• It appears as though Tennessee picked up a new baseball commit from Sevier County catcher/pitcher Noah Webb.
• Former Tennessee offensive coordinator Mike DeBord did a nice job to give Indiana the early lead against Ohio State last night. Kirk Herbstreit talked about just how fast the DeBord offense is, calling it the fastest tempo in the last seven or eight years of college football. Talk about someone who caught a ton of flack at Tennessee for no reason. The Vols will do well this year to get anywhere near the offensive numbers the ‘swim coach’ put up the last two seasons.

• After Wednesday’s knee surgery, Tennessee learned that Darrin Kirkland Jr. will miss the entire 2017 season. “We can’t dwell on DK not being there,” defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said yesterday. “I feel worse for him than for anything else. Here’s a guy who has worked really hard. He came back for the bowl game and played well. He had a good offseason and put himself in position to take the next step as a player. Injuries are part of it. We have dealt with it before.” — Butch Jones confirmed during his noon press conference today.
