DJ mixing things up for College GameDay Staff Report

Jill Strange is a Chicago-based musician, and she’s also the official DJ for ESPN’s College GameDay. Strange has a unique sense of style when it comes to DJing. The Columbia College graduate has been producing music for more than eight years and has plenty of experience DJing music in Chicago’s music scene.

Her love of music developed while she was growing up.

“My mom is a fitness instructor, so I heard a lot of classic ‘90s house and Miami bass when she was teaching her classes,” Strange said.

“She gave me all her old records, and soon after, I was an avid collector.”

After building up her collections, Strange signed up for a DJing class in college, and her passion for it skyrocketed.

Strange was propelled into the spotlight after receiving the runner up and fan favorite positions in the Campus DJ competition, which was a team effort with ESPN. The competition was held in Phoenix, Arizona, during the College Football championship.

“Pretty much out of the blue, seven months later, I received an email from ESPN’s College

GameDay asking if I would be interested in being their official DJ,” Strange said. “Of course I said yes. I signed the contract and I’ve been with them since Sept. 1.”

Upon entering the competition, Strange didn’t know what to expect, especially since she was the only female DJ. “I felt that I had to be three times as good as everyone else to prove myself as a woman in a male dominated industry,” Strange said.

“So, placing high and winning were major moments for me.”

Strange’s crowd also reached around 10,000 at one point, which made her feel humbled and in awe of the experience.

“When my name was not called as the winner, the audience actually booed the winning DJ,” Strange said. “Afterwards, walking through the crowd, I was stopped by people of all ages, families and young girls wanting to meet me. It was certainly a bittersweet moment.”

Strange makes sure her music is picture perfect for every show.

“I usually play 60 to 90 minutes prior to the GameDay program and during each commercial break. During commercials, I typically play fun classics and school songs. But before the show, I play more of my Chicago sound.”

Strange also includes a variety of genres in her mix so that no one becomes bored, and she

has a chance to satisfy as many musical tastes as possible.

“After all this, I grab some cold water, a bit of sunscreen, and I get up on stage to welcome everyone to College GameDay,” Strange said.

“I pretty much have a panic attack the night before each show.”

Most of her inspiration doesn’t come from the musical notes but rather something unique and less heard. Strange isn’t committed to a certain sound but is committed to pushing deserving artistry out towards the public.

“My goal is to share unique music you wouldn’t normally hear,” Strange said. “I want to turn people onto artists and genres of music that should get more attention.”

Strange gets most of her recent inspiration from classic Chicago house and Detroit techno sounds as well as record labels like Dirtybird and Main Course.

“They’re constantly putting out totally unique and fun tunes that I love to DJ and listen to around the house,” Strange said.

Strange hopes to spend more time in Chicago and possibly seek residency. She also wishes to create original music.

“Of course I’d love to continue to play at venues around the country as well,” Strange said.

Be sure to tune into College GameDay for the rest of the 2016 season to hear Strange’s Djing style.

Debut novel takes inspiration from Scruffy City Rebecca Randolph Copy Editor

There is a wickedly dark mind that lies behind the kind smile of Kerri Maniscalco.

This become more apparent at her book signing on Sunday, Sept. 25. She was dressed in cream, but sitting next to the stack of her first novel were cupcakes splattered with blood and goodie bags with skulls on them.

Maniscalco grew up in New York and only moved to Knoxville recently, following in the footsteps of her parents and sister. Her family is close-knit, and Tennessee reminded the New Yorker of the Hudson River Valley. She wanted to go to school here, specifically the because of the body farm, but ended up studying art in New York. So she took her chance to move to Knoxville later in life.

“Stalking Jack the Ripper” is Maniscalco’s debut novel about a 17-year-old girl named Audrey Rose Wadsworth who lives in 19th century London during the peak of Jack the Ripper’s carnage across the city. Audrey’s uncle, who teaches a course on forensics at a boy’s school, is attempting to help catch the serial killer and doesn’t mind involving his niece in the mystery unfolding on the streets of London.

Summer Webb, a local book blogger who publishes under the title “Butter My Books” said the entire reason she wanted to read Maniscalco’s debut is because of James Patterson.

“Her book is one of the most talked about of the week,” Webb said, noting the attention that it’s gotten over it’s rather curious publishing.

