Vols squander early opportunities, fall to Georgia 41-0 Tyler Wombles

Sports Editor Tennessee’s contest against Georgia on Saturday acted itself out exactly as predicted by many fans and analysts.

Facing a squad that had easily defeated Mississippi State 31-3 the week before, it wouldn’t have mattered if Tennessee connected on another long touchdown like the one that ended last year’s contest, as the Vols were never close enough on the scoreboard to scare their opponent.

The Vols were shut out by the Bulldogs, never able to find any momentum on either side of the ball and falling to Georgia 41-0.

“I think it’s an accumulation effect when you have opportunities to make plays relatively early in the game, and you don’t,” head coach Butch Jones said. “You lose those opportunities. We had some opportunities for some big plays on offense … We dropped a couple of interceptions (on defense), and I think everything snowballs from there.

“When you’re playing a team as good as

Volume 134 Issue 11

Georgia, every opportunity you get to make a play, you have to make a play.”

After the Bulldogs intercepted Quinten Dormady’s first pass of the game, kicker Rodrigo Blankenship nailed a 38-yard field goal to give Georgia a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter.

Freshman signal caller Jake Fromm found Javon Wims in the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown midway through the first period, notching a 10-0 Georgia lead at the end of the quarter.

Fromm scored on two separate touchdown runs — one from nine yards out and the other from four yards out — during the second quarter to put the Bulldogs ahead 24-0 heading into halftime.

Georgia didn’t score again until the last minute of the third quarter when Sony Michel ran for a 21-yard touchdown carry. Blankenship’s PAT gave the Bulldogs a 31-0 advantage.

Redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano relieved Dormady during the fourth quarter, but the switch wasn’t enough to spark Tennessee’s maligned offense. Guarantano was 6-of-7 passing for 16 yards against the Bulldogs.

“Very concerned (with the offense),” Jones

said. “We never established any rhythm. We did not establish any tempo. I don’t think we had any explosive plays. We have to up the tempo.

We need explosive plays, and we need consistency when running the football.

“It was as bad of an offensive performance as I’ve ever been a part of, and it’s inexcusable.”

Dormady was blunt when describing the team’s offensive woes against Georgia.

“Just a lot of missed opportunities,” Dormady said. “That’s really what it comes down to.”

Brian Herrien scored for Georgia on a oneyard carry with 12:00 remaining in the fourth quarter, giving the Bulldogs a 38-0 lead.

Backup kicker David Marvin made a 19-yard field goal with just over five minutes remaining in the game, notching the contest it’s 41-0 score line.

Dormady was 5-of-16 passing for 64 yards and two interceptions for Tennessee. Running back John Kelly carried the ball 16 times for 44 yards.

Kelly also led the Vols in receiving with 47 yards on four catches. Freshman Ty Chandler, also a running back, followed with 15 yards on

three catches.

The Vols will take next week off, then face South Carolina at Neyland Stadium on Oct. 14.

The Gamecocks bested Tennessee 24-21 last season.

“We’ll go back and we’ll dissect every single video that we have,” Jones said. “Finding the right eleven that want to compete every single day in practice … We have to make sure that we look at anything and everything.

“Every position is up for look in the bye week.

We have no starting positions. We’ll compete during the bye week and the individuals who have the best week of practice and the best week of preparation for South Carolina will be the ones that are on the field first.”

Senior defensive lineman Kendal Vickers felt after Saturday’s game that Tennessee’s bye week will test what the players on the team are made of.

“This week is going to show a lot about everybody’s character and what type of men we’ve got in that locker room,” Vickers said. “It’s not an off week, it’s a work week. We’ve got to learn from our mistakes. We have to get better.”

On Sunday, Oct. 1, protesters gathered downtown in support of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

The protest and march began on 800 Market St. and ended at Market Square, where there were featured speakers and the opportunity for protest participants to write letters to their local representatives. And while there were others in Market Square who did not support DACA, there were no counter-protesters.

