Jaguar Hunt

Tomorrow morning, for the first time in Tennessee Football History, The University of Tennessee Volunteers will face the South Alabama Jaguars.  Here's some things to think about.

1.  Sagarin rankings.  Tennessee #45 nationally, South Alabama ranked #152.

2.  Student Attendance.  The tickets are still $10, the game's at 11:21.   Hope the students make the game and wish these inexpensive tickets were still covered with the student's tuition/fees/etc, but for this week, it's a Mike Hamilton policy that Tennessee is still hoping will work out...hopefully, it'll eventually go the way of Kiffin and Dooley's tenure as the head coach of the Vols.

3. Vols are favored by 20. Just in case someone was wondering.

4. Worley.  Worley showed improvement in the Florida game.  This is a trend we'd like to see more of.  He's had showed some flashes of brilliance at the helm, and the offense continues to play disciplined football.  It's a great opportunity to put it all together for gameday Saturday. Let's rally behind our QB #VOLNATION

5. Ferguson & Dobbs.  This week Ferguson was working with the 2nd team, Dobbs with the Scout team.  Great time to see what we've got with our co-backup QBs.

6. Tennessee Defense and Turnovers.  Let's keep it going...

"...Vols...have made turnovers a plus. They lead the SEC and are ranked No. 3 nationally in turnovers forced with 12 in four games -- eight interceptions, four fumble recoveries. The eight interceptions ranks No. 2 in the SEC and tied for fifth nationally.

Tennessee is averaging 11.25 points per game off turnovers, which leads the SEC and is No. 5 nationally..."

7.  Jaguars have a good rush defense, but right now, no SEC running back has broken 200 yds in a game.  Maybe it's time for this highly touted Offensive line and Tennessee Running Backs to show what we can do.

Should be an eventful contest.  Safe travels for all of y'all heading up to Knoxville this weekend.

Go Vols!