James Patterson, a critically acclaimed author of mysteries, thrillers, young adult and children’s books, recently opened his own publishing house called JIMMY Patterson.

Maniscalco’s novel is the first young adult novel to be published under it.

“It’s insane. I still can’t even wrap my brain around the fact that … James Patterson even read it, let alone (published) it. It’s just totally mind blowing,” Maniscalco said.

Patterson is known for his own dark tales, something “Stalking Jack the Ripper” does not shy away from. The novel opens with the main character, Audrey, breaking the ribcage of a cadaver to rip out the heart and liver for study, and then insisting her suture skills are just as good as a mortician’s because her aunt raves about her needlepoint work.

There was definite inspiration that came from Knoxville as well as UT’s own Foresnsic Anthropology Center. Maniscalco immediately

jumped on the topic of bodies and bugs when asked about the connection between her novel and the famous work of forensic anthropologist William Bass.

“I always really wanted to come down to the body farm,” Maniscalo said. “I know it sounds weird but I just think it sounds so fascinating to see kind of the states of decay and bug activity and how it affects (decomposition). It’s all very morbid.”

Her favorite part was the research into the gritty details of the murders and forensics that existed during that time. She was surprised to find that there was a consistent use between tactics in forensics used in the 19th century and the ones used now. Maniscalco also hopes that for books two and three she can use her new home of Knoxville as a place of research at the body farm itself, even if just to tour.

“Stalking Jack the Ripper” was released on Sept. 20, under James Patterson’s new children’s book publishing house JIMMY Patterson and through Little Brown. Currently it has 4.8 stars on Barnes and Noble, 4.1 on Goodreads and 4.0 on Amazon.

You can find Maniscalco through her website kerrimaniscalco.com and on Twitter @ KerriManiscalco.

McClung exhibit showcases unearthed Knoxville history Isabella King

Contributor

“Knoxville Unearthed: Archaeology in the Heart of the Valley” debuted at the McClung Museum Sept. 17. It features over 200 items discovered underneath parking lots and backyards around Knoxville.

The contents of the exhibit range in age from the 1780s until the mid-20th century.

“It’s focusing mostly right before Knoxville gets created,” Timothy Baumann, the curator of archeology at the McClung Museum, said. “So, the frontier, East Tennessee, of Europeans and Americans coming in and starting to settle and coming into contact with Native Americans.”

Many of the objects displayed in the exhibit are from house museums, or historical homes that have been converted into museums, and digs led by Charles Faulkner, a retired UT professor who has worked with the school since 1964.

“He was the one who sort of spearheaded the idea of trying to work with local historical societies and doing archaeology right here in our own backyards, studying Knoxville’s history,” Baumann said.

Some of the contents on display were also

discovered during road work, such as the items in the Weaver pottery site.

“They’re (archeologists) required (by the federal government) to do assessment of what might be destroyed, both environmental as well as cultural,” Baumann said.

The digs are done by professional archeologists and are associated with federal programs.

The McClung Museum collects exhibits from UT staff, private donors and alumni.

Museum educator Debbie Woodiel spearheads educational programs. Woodiel coordinates public outreach events ranging from lectures and tours to hosting family days and school groups on campus.

“It helps to teach the young about how a group of people came to be in this particular place with this particular type of culture, so we think preserving the past and telling people about the past is very important,” Woodiel said.

Baumann and Faulkner spoke together at a lecture on Sept. 20 about “Knoxville Unearthed.” They focused particularly on the various houses where items were found: the Gibbs, Mayberry, Sevier and Ramsey houses as well as Blount mansion and the Weaver Pottery Site.

Baumann’s favorite object in “Knoxville Unearthed” is the David Henley teapot.

“(It was) excavated at the corner of Gay and Church street,” Baumann said. “His office was the site of the Tennessee constitutional convention. So over three weeks, they sat in his office and went over and wrote the state constitution and actually signed it right there.”

During that area’s excavation, the old teapot was discovered.

“We’re 99 percent confident that that was

Henley’s teapot,” Baumann said. “But I’m much more interested in the bigger stories and the connections of the past to the present.”

