With today being Friday the 13th no freak accidents occurred.

John Brown was absent from practice today. The team and all of Volnation should hear about his fate sometime this afternoon.

Janzen Jackson didn't hit today but he was conditioning on the side while the team practice. He won't play in tomorrows scrimmage but he should be ready to go when Monday rolls around.

Nigel Thorton participated in practice today so that is a good sign.

Ben Bartholomew was wearing a walking boot on his right foot. I am not sure what the injury is or when is occurred.

Greg King appeared to be walking better than yesterday. The bone bruise doesn't seem like it is too bad but I think they are going to give him a MRI just to be safe.

Freshman quarterback Tyler Bray sprained his left ankle very early in practice but he seemed like it didn't hurt as bad the further practice went along.

Cornerbacks Eric Gordon and Knoxville native Anthony Anderson were the starting gunners on special teams.

Reveiz is starting middle linebacker with Herman Lathers and LaMarcus Thompson playing on the outsides.

Converted reciever Marsalis Teague rotated in and out with Art Evans as the starting corner. Teague received quite a bit of the starting snaps.

Waggner and Brewer were the starting safties without Jackson playing. They didn't perform too well today. UT will need Jackson to be healthy.

Anthony Anderson and Stephaun Raines ran with the 2nd team corners while Tyler Wolf and Rod Wilks at the safties.

Sophomore running back Davis Oku continues to impress the staff. He seems like he is having the best fall camp out of the whole team. Oku is very vocal and passionate about the game. He is becoming one of the leaders of this team. David appears to be more mature physically and mentally since he was last seen in the spring.

Scouts from the Bears and Redskins were present at practice.

21 days till its football time in Tennessee!

The afternoon is pretty much over. How can no one know right now but will later this evening? This whole thing has been weird.

Thanks for the update. I hope John makes it in. Teague sounds like he made the transition well.

I don't know how you do it, but these updates are the most clutch thing of the season so far. Zasnow for president?

I wonder though if John Brown being absent from practice means anything. Hope not

Just thinking out loud . . .if he was at practice yesterday, so as to continue his conditioning, then seen packing up stuff earlier today, and not at practice, that would not be a positive sequence of events. Maybe I'm all wet on this, but that is my impression. Hope I'm wrong!

I think Brewer is going to be the starter after the first few games. I think he is just in an reacclimation period right now. He is going to be fine after he gets used to the playbook and starts playing ball instead of over thinking plays.

I am not worried about our LB's, unless as many get injured as last year. We have a good mix of experience (Thompson, Reveiz, Frazier) and young talent (King, Lathers).

Wish we could watch tomorrow's scrimmage. Jr DE Rae Sykes said the D will "bust heads and wreck" the offense.

I found it on wesruckers twitter page
