Tennessee football

Tennessee has announced which players are inactive against LSU. Here is the list, including injured wide receiver Cedric Tillman.

He underwent surgery to recover and ultimately return to the lineup, coach Josh Heupel said. And Hyatt had five catches for 58 yards. 128 among 131 FBS teams in pass defense, and starting cornerback Warren Burrell is out for the season after undergoing surgery on an upper-body injury.

Josh Heupel's Tennessee football Volunteers head to Baton Rouge, La., to face Brian Kelly's Louisiana State University Tigers Saturday.

In 2007, they also beat them in the SEC title. They scored two upsets over the Vols in 2000 and 2001, the latter in the SEC Championship, which cost UT a trip to the national championship. Led by first-year head coach Brian Kelly, this is LSU’s first game against a team ranked in the top 25 while they are playing them. 25 in the AP Poll, they most recently held off the Auburn Tigers 21-17 on the road. Two weeks before that, they beat the Pittsburgh Panthers on the road in overtime, avenging a loss to them last year. The Vols have their second straight and third overall matchup against a Power Five team in the top 25, this time visiting the LSU Tigers Saturday afternoon.

Tennessee looks to snap a five-game losing streak to LSU with the teams meeting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the first time since 2010.

The Vols outgained LSU 263-89 in sack-adjusted rush yards and had Daniels on the run throughout the day. Then, in the second quarter, starting left guard Garrett Dellinger left the game with a knee injury. The junior caught four passes for 63 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Tigers, including a 45-yard bomb from Hooker that put Tennessee ahead 20-0 with 14:39 left in the second quarter. LSU (4-2, 2-1) had the football in Tennessee territory trailing just 20-7 late in the first half, but Daniels was sacked on fourth down, which wound up leading to a 32-yard field goal from Tennessee's Chase McGrath on the last play of the first half. 8 Tennessee made its first trip to LSU in over a decade a memorable one as the Volunteers jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in a 40-13 win over the No. The victory snapped a five-game losing streak for Tennessee in the cross-division series and marked the program's first win over LSU since 2005.

No. 8 Tennessee jumped ahead, took advantage of LSU mistakes and quieted the Tiger Stadium crowd en route to a lopsided road win.

It was a runaway from there for the Vols. On the first play of his Vols’ career, Williams broke a 52-yard punt return. Hooker also became the sixth player in UT history to throw at least 40 TD passes in his career despite joining the Vols last season as a Virginia Tech transfer. He broke a 26-yard run and delivered a dart for a 14-yard TD pass to Hyatt. In the second quarter, Greg Brooks executed a well-disguised safety blitz and rocked Hooker, who never saw him coming and fumbled. He remained in the game but completed only 3 of his next 9 passes. Hyatt made two TD receptions for the second time in three games. They notched five sacks, tied for the most in coach Josh Heupel’s two seasons. For a second straight game, Tennessee adjusted well to the absence of star wide receiver Cedric Tillman. Then he caught a 14-yard TD pass on the opening possession of the third quarter. McCoy has set a career high in yards in back-to-back games with Tillman out. And they had lost 16 of 17 games to Florida before beating the Gators two weeks ago.

Tennessee thoroughly dominated LSU Saturday, 40-13. The Vols scored an early touchdown and never looked back on their road to 5-0.

Tennessee was the first SEC state to legalize sports betting. Tennessee is looking the best it has since the early 2000s. “It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol” chants broke out near the end of the fourth quarter and Rocky Top was played more times than you could count.

Baton Rouge, LA - From the opening kickoff it was all Tennessee Vols Football as the eighth-ranked Volunteers picked up their third-ranked victory of the.

Needing yardage to get in field goal range, Hooker found McCoy wide open over the middle of the field for 32 yards and quickly gathered the offense to clock the ball for a last-second attempt from McGrath. It started with a first-play, 48-yard catch-and-run by McCoy and finished with Small’s second touchdown run of the game from five yards out. [Chase McGrath](https://utsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=14967)finished the drive by banging through a 35-yard field goal, and not even four minutes into the contest, the Vols held a 10-0 lead. Hooker’s efforts were matched by [Jabari Small](https://utsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=14987)on the ground and both [Bru McCoy](https://utsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=17650)and Hyatt in the pass-game. The explosive Volunteer offense would finally burst out on the first play of the ensuing drive. LSU countered with an 11 play, 73-yard drive into the red zone, but the defense stuffed the Tiger offense on 4th-and-four. Small plunged into the endzone from a yard out, and Tennessee claimed a 7-0 advantage just 1:14 into the contest. Then, it would take just five plays for the Vols to punch in the opening score of the game. Small, the bell cow of the rushing frenzy, accumulated 127 yards on 22 attempts and punched in two rushing touchdowns. Senior safety [Trevon Flowers](https://utsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=14943)capped the victory with his second interception of the season with nine seconds left in the contest, snaring the back-corner fade in the endzone. He caught seven passes and recorded 70 yards after the catch in the victory. The Vols forced LSU (4-2, 2-1 SEC) into turnovers on the opening kickoff and their last play from scrimmage and stuffed all three Tiger fourth down plays.