“Knoxville Unearthed: Archaeology in the Heart of the Valley” runs until Jan. 8, 2017 and is in honor of Knoxville’s 225th anniversary.

UT group monitors social media politics Chris Salvemini

Asst. News Editor UT is in a unique position to monitor a vitriolic election through popular social media platforms.

The Political Social Media Research Group, which is mostly graduate students in communication studies, journalism and political science, spent the night in the Adam Brown Social Media Command Center where they used professional software to analyze the tone and subjects in Monday night’s presidential debate through people’s reactions on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many other platforms.

“This is a social media election, period …

Donald Trump is a candidate that built his entire campaign on a social media platform,” Stuart N. Brotman, who founded the PSMR Group, said.

The group uses Social Studio, software used by many Fortune-100 companies, to monitor social media platforms and look for keywords.

The software also prepares a word cloud of the most used words in discussions about the

election, which can be used to tell what matters to people that may not be monitored. It can also be used to monitor the tone of the debate.

“We have a lot of different researchers in here, and we’re all focusing in on a different aspect. Social Studio allows us to narrow in on keywords, and we will also have a (word) cloud, which will show us what people are saying at the moment,” Elizabeth Hurst, a master’s student in communication studies, said.

The data was published in real-time as the debate went on through the groups social media profiles.

“We’re the only university in the world that has this capability. This technology is used by major corporations around the world to analyze what people are saying about their brand, but it hasn’t been used for research applications like social media,” Brotman said.

Most of the researchers were working off their laptops, but they were surrounded by televisions programmed to different stations. On one, Bloomberg featured real-time fact checking during the debate. Another television was programmed to C-SPAN, since it constantly showed both candidates. Right in the center of

the command center are four televisions programmed to view different social media outlets.

“We’ll be able to see differences in social media platforms. Is this going to be dominated

by Twitter, or will people also use other platforms during the debate?” Brotman said.

To analyze social media trends, students were divided into two teams. One team searches for keywords, like “economy” or “immigration” and records the amount of times they are mentioned to find out what people were talking about during the debate.

The other team monitors the tone people use when talking about big subjects. Social Suite describes whether people were posting to social media in an angry or happy tone, but the process also requires a person to figure out what the software can not. Some phrases, like “that’s sick,” can be a good or bad thing depending on the context and requires a researcher to determine it.

“This is just an awesome opportunity for us to experience what research is in real time, and this type of research. We might make a big impact, and we hope to make a big impact,” Hurst said.

Clinton, Trump battle over taxes, race, terror Associated Press HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — In a combative opening debate, Hillary Clinton emphatically denounced Donald Trump Monday night for keeping his personal tax returns and business dealings secret from voters and peddling a “racist lie” about President Barack Obama. Businessman Trump repeatedly cast Clinton as a “typical politician” as he sought to capitalize on Americans’ frustration with Washington.

Locked in an exceedingly close White House race, the presidential rivals tangled for 90-minutes over their vastly different visions for the nation’s future. Clinton called for lowering taxes for the middle class, while Trump focused more on renegotiating trade deals that he said have caused companies to move jobs out of the U.S. The Republican backed the controversial “stopand-frisk policing” tactic as a way to bring down crime, while the Democrat said the policy was unconstitutional and ineffective.

The debate was heated from the start, with Trump frequently trying to interrupt Clinton and speaking over her answers. Clinton was more measured and restrained, but also needled the sometimes-thin-skinned Trump over his business record and wealth.

“There’s something he’s hiding,” she declared, scoffing at his repeated contention that he won’t release his tax returns because he is being audit-

ed.

Trump aggressively tried to turn the transparency questions around on Clinton, who has struggled to overcome voters’ concerns about her honestly and trustworthiness. He said he would release his tax information when she produces more than 30,000 emails that were deleted from the personal internet server she used as secretary of state.

Tax experts have said there is no reason the businessman cannot make his records public during an audit.

Clinton was contrite in addressing her controversial email use, saying simply that it was a “mistake”. She notably did not fall back on many of the excuses she has often used for failing to use a government email during her four years as secretary of state.

“If I had to do it over again, I would obviously do it differently,” she said.

The televised face-off was the most anticipated moment in an election campaign that has been both historic and unpredictable. Both sides expected a record-setting audience for the showdown at Hofstra University in suburban New York, reflecting the intense national interest in the race to become America’s 45th president.