Knoxville Dreamers, Allies of Knoxville’s Immigrant Neighbors (AKIN), Women’s March Coalition, Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), UT Latin American Student Organization (LASO) and UT Spanish Club helped organize and sponsor the rally and march.

The protest comes in the wake of the Trump administration’s announcement that it would rescind the DACA program.

DACA is an Obama-era immigration policy that began in 2012, allowing certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors — called “Dreamers” — to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. Nearly 800,000 recipients have joined the program to live, work and study in the states.

One of the biggest campaign promises of President Donald Trump was ending the DACA program. As Trump’s term marked its ninth month, many politicians and Americans were uneasy with the president’s delayed action and indecisiveness. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and nine other attorney generals, including Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery III, filed a lawsuit against the president.

The lawsuit gave Trump until Sept. 5, 2017 to rescind the program. Slatery, however, decided to back out of the lawsuit before the Trump administration made any official announcements.

Then, on Tuesday, Sept. 5, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Trump’s plan to rescind DACA after claiming the program was a prime example of executive overreach.

Trump gave Congress until Mar. 5, 2018 to find a solution.

And if Congress cannot find a suitable replacement before the deadline, nearly 300,000 immigrants will lose their protected status in 2018 and 320,000 recipients will lose it in 2019. However, Trump also said he would be willing revisit the problem at the end of the period if Congress cannot find a legislative solution.

The Trump administration also added that those with visas set to expire during the fivemonth period will be able to renew their twoyear applications until Oct. 5.

“I’m very perturbed by the idea that undocumented immigrants have been set up as a scapegoat for all of the problems in the United States, and that we have public discourse that’s demonizing this population in a way that’s dehumanizing, mean-spirited,” De Ann Pendry, senior lecturer at UT’s department of anthropology, co-founder AKIN and one of the speakers at the rally, said.

Pendry said that there should be a way for DACA recipients to regularize their status.

“There are now Dreamers who are actually older than 30,” Pendry said. “Especially for Dreamers, this is the country they identify with — provide them a way to regularize their status. It would be so simple, and it’s the right thing to do.”

Prior to the march to Market Square, business liaison with the City of Knoxville Patricia Robledo spoke on behalf of Knoxville mayor Madeline Rogero. “(Rogero) wanted you all to know that she supports the continuation of DACA and the rights of Dreamers to fully participate in the life of our community and our country,” Robledo said.

In Robledo’s address, she also said that DACA has helped many people that are part of the Knoxville and Tennessee community

and that these recipients have helped the community as well.

“Those Dreamers in turn have helped all of us through their contributions to their families, our economy and our culture,” Robledo said.

“We all benefit when people are free to pursue education and career goals. It doesn’t make any sense to impose barriers to people who just want to be productive and contribute to our community.”

While Knoxville is not a sanctuary city for immigrants, Rogero is known for supporting comprehensive immigration reform.

On the way to Market Square, protesters chanted phrases like, “A country united will never be divided,” “Love trumps hate,” “Education not deportation,” “We stand with Dreamers” and “No hate, no fear; immigrants are welcome here.”

At Market Square, other than Pendry, speakers also included: Rosendo Lozano, Jose “Luis” Pedraza, senior in political science and theater and president of LASO, president of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Rev. John Butler, and reverend at Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church Tandy Scheffler.

While not a DACA recipient himself, Pedraza said that DACA impacts everyone, not just the direct recipients.

“I know what it’s like to live everyday in fear of one of your loved ones being deported,” Pedraza said. “For these DACA recipients, their families relied upon them — their families who weren’t eligible for DACA ... It’s not just the DACA recipients, it’s their families and their friends and relatives and their neighbors who are going to be affected by this. This affects all of us. It’s not just the 11 million undocumented; it’s not just the 8,300 here in Tennessee who have DACA currently. It’s beyond that; it’s all 300 million of us, plus.”

