[YankeeVol]

Jalen Hurd rushed for 100 yards for the third time against Oklahoma (106 yards) to become the first Vol since Arian Foster (five games in 2005) to have three consecutive 100-yard rushing games. He has 229 rushing yards on 47 carries this season and his four rushing scores are one away from tying his total from 2014 rookie season. Hurd's 229 rushing yards currently ranks fifth in the SEC.

Hurd became the first player to rush for 100 yards against the Sooners since Alabama's Derrick Henry in the 2014 Sugar Bowl.

 

[YankeeVol]

Jalen Reeves-Maybin (21) and Derek Barnett (15) each posted career-highs in tackles vs. OU. Reeves-Maybin's previous high for total tackles was 13 vs. Iowa in the 2015 TaxSlayer Bowl and his 21 on Saturday marked UT's first 20-tackle performances since A.J. Johnson recorded 21 against Mississippi State in 2012. Barnett's previous best was 10 tackles against Ole Miss last year.

Reeves-Maybin leads the team with 30 tackles (second-most in the SEC), 21 solo tackles, 5.0 tackles for a loss, and 2.0 sacks through Tennessee's first two games of the season. Barnett is second on the team with 19 tackles (10 solo) and recorded his first sack of the year vs. the Sooners.

With a #CheckerNeyland sellout of 102,455 for the opening game, Neyland Stadium has drawn a crowd of 100,000-plus fans for at least once a season for the last 20 years.

I expect a fairly one sided game, okay okay .... a Complete One Sided Game. I have much on my plate tomorrow so this will be the first game in years that I have not planned a Game Menu, (I am moving and whatnot and will be attempting to get close to being finished tomorrow). I will however try those pizza rolls again, they are super easy and the kids will love em. Lets Go Big Orange, work out our problems in the WCU game so we can be ready to DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Go Vols!!

 

[joevol33]

Gonna be a long day waiting on the Vols!

I thought the same thing. I hope our young guys get their feet wet and ready for Florida! I want to see Dormady throw the ball.

Let Hurd get his 100 yards then take him out.

I hate how articulated the POTS has been when playing.

Yea, he handed it off a few times and threw one pass at the end of the BG game.