The candidates sparred over trade, taxes and how to bring good-paying jobs back to the United States.

Clinton said her Republican rival was promoting a “Trumped-up” version of trickle-down economics — a philosophy focused on tax cuts for

the wealthy. She called for increasing the federal minimum wage, spending more on infrastructure projects and guaranteeing equal pay for women.

Trump panned policies that he said have led to American jobs being moved overseas, in part because of international trade agreements that Clinton has supported. He pushed Clinton aggressively on her past support for the TransPacific Partnership trade pact while she was serving in the Obama administration. She’s since said she opposes the sweeping deal in its final form.

“You called it the gold standard of trade deals,” Trump said. “If you did win, you would approve that.”

Disputing his version of events, Clinton said, “I know you live in your reality.”

Trump struggled to answer repeated questions about why he only recently acknowledged that Barack Obama was born in the United States.

For years, Trump has been the chief promoter of questions falsely suggesting the president was born outside of America.

“He has really started his political activity on this racist lie,” Clinton charged.

Clinton aides spent the days leading up to the debate appealing for the media and voters to hold Trump to a higher standard than they believe he has faced for much of the campaign. Their concern was that if the sometimes-bombastic Trump managed to keep his cool onstage, he’d be rewarded — even if he failed to flesh out policy specifics or didn’t tell the truth about his record and past statements.

This Is Fine: The boy who always was my almost

Caroline Longmire Columnist

“I’m never going to commit to you, but you aren’t allowed to be with anyone else. Now, do you want to go get some coffee?”

Aren’t those the words every girl wants to hear?

The words that they have dreamed of being proclaimed to them since they were little and dreaming of Prince Charming? And here I was, the one lucky woman who got to hear them straight from the mouth of the man I had wasted two years on, yet still managed to fall more and more in love with every day.

Then one day, I woke the hell up and shut it the hell down. I was so fed up with devoting my every waking second to making sure he, let’s call him ‘Mac,’ was happy, entertained, cared for and on track with his life. I was tired of being the one that always cleaned up his messes without a single ounce of appreciation. Honestly, I would have been happy with an enthusiastic high-five.

Mac and I met in my high school pre-calculus class. In a class icebreaker game, I had to tell everyone the name of my favorite movie, which was Napoleon Dynamite. I can still remember how he jerked his head up to look at me, like he hadn’t realized I had been sitting next to him for the last 15 minutes. He looked up at me with astonishment: How could this “prep” like a movie that I also enjoy? How could anyone else have my sense of humor? Who is this girl? As soon as the icebreaker ended, he turned to me and we talked like we had known each other for years until the end of class.

When the bell rang, all the other students were scrambling towards the busses, the parking lots

and after-school activities. Mac, however, was slowly walking down the hallway, trying his hardest to keep the banter we were having going until it was absolutely impossible. Not three minutes after I finally told him to go or he would miss his bus, I got a text from him. “Yo, dis be Mac.” Little did I know that those four little words were the text message equivalent to Pandora’s Box. That night, we texted until I fell asleep mid-conversation, and I woke up with 52 messages from him where he was trying to blow up my phone so I would be annoyed the next morning. Unfortunately, those 52 messages did the exact opposite of annoy me, and by the end of the month, I was a goner.

I spent the next two years becoming very close with his group of friends, spending time with his parents, taking care of him while he had his wisdom teeth out, being his groupie whenever his band had a gig, and going downtown every weekend because it was his favorite place to go.

On those days, we would spend 12 hours minimum together, so naturally I grew to be an integral part of his life. I had everyone in his family’s numbers because they knew that if they couldn’t get him to answer the phone, I would. I drove his father to pick up his truck at the U-Haul store. I took selfies with his mother. I picked four leaf clovers with his grandmother. I knew every single one of his secrets, his hopes and dreams, his fears and his selfdestructive ways. Everyone in his family saw how much I meant to him and how happy I made him when we were together. On one particular camping trip, when Mac had stepped out of the tent for his

morning smoke, one of our mutual friends looked over at me and said, “I wish he would just go ahead and marry you. I only ever see him this heldtogether when you are by his side.” I knew, though, in my heart of hearts, that he was what had been slowly destroying me. He was the reason I was always coming home smelling like Marlboros and sitting quietly on the couch because I was pretending not to know that he was out with another girl.

