive week — they looked like the team that’s been repeatedly burned for big gains, sent away with lopsided results and left reciting broken-record responses to the same questions.  The final score was a 37-6 loss to Alabama. 

The true Freshman, Justin Worley will get the starting nod against South Carolina on Saturday at 6:15 on ESPN2.

Tyler Bray breaks thumb, out six weeks!

Tyler Bray broke his thumb in a 20-12 loss on Saturday night to Georgia.  Bray is expected to be out up to six weeks.  Matt Simms came in for the injured Bray and was able to engineer a scoring drive late in the game.  Justin Worley will now back up Matt Simms until Tyler Bray returns to action.  LSU visits Neyland Stadium on October 15th at 2:30pm on CBS.

UT Knocks out Buffalo

Tyler Bray completed 21 of his 30 pass attempts for 342 yards and four touchdowns, Tauren Poole notched his second 100-yard game of the season and Da’Rick Rogers caught seven passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns as UT overwhelmed Buffalo at Neyland Stadium.

UT Loses in Swamp!

Rising Star WR Justin Hunter went down with an ACL injury on the third play of the game and the Vols never recovered and lost to Florida 33-23.  The Vols had no running game whatsoever and the offense was unable to recover from Hunter’s injury.  This week there is an Open date with the next game on October 1st at 11:30am against Buffalo.

UT Wins Big over Montana

UT posted their first victory of the 2011 season by several big plays against scappy Montana!  Next up is Cincinnati which will be a huge test before the Annual showdown with Florida.  The Cincinnati game will be televised at 2:30pm central on ESPN2.

It’s Football Time in Tennessee!!!