President revises travel ban, UT students react Paige Greene

Contributor On Sept. 24, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation revising his oft-contested travel ban for a second time.

The ban targets countries determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security to have “‘inadequate identity-management protocols, information-sharing practices and risk factors.”

The changes outlined in the proclamation include the addition of three new countries to the ban. The ban now places restrictions on travel from eight nations: Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.

Chad had been cooperative with the United States in its counterterrorism efforts, but citizens will now face restrictions concerning entry into the states. The nation’s addition to the list is based largely on the operation of several terrorist groups within or near the nation’s borders.

The proclamation also barred citizens of North Korea from entering the US. North Korean travelers will not be admitted to the states because the country has failed to cooperate with the US “in any respect.”

The Trump administration suspended the travel of many Venezuelan government officials to the US due to their failure to share informa-

tion deemed critical to national security and public safety.

Sudan, which has been classified as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1993, was dropped from the travel ban without mention. In a press conference Wednesday, a reporter asked Trump to justify this decision.

“Well, the people, yeah, the people allowed certain countries – but we can add countries very easily and we can take countries away,” Trump said.

The administration has offered no further explanation of Sudan’s exemption. The new travel ban will go into full effect Oct. 18 without a definite expiration date.

Like its predecessors, the new version of the travel ban is controversial, garnering both support and condemnation from conservatives and liberals alike.

The ban faced legal opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union, which claimed that the ban unfairly discriminated against Muslims. The ban has been decried by many others, including the Human Rights Campaign and former President George W. Bush.

Among the ban’s critics is President of the UT College Democrats and junior majoring in communication studies, Caroline Cranford.

Cranford said that the travel ban is rooted in Islamophobia.

“Throughout his campaign, he promised that he would target Muslims if he became president,” Cranford said. “This is one of the few major campaign promises that he hasn’t failed at, unfortunately. His stated purpose of doing this to protect us is one of the dozens and dozens of statements he makes with no regard to truth or fact. The Department of Homeland Security has evidence that people from these countries are not more likely to commit any sort of terrorist activity.”

Cranford added that she thought the newest changes made to the travel ban were made to save face. “(The purpose of these changes) would be to make it seem like it’s a ‘travel ban’ instead of the ‘Muslim ban’ he promised his base when he was campaigning on that xenophobic promise,” Cranford said.

Trump supporters say that the ban has nothing to do with religion and is an appropriate measure of national security.

“Making America Safe is my number one priority,” Trump tweeted Sunday, along with a link to the proclamation. “We will not admit those into our country we cannot safely vet.”

Savanna Jacoby, Communications Director at UT College Republicans and junior double majoring in journalism and political science, agreed.

Making America “safe is my number one priority. We will not admit those into our country we cannot safely vet.

”

Donald Trump “The administration is trying to protect our citizens,” Jacoby said. “They want foreign powers to improve their security and share more information with the US government so that we are able to dodge any legal issues.”

Despite critics’ fears, Jacoby does not foresee the ban having any negative consequences.

“All I see is that the President and the administration want to move along with a better vetting process,” Jacoby said. “They want Americans to feel safe and if that takes some time, then that’s what will happen. We need to protect the US from foreign enemies.”

Beacon Beats: All All About the Ladies 3/5 “Tell Me You Love Me” ANTICIPATION: Demi Lovato has continued to break out of her Disney-star reputation since her 2015 release of - Demi Lovato

“Confident.” I expect plenty of her newfound love of singing about risqué subjects from this album, especially since “Sorry Not Sorry” has turned heads and filled radio waves. The song is big, bad and bodacious, inciting curiosity for the rest of the album. Lovato talks a big game; I’m interested to see what this new chapter sounds like.

DURING: 1/5 Demi Lovato tries way too hard on “Tell Me You Love Me.” Each song sounds like she’s trying to out-crazy, out-sexy or out-whatever the girl she was talking about in the song before. I found her excessive use of expletives, especially the F-word, to be exhausting and conventional. It seemed to take away from the true meaning of the songs and made them sound like an angsty teenager had written them.