I gave him everything he could have ever wanted or needed for the next year and a half, clinging to every grin and promise of his love for me.

It is now September and I have not spoken a single word to him since the night I sat in my church parking lot so that I could cry and scream over the phone at him in privacy. He begged me not to do this — not to end what we had worked so hard to build. I reminded him that I had built it all. That it was too late for him to realize just how much he needed me.

He whispered into the phone: “I hope a few years down the line we can catch up. I want to know what you’re doing. I want you to come back.”

The last words I ever said to him, the boy I had worshipped, were, “Maybe. I’m not sure if I can ever do this again.” He sniffled. He let out a shaky sigh. His voice cracked when he said, “I love you. I will talk to you later.” I went home and ate a string of cheese.

Socialized: Predictive power in American politics Jarrod Nelson Columnist

I write my column on Sunday. I find that this both suits my general laziness and allows me to cling to an extremely acceptable excuse that a paper will eat up every time: timeliness. If I wrote too far in advance, then this column would be pointless when it comes out, and I barely justify it with a point right now. People chuckle along and that is good enough for me. However, even though I tend to wait until the last possible second out of both personal choice, smart analysis and a passingly pathetic personality, I still have to write in advance and sometimes that’s really frustrating.

You see, the first presidential debate was on Monday, and I have a column to write on Sunday to be published on Tuesday.

As everyone knows, predictions are like a Macklemore album. Driving, with no substance, but with tons of obnoxious fans who are living a style that was popular 10 years ago. The same can also be said of the Florida Gators. Thus, because of their nature, I avoid making predictions as much as I can. After all, I don’t want to be talking about trucks, and somehow slip up and say that they could never be pulled by ducks. A truck in neutral

could certainly be pulled by enough well-trained, quietly quacking ducks.

I’m just really happy we beat Florida.

But I’m getting sick of predictions. Not just ones made by cornerbacks that get beat by high school quarterbacks playing receiver. No, mainly I’m positively prostrate over political predictions.

Not predictions on the outcomes of policies. Those are projections, and I’m nothing if not semantically inclined. Instead, I’m talking about people who meander their bad haircuts onto television screens, talk about “real Americans” with a forced folksy manner, and make sure you know their views are shared by everyone who really loves this country. Because clearly nothing’s ever been more appealing than butt-naked patriotism. Look at Hulk Hogan, John Cena and the existence of Larry the Cable Guy. Even Anheuser-Busch, a BelgianBrazilian beer conglomerate, renamed their flagship beer “America.” This stuff clearly works.

That’s why it is so annoying. In politics, people most definitely vote their feelings, but pundits and others go around predicting other peoples’ preferences based on their own. It’s some weird

semi-circular logic of ego stroking where people have convinced themselves that they are somehow representative of the average voter despite being on TV almost every night. I think I’d classify myself as a pundit, or at least a wannabe one. But I have the respect for everyone that reads this column to be clear that what I think applies to me and not to my audience. That language will be everywhere Monday though: “Americans,” “average Americans,” “the American people want x”.

Want to know how we’ll know what the American people want? When they vote in November.

I’ve tried to stay away from the election this semester. Most of you all are probably tired of hearing about it anyway. But my prediction is that despite Monday being ostensibly a debate between two candidates and their ideas, that most people are going to be talking about America’s wants and needs.

And America has just become a new pronoun for me.

Vols volleyball pick up first SEC win against Georgia Jordan Duncan Contributor

After being swept by Mississippi State at the end of last week, the Vols volleyball team broke out the brooms against Georgia on Sunday, Sept. 25, sweeping the Bulldogs 3-0.

Tennessee came out looking together and focused, unlike Friday’s game against Mississippi State on Sept. 23. From the start of the game, Sedona Hansen set the ball well, which led to the hitters having good success in their swings.

Erica Treiber, Bri Holmes and Tessa Grubbs also earned well placed, forceful kills during the first half of set one.

Once the lineup changed, however, the Vols began to slip. They went from being up 9-3 to only being up 11-9, prompting head coach Rob Patrick to call a timeout. It helped the Vols to regain their composure and resulted in another big run to put the Vols up 17-10.