LSU fumbled the opening kickoff, and the Vols went off from there, building a 20-0 lead. They never looked back, never letting the Tigers get within one score ...

That’s the one advantage to Heupel’s offense. They entered the game among the most penalized teams who gave up among the most penalty yards per game in the nation. Josh Heupel’s offense will naturally open the door to such issues, but having double-digit penalties is unacceptable. With the win off its bye week, Rocky Top improves to 5-0 on the year and 2-0 in the SEC. LSU fumbled the opening kickoff, and the Vols went off from there, building a 20-0 lead. Up next for them is a visit to the Florida Gators.

Quarterback Jayden Daniels went 32-of-45 for 300 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Senior linebacker Micah Baskerville recorded a team-high 15 tackles, ...

It was a 76-yard drive on nine plays to give the Vols a 30-7 lead with 11:47 remaining in the third quarter. The Tigers tried to go for a two-point conversion, but Daniels was sacked for a loss. Daniels found Jenkins for a 22-yard completion, but on 4th-and-10 at the Tennessee 45-yard line, Daniels was sacked for an eight yard loss. The Vols turned it into points, going 68 yards on 11 plays as McGrath converted a 38-yard field goal to lead 13-0. The Tigers were efficient on third down, converting 5-of-9 at that point as Daniels was 15-for-20 for 158 yards passing. Jabari Small took advantage of LSU’s mistake with a 1-yard touchdown run to give Tennessee an quick 7-0 lead out of the gate.

LSU football had a slow start, and it didn't get much better in Saturday's deflating loss to Tennessee in Baton Rouge.

Instead of punting the ball away, Kelly and LSU elected to try to convert the fourth-and-long. LSU's Jack Bech muffed the opening kickoff, which was recovered by the Vols and quickly turned into a touchdown. The decision that rightfully drew the most scrutiny was LSU's fourth-down attempt with 28 seconds left in the first half.

“I see dead people … Walking around like regular people … They don't even know they're dead … They're everywhere.” Zombies prowl now. As if college football ...

Players “understand that how you train during the week is how you play on Saturday,” Kelly said on Saturday, listeners staying awake through that and other passages. Thompson-Robinson, in a fifth UCLA season, would be the nation’s sixth-highest-rated passer (with Hooker seventh), and he would be the guy who just said to reporters, “We all know the history between UCLA and Utah … For another, UCLA hasn’t turned up in a Rose Bowl since just months before “The Sixth Sense” release date, becoming reputed maybe even for the un-American act of prioritizing academics. And that’s despite the impossible fact that the other Mike, now an analyst at Georgia, has five children, one named Jake. UCLA tore through defending Pac-12 champion Utah 42-32 in the Rose Bowl on Saturday and shone fresh light on the established talents of another quarterback long familiar but finding fresh heights: Dorian Thompson-Robinson. For one thing, UCLA had spent the past 16 seasons going 99-99, a startling achievement of mathematics if not necessarily football. Yet now the batty landscape brims with Tennessee Orange but also UCLA Blue, a hue of blue long since also among the prettiest things anyone ever saw. “They’re on the same page,” Heupel said of his team. Tennessee had come to define forgettable in its 85-88 run across the past 14 seasons of five head coaches who arrived and thudded, arrived and thudded. How funky that it would end up being that quarterback, Josh Heupel, the son of a high school principal and a football coach at Northern State University in Aberdeen, S.D., who by 2022 would yank Tennessee out of a crypt of which it had pretty much paid off its mortgage. Well, five years further into the muck, they’ve up and beaten Florida 38-33 in Knoxville on Sept. That references Neyland Stadium, that storied old hulk by the Tennessee River which America might have forgotten it had in its midst.

My guess is it’ll be in Ann Arbor for the Michigan-Penn State game to mix it up, but all eyes will be on CBS’ afternoon SEC showcase next weekend. If College Gameday didn’t already visit Knoxville once this season for the Florida game, that’d be a no-doubt destination for the crew. He hasn’t thrown a pick all season and had LSU supporters streaming toward the exits early.

Finebaum credited QB Hendon Hooker, coach Josh Heupel and the Tennessee defense for firing on all cylinders on Saturday, but he also noted that this team now ...

It was an amazing statement win for Tennessee, but they have bigger fish to fry (against Alabama).” And they started to crumble two weeks ago against Florida. “You mentioned Hendon Hooker — he’s the key to everything, and so is Josh Heupel, who I think has established himself as the premier play caller in America,” Finebaum said.