Even an appearance from rap artist Lil Wayne on “Lonely” couldn’t save this album.

AFTER: 2/5

Courtesy of iTunes

“Tell Me You Love Me” is Demi Lovato pushing her new image to its limits. She wants to be a downand-dirty kind of artist, but she hasn’t quite found the medium between being a bad girl and being just plain bad. Lovato has the voice and songwriting abilities to go far, but she’s got to work on her delivery.

These songs will blend in with every other pop song on the radio.

ANTICIPATION: 4/5

“Younger Now” - Miley Cyrus

After her release of the hit song “Malibu,” Miley Cyrus has the world watching for what she’s going to do next. She seems to have settled down and is trying to get back to her roots. I’ve watched Miley Cyrus since she first started as Hannah Montana, and it’s been a bumpy ride as she’s tried to rid herself of her Disney image. “Bangerz” was something the world had never seen from the pop princess; “Younger Now” is the same.

DURING: 5/5 This album flows beautifully. It really showcases her voice and songwriting abilities. It’s real, welldone music. She reveals personal experiences with almost every song, letting the world into her life, her loves and the struggles she’s gone through while trying to find her true self. With the title track of “Even though it’s not who I am, I’m not afraid of who I used to be,” Cyrus is most likely referring to her wild side she’s exposed over the past few years. The instrumentals throughout the album are masterful and take the tracks to another level. “Younger Now” also features a duet with country star Dolly Parton, Cyrus’s godmother. Their song “Rainbowland” is a dream of a world with no judgement or fear and includes a sweet phone call from Parton to Cyrus.

AFTER: 5/5 Courtesy of iTunes

“Now” - Shaina Twain

Miley Cyrus has created a work of art in “Younger Now.” She shows the world a genuine, honest version of herself, and seems much more comfortable with the music she’s making. Its slightly country twang and charismatic nature make it a classic. Fans of the old and new Miley will find this album a breath of fresh air. I see big things in the future for “Younger Now” and its creator.

ANTICIPATION: 4/5 “Now” is Shania Twain’s first studio album since 2002, and fans are ready for new music. The country/pop artist has been filling a residency in Las Vegas while working on the new music. I grew up listening to Twain’s older music with hits like, “Forever And For Always” and “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?,” so I’m looking forward to seeing if she’ll stick to her roots or try something new.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered someone who couldn’t at least hum along to “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!,” perhaps her most popular song.

DURING: 4/5 This album is classic Shania Twain. The album’s opening number, “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed” is fun, upbeat and proves Twain still has that magic power to produce hits. She fuses her country roots with her pop techniques throughout the album to create a unique collection of music. Her track “Where Do You Think You’re Going” is a powerful ballad about her love leaving, thinking he can just leave her behind. Twain is fierce one minute and emotional the next, leaving listeners with a song for any occasion.

AFTER: 5/5 Courtesy of iTunes

After 15 years without new music, Shania Twain did not disappoint. “Now” is dynamic and spirited.

She showed the world that talent never gets old, and honest music will always be in style. Twain has some serious radio hits on her hands, so don’t expect this to be the last you’ve heard of her. The countrypop queen is back, and she’s ready to take on the world.

International Fest celebrates colorful cultures on campus Neeley Moore

Copy Editor An arch of colorful balloons welcomed campus to this year’s International Festival on Friday.

The International Festival is an opportunity for international students to celebrate and share with the campus through food, dance or décor — things that aren’t found every day — but are every day important aspects of their home countries.

Although it was only mid-morning, the crowds were already gathering, browsing the art and food representing many different cultures and countries.

Among the tables and activities, a trivia contest was underway with prizes awarded to the students with the most knowledge about geography and culture. Participants were asked about many worldly facts including the length of the Great Wall of China and the name of the tallest mountain in Africa.

Dance performances added life to the middle of the festival. Traditional dances showcasing the customs and rituals of some countries took place during the festival.