Georgia appeared flustered and the Vols put away the bulldogs in the first set. But Georgia held the lead in the second set 15-13 until Grubbs came up to serve. She dished out a triplet of aces to bring the momentum and the lead back to the Vols.

Tennessee’s frontline presence could not be denied throughout the game, blocking almost everything that came their way. This began to have a mental effect on Georgia, causing them to hit several sets far out of bounds in an effort to avoid the block surely awaiting them.

Patrick said after the game that his team’s

blockers did a good job on keeping the Bulldog’s outside hitters at bay. “Georgia has some very good outside hitters, they can move the ball around and hit line or cross court and do a lot of things,�

Patrick said. “I just thought our blockers technically did some really, really good things in terms of setting up the blocks in the right spots and reaching with their hands to the right areas.�

Georgia fought hard against Tennessee in the second set, drawing within three points of the Vols. It was not enough, however, as the Vols took the second set 25-21 off of an emphatic Holmes strike.

Holmes reached the 750th kill of her Volunteer career in Sunday’s game, tallying 10 total on the day. She said after the game that she wanted to beat the Bulldogs one final time before she graduates at the end of this season. “(This game) being my last time playing Georgia in Thompson Boling Arena,� Holmes said. “I mean, it’s my last go ‘round, my last time playing home or away. I think that really helped me get a lot of energy and motivated me to play with a lot of passion today.�

Although the Bulldogs blocked well and fought to come back, the Vols would not be denied. They continued their stifling blocks and aggressive offense, even when the score was close, and the Vols finished off the Bulldogs 25-21.

Tennessee’s next opponent will be on the road against South Carolina this Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 9 p.m.

VOLLEYBALL

Vols recover from Friday night loss Taylor Crombie Contributor

Tennessee (10-4, 1-1 SEC) defeated Georgia (12-3, 0-2 SEC) on Sunday in straight sets after losing to Mississippi State in the same fashion on Friday night. “I think we were just a little more focused,� head coach Rob Patrick said.

The Vols ran away with the first set and made adjustments when the Bulldogs started to take the second and third sets away from them.

Unlike their performance against Mississippi State, the Vols kept their energy level up even when the score was not in their favor. “I thought they did a really good job in the third set even though we weren’t playing really well,� Patrick said. “We kept the energy up, and I thought that was the difference.�

The Bulldogs played more aggressively in the second set and were able to take the Vols’ early lead away from them. But freshman Tessa Grubbs had three consecutive aces as part of a five point run in the second set to help put the Vols up 17-15. Georgia trailed for the remainder of the set, eventually losing 25-21.

In the third, the Vols trailed again, but they were able to grab the lead late to secure a victory. A service error by Georgia’s Megan Spencer and three strong serves from Brooke Schumacher put the Vols up 23-20. The Bulldogs’ Majesti Bass ended the four point run, but Erica Treiber prevented the Bulldogs

from regaining the lead with her ninth kill of the match. Georgia committed another error, letting Tennessee win the set 25-21.

Bri Holmes and Treiber led the team in kills with 10 and nine respectively.

Both Holmes and Treiber have consistently been dominant on the court, but Treiber was particularly motivated because of the loss to Mississippi State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The loss on Friday kind of got to me,â&#x20AC;?

Treiber said after Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just put as much energy and effort into the game as I could today.â&#x20AC;?

For Holmes, the motivation comes from knowing it will be her final season. She is savoring every moment and making sure she plays to her fullest potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time I play a game, the first thing I think is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, this is my last time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Holmes said.

Holmes made her 750th collegiate career kill during the first set. The senior transferred to UT from UC Riverside last season and has recorded 414 kills since becoming a Volunteer.

Tennessee is now 45-27 all time against Georgia and beat the Bulldogs in straight sets both times the two teams faced last season. The Vols have recorded more wins against Georgia than any of their other SEC opponents.

The Vols will play their next four matches away from home starting with South Carolina on Sept. 28. They will play at Florida on Oct. 2 and attempt to end a five-game losing streak against the Gators. Tennessee is 13-47-1 all time against Florida.

