The Third Saturday In October

This weekend is the "Third Saturday In October", only this year the game will be held on the fourth Saturday. 2nd ranked Alabama is coming to Knoxville for the 91st meeting between these old rivalries. The first match up took place in Birmingham, AL, in 1901 and ended with two thousand fans pouring onto the field in what turned out to be one of the largest fights in collegiate history. The game ended in a frustrating 6-6 tie and continues to be one the sport's wildest, most impassioned rivalries.

What makes Saturday's game interesting is that our defensive safety Eric Berry, who is by far the biggest star on the team, may play some on offence in a package called the "Wild Berry". Berry broke a 60 year old SEC record for total yards returned (397 so far) last week against MSU, and he's only a sophomore!

Come join as at the Tavern this Saturday to cheer on the Vols!

Tennessee vs. Mississippi State

State will certainly be on a high after defeating 13th ranked and previously undefeated Vanderbilt, but who better to let the air out of their baloon than Tennessee? Nick Stephens has a 138.8 passer rating and 3TDs in two games. With experience he'll only get better. Now if he could get pass protection all game like he had towards the end of the UGA game, we could more successfully move the ball down field. Our rushing attack has been fairly successful with our top five rushers averaging 3.9 yards per carry or better. We've surpassed our opponents in scoring in quarters 2, 3, and 4, but have been out-scored 44-14 in the first quarter so far this season. We are very, very close to being a really good team as our opponents have outscored us this season by a combined total of 5 points. Britton has already improved our kicking game, now for improving kick returns. Let's see what job-saving changes Phil has up his sleve for this weekend.

Please join the Big Orange at the Tavern this Saturday to cheer on the Vols as they take on the Bulldogs!

Tennessee Vols vs. Georgia Bulldogs!

He's back! We finally have some great news Vol fans. Britton Colquitt is back and he'll be punting for the Vols for the remainder of the season. You don't think this will make a difference? Know this, currently Tennessee is ranked 115th in the nation in net punting. This will hopefully change once Britton, a member of the famous Colquitt line of kickers for Tennessee, takes the field against GA after being suspended for the first five games. Considering that the defence is ranked 5th in the nation (total defence), things could get better with a good kicking game! The bad news is that there still doesn't seem to be any good news for the offence. Last week's game saw us starting a new QB, Nick Stephens, who has retained the starting job for this week's game, but the offence still performed below expectations. There's an old adage that says quarterbacks improve most from their first game to their second. This is usually true. On the other hand, there's a big difference between NIU and UGA, and a big difference between playing in Neyland and playing "between the hedges". We shall see.

Please join the Vols at the Tavern this Saturday to cheer on the Vols as they take on the Bulldogs in an SEC East showdown! ;-)

NOTE: The weather is supposed to be nasty this Saturday so look for us inside.

Northern Illinois @ Tennessee

Northern Illinois @ Tennessee

It's the first ever meeting between these two football teams. There is still no decision that has been announced about the starting quarterback for this Saturday evening's game against the NIU Huskies. Will it be a less than stellar Crompton or the untested Nick Stephens? Your guess is at least as good as Phil's. No worries from the Vol defense who held Auburn to a single touchdown last week. NIU is one of the teams in the Mid-American Conference, a conference Phil faced twice as offensive coordinator with two victories by more than 12 points each. Let's root our Vols on to a continued undefeated record against the MAC!