Attendees watched as the performers danced around in their colorful costumes and visited booths along Pedestrian Walkway. The booth representing Saudi Arabia attracted a rather large crowd.

“I think my culture (Saudi Arabian) is the most wonderful culture,” Roha Alblowi, junior, said. “It’s one of the oldest cultures out there. I’m proud to share it with many others.”

Alblowi showed students an item from Saudi Arabia called a miswalk, which comes from the root of a Peelu tree, known for its fibrous branches. The miswalk is used to brush one’s teeth. To brush, simply scrap some bark off the end and chew. The booth sold these organic toothbrushes for $1.

The Nepal booth also welcomed hordes of people. Nepali students earnestly told interested attendees about the decorations and food of their homeland. Their table was full of interesting objects from necklaces worn

by Nepali women, knives once used for war, a rectangular map of their home country and a hat for men called a dhaka topi, which they let people try on.

A collection of Nepali instruments were also on the table, which the students used later on in the day to have a quick, but lively, musical performance.

Bottom: A student receives a Henna tattoo at the International Festival on Ped Walkway on Sept 29, 2017. Annie Carter / Contributer public health, shared her knowledge about the culture behind many of the items at their booth and offered mango juice to attendees.

“Back at home (Nepal), mangos are very popular,” Poudel said. “At my parents house, they have 15 different mango trees in their yard.”

Bikrash Bogasti was excited about the festival and the chance to share his Nepali culture.

“When I got to know about the fest, I was

so very excited,” Bogasti said. “My country is so small — between China and Indi, but there’s a lot there people don’t know about.

We have several ethnic groups — over 100 groups.”

After browsing booths, attendees could grab lunch from one of the many countries’ tables. The Persian students expressed that food from their culture is extremely hard to come by overseas, so they’re glad for chances to cook it for others.

Chekhov’s ‘Three Sisters’ is an emotional, historical play Noe Monarrez

Contributor Three steps in the door and it all hits you: the lights, the sounds, the set and the atmosphere.

Michael Fry, director of “Three Sisters,” clearly researched the time period well and made perfect decisions to establish the era for the audience. As you walk into the Carousel Theatre, you are immediately transported into early 20th century Russia.

The lively jive playing on the speakers feels distinctly foreign — not quite modern but not too antique either. The dim lights create an atmosphere of mystery and drama, only illuminating certain spots onstage and leaving the rest for a future dramatic reveal. The rugs and hanging paintings immediately feel inviting, giving the audience an intimate look into a traditional Moscow home.

As the play opens, the three sisters enter the stage in the dark from behind the house. The Courtesy of Clarence Brown Theater lights come on to reveal their unique poses and “oomph” but never quite fully grasping it. they jump straight into conversation.

The story progresses, divulging relationships Charlotte Munson, Lauren Pennline and between characters. The names of characters Careléne Pochette displaying well the extreme are in Russian, but since the actors speak in emotions which are difficult to portray on their typical accents, the play is easy to under- command.

That said, this play is not for those who they portray, establishing an intense mood and crave an action-packed, fast-paced story; this maintaining it throughout the performance.

The pain, heartbreak, loss and tension feel production is clearly aimed at a more mellow thick inside the theatre during the first half of target audience.

If you’re looking for a story different than one the second act. However, as the act proceeds, you’re used to, one full of loss, distress and slow the story begins to feel somewhat hollow.

The plot itself constantly seems to yearn for storytelling, then “Three Sisters” is the perfect an extra element, almost reaching that extra opportunity.

Quarterback: On the very first play of the game, Quinten Dormady was intercepted by the Bulldogs in Tennessee territory. That play may have summed up the night for quarterbacks, as Dormady finished the game 5-for-16 with 64 yards passing and two interceptions. Jarrett Guarantano came in to replace Dormady late in the third, but didn’t provide much of a spark, finishing 6-for-7 with just 16 yards passing.