FOOTBALL

Jumper continues to improve as Vols prepare for Dawgs Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor

With linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Darrin Kirkland Jr. out against Florida this past Saturday, Sept. 24, the Vols needed someone at the linebacker spot to step up.

That person was Colton Jumper.

Jumper, a junior linebacker, led the team in tackles on Saturday with eight tackles and led the defense as they held the Gators to just 105 yards in the second half.

On Monday, head coach Butch Jones said that Jumper played his best game yet.

“I thought Colton Jumper played his best game to date,” Jones said. “I really like the way he lined us up. He made some critical plays on the running backs and down the field in pass coverage. He did some really good things for us.”

Last year, Jumper began the season as linebacker and started the first three games last season before being replaced by Kirkland.

For Jumper, that play time last year has helped his progression for this season.

“I think that definitely helps (playing last season) really with the nerves coming into it,” Jumper said on Monday. “Having starts under my belt and having some game reps, that really helps. I think my confidence has gone up a little bit, and that’s helped a lot.”

As Kirkland is doubtful for Georgia this Saturday, Jumper will need to continue his impressive look this season.

Preparing for Georgia: The Vols face their first road test of the season on Saturday as they take on the Georgia Bulldogs. For the Vols, they will need to get over the Florida win quickly to prepare for

a tough Georgia team.

“This football team (Tennessee) has won ten games in a row so we’ve been able to push the reset button,” Jones said. “We better because I think this will be our toughest challenge to date going on the road, playing a really good football team and a hostile environment.”

For Tennessee, they are now in the drivers seat in the SEC East and a win against Georgia would put them in very good position to top the east.

For senior offensive lineman Dylan Wiseman and the Vols, they are just trying to go one game at a time and not look ahead to a possible chance of playing in the SEC championship.

“We treat every week like that’s the only thing that matters,” Wiseman said on Monday. “We all are just going to focus everything we have on this week. We’re not looking ahead per say to the SEC East or anything, but we are just focusing on Georgia, and we know that if we win all the things that we want to happen down the road are going to happen.”

Injury Update: On Monday, Jones gave an update to two key injuries on the team.

“We’ll know a little bit more about Darrin later in the week,” Jones said. “He’s finally doing some land-running, pool running. It’s very encouraging.

“We fully anticipate Jalen to play in the game. He wanted to be a part of it, wanted to be in the game. Even put himself back in the game. I think the week of recovery he had last week, he should be stronger and more ready to go this week.”

For the Vols, the return of Jalen ReevesMaybin would be huge as they go up against a tough Georgia offense that has players like Jacob Eason, Nick Chubb and Sony Michel.

GRADING THE VOLS Rob Harvey, Asst. Sports Editor

Quarterbacks

A

Despite two really bad interceptions, Josh Dobbs played the best game of his career. Dobbs finished with a career high 319 passing yards and four touchdowns. He also had 80 total rushing yards and a touchdown. Dobbs struggled a little early on, starting one for eight, but he definitely got his act together in the second half and was the MVP of the game.

active as he only had three touches in the game and just six rushing yards. Jalen Hurd had one of his better games of the season as he had 26 carries for 95 yards. Hurd also had two catches for 25 yards and a touchdown.

Wide Receivers

AOffensive Line

B

It was definitely a tale of two halves for the Tennessee receivers and tight ends. In the first half, the group combined for five drops, including at least one that would’ve been a touchdown. In the second half, however, the receivers and tight ends turned it around. Jauan Jennings led the charge with three receptions for 111 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown reception that gave the Vols the lead for good. Ethan Wolf redeemed himself as he caught a very impressive touchdown catch in the second half after dropping two easy passes in the first half. Josh Malone scored a touchdown in his fourth consecutive game on a slant pass that showed speed from Malone that fans have yearned to see.

For the first half, it looked like the offensive line would struggle for the fourth consecutive game. The Florida defense penetrated the Tennessee backfield all first half and provided a lot of pressure. In the second half, the Tennessee offensive line found the chemistry they have been searching for all season and gave Dobbs a good amount of time to throw the ball. Chance Hall’s return definitely helped this group.

alone and totally changed the game for the Vols. A variety of others also contributed to the success the line had in the second half, helping hold Florida to just 11 yards in the third quarter.

The Vols finish with a 3.39 GPA for the week.