Grade: D

Running Back: Up to this point in the season, the run game was able to pick up the passing offense when they struggled, but they couldn’t shoulder the load this Saturday. John Kelly has been the heart and soul of the Vols’ offense this season, but even he had a fumble after picking up 44 yards on a reception. As a team, the Vols finished with just 62 yards rushing. Ty Chandler and John Kelly did lead the team in receptions, but only the Kelly fumble went for more than nine yards.

Grade: D+

Wide Receivers/Tight Ends: The Bulldogs made it no secret how they wanted to cover the Vols’ receivers. Their corners played jam coverage and man-to-man all across the board. This gave the receiving corps problems. Receivers struggled throughout the entire game to gain separation from Bulldog defenders. Brandon Johnson and Marquez Callaway were the Vols’ two receiving threats through the first four games, but they both were held to no catches. Of Tennessee’s 11 completions, receivers and tight ends only accounted for three.

Grade: D

Offensive Line: The running game and passing game weren’t able to get much going offensively, and the offensive line played a factor in that. The Vols shifted Brett Kendrick to left guard and started Marcus Tatum at right tackle. It was the first time this season that this was the team’s starting offensive line, and they struggled in both facets of the game offensively. There weren’t many running holes for Kelly to exploit and they also gave up three sacks. Center Jashon Robertson also had a fumble on a snap while the Vols were in Georgia territory looking to score.

Defensive Line: It was no secret; the defensive line knew what they were up against with the Bulldogs’ rushing attack. At the end of the first quarter, the Bulldogs had only seven rushing yards — but they picked up the pace. As the Bulldogs’ offense started moving the ball, they went no huddle, making it difficult for many of the Vols’ defensive linemen to keep up. For the game, the defense allowed 294 yards rushing because they were simply worn down. Kendal Vickers had nine tackles and a sack to lead the way on the defensive line.

Grade: D+

Linebacker: Just like the defensive lineman, the linebackers played a huge role in containing the Bulldogs’ rushing attack in the first quarter, but there wasn’t much else after that point. Early in the first quarter, linebacker Quart’e Sapp played a ball in the air perfectly and narrowly missed an interception in a drive that resulted in a touchdown.

Colton Jumper added a crushing sack, coming from the blindside of Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm. While Jumper got to Fromm that time, the linebackers missed several opportunities to contain Fromm from taking off with his feet.

Grade: C-

Secondary: With the Bulldogs up 10-0, Vols cornerback Justin Martin dove to the ground and grabbed his first interception of the season. It could’ve happened earlier in the game when an interception was juggled and dropped by Emmanuel Moseley after being tipped by Sapp. The sec-

ondary was in position for the most part of the game and only allowed 84 yards through the air.

Their rushing attack was the Bulldogs’ clear focal point, so the Vols secondary had to not give up the big play through the air. They didn’t, but the Bulldogs did complete some crucial passes that continued drives.

Grade: C+

Special Teams: The Tennessee football team prides themselves on special teams play and Saturday wasn’t up to their normal standard. With the offense going scoreless, Aaron Medley had a very quiet day with just one touchback. There was nothing happening in the return game either. Trevor Daniel, who has been punting missiles off of his foot, had some struggles. At one point, Daniel tried to rugby-style punt a ball, but it didn’t get enough height to clear blockers and was hit by a Bulldogs defender. Daniel also hit a booming 56-yard punt, but he didn’t get enough air on it, resulting in an 18-yard Bulldogs return.

Grade: C-

Coaching: Not much went right for the coaches.

Offensively, Butch Jones tried to turn to Guarantano after Dormady’s struggles, but that yielded zero points. With the Bulldogs press man coverage, the Vols did attempt a couple of deep shots to no avail. Defensively, Bob Shoop seemed to have the young freshman quarterback rattled early on, as he had trouble diagnosing the blitzes.

With the Bulldogs having the ball for 35 minutes, it was hard for Shoop to maintain his defensive aggressiveness.

Grade: D+
