Matt Dixon Sports Editor Poor clock management and a bad snap by LSU sent the Volunteers team rushing onto the field in jubilation with Rocky Top blaring in front of a stunned crowd of 92,932 in Tiger Stadium.

For a few moments, it looked as if Tennessee (2-3, 0-2 SEC) had pulled off the upset over 12th-ranked LSU (5-0, 30) in Baton Rouge, La., on Saturday.

Instead, the Vols were called for illegal participation for having 13 players on the field, giving the Tigers one untimed play, where running back Stevan Ridley scored a 1-yard touchdown to send the Tiger faithful into a frenzy and to give LSU a 16-10 victory over Tennessee.

UT first-year coach Derek Dooley was visibly upset and still in a bit of disbelief following the game, as he thought his team was not given the proper time to make substitutions, which resulted in the illegal participation penalty.

“I’m proud of our football team,” Dooley said in his post-game press conference. “I don’t know if I’ve ever had a loss like that. I guess we’ll get right to the last play. They changed personnel and ran a bunch of guys on the field.

The rules are (the referee) should stand over the ball and give us a chance to substitute. I am going to have to look at the film and see if that was the case. “ Things happened fast and guys didn’t run off the field. The ball was snapped pretty quickly, and so we lose the game. I don’t know what else to say.”

This substitution fiasco comes one week after the Vols played with only 10 defensive players for two plays against UAB in the second overtime period.

The UT defense tried to switch from its goal line package to its base package after LSU ran three receivers on the field, and the confusion caused two defensive linemen to stay on the field, when they should have gone to the sidelines.

Regardless, the Vols suffered a heartbreaking loss in a game where they went toe -to -toe with a much more talented squad in their first road game of the season.

Vols’ quarterback Matt Simms displayed his toughness once again, getting pressured all game from a Tiger defense, which recorded five sacks on the Vols’ signal caller. Despite the constant pass rush, Simms completed 12of-23 passes for 123 yards and added a

Jones’ biggest addition to the UT offense was his ability to move the chains on third downs, an area the Vols struggled desperately in in their first four games of the season. However, they converted seven- of-15 third down conversions against LSU. “ The game was very physical,” Jones said. “I wasn’t worried about my hand.

They were blitzing us from every angle.

Derek Dooley hangs his head after the conclusion of the LSU game in Baton Rouge, La., on Saturday, Oct. 2. The Vols led for most of the fourth quarter, only to commit a costly penalty with no time left on the clock, giving LSU a second opportunity to score the game-winning touchdown. rushing touchdown.

Simms benefited greatly from the return of receiver Gerald Jones, who had been out since breaking a bone in his hand in the season- opening UT-

to rush for 109 yards on 24 carries with a touchdown.

All of the game’s scoring were in the first and fourth quarters.

LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson took the game’s opening snap 83 yards down the middle of the field for a touchdown. The Vols answered late in the first with Poole’s one -yard touchdown run.

After an LSU field goal early in the fourth quarter, the Vols put together its final scoring drive, going 71 yards in eight plays with S imms’ three -yard quarterback keeper putting the Vols up 14-10 with 11:34 remaining.

After Poole was stopped on a fourthand-short at the LSU 31-yard line with 5:41 left in the game, the Tigers went on a 16-play, 69-yard drive, converting on a fourth-and-14 before Ridley ’s touchdown gave the Bayou Bengals the win.

S enior middle linebacker Nick Reveiz could barely put his emotions into words following the game but was confident the Vols would rebound for next week’s game.

“I’ve never been a part of anything like this in my life,” Reveiz said. “ This is the biggest disappointment I’ve ever had in my life. The great thing is we’ve got another opponent next week, and we’re still excited to play, and we’re going to bring the same intensity.”

In the locker room, Dooley told the team that the game’s outcome would be a chance for the each player and the team to grown on and off the field for the future.

“I told them I was proud of them, and that their character was going to get tested more (now) than it would ever get tested,” Dooley said. “ That (game) is a great lesson in life.

Sometimes you do everything right and things don’t go your way. All you can do is move on. That’s what we’re going to do.”

The Vols will move on this Saturday when they travel to Athens, Ga., to take on the Georgia Bulldogs (1-4, 0-2) .

The game will be televised on the SEC Network and will kick off at 12:21 EDT.

Today kicks off an entire week and festivities devoted to music in the National Symposium on Multicultural Music.

The weeklong festivities are sponsored by UT’s School of Music and the National Association for Music Education. The symposium is a biennial event and will be cosponsored this year by Ready for the World.

The registration fee provides access to a variety of musical performances and roundtable discussions about the arts and education. All sessions are free for UT students.

Carley Eagen, music teacher at Mooreland Heights Elementary, will participate in some of the festivities.

She said the symposium is important because it helps teachers who are continuing their educational specializations in multicultural music.

“Today, many different ethnicities enter the music classroom,” she said.

In order to address this change, the NSMM is actively working to enhance multicultural education.

“The NSMM provides a wide variety of authentic resources from different cultures that a teacher might not get from a textbook, Internet or elsewhere,” Eagen said.

Alexis Tidwell, senior majoring in vocal music education, said she felt that teaching music was her calling.

“It was something that I could never get away from,” Tidwell said.

Tidwell said the symposium is very informational, and students training to be teachers can learn a lot of things that apply in music education classrooms.

“It’s an important and great opportunity for educators to brush up and seek information from specialists,” she said.

Eagen said the symposium is helpful in several ways.

“The experience is invaluable, and the time in between the conferences allows teachers to use their new knowledge in successful ways,” she said.

Eagen said students who are interested in expanding their understanding of music from multiple cultures will want to be part of this event.

“Students cannot get this kind of experience anywhere else in the country,” Eagen said.

Daniel Foster, a music education major who is currently student teaching in Chattanooga, said symposiums are necessary for any students who want to teach music.

“If I can take one thing from any workshop or symposium and implement it in a classroom, (I) would consider it a success,” he said. “Once you go to it they teach you how to incorporate it in your teaching environment.”

Forum promotes nuclear energy Chris Bratta Staff Writer Nuclear is no longer a negative word; it’s a positive one, or at least that is what Sherrell Greene and many others advocated at last week’s Science Forum.

Greene explained the current energy problems and the possible solutions in his speech “The Five Imperatives of Nuclear Energy.” As the director of nuclear technology programs at ORNL, Greene explores the energy crisis not only in the U.S., but across the globe.

In his speech, Greene said that a billion people have abundant electricity, and an additional billion people have fair electricity, which means their lack of electricity is not a major imposition.

“2.45 billion people have very limited access,” Green said. “ ... The lights are on two to three hours a day. They know when the electricity will be there, and they can plan to use it, but there isn’t nearly enough electricity available.”

Finally, he explained that 1.5 billion people have no access to electricity at all.

“Access to electricity is a major determinant of the quality of life,” Greene said.

He said that with the continuing growth of industry and population, the need for an affordable energy source is critical.

“If China continues on their current trend, within 10 years they will consume 30 to 40 percent of all of the energy consumed on Earth,” he said.

President Barack Obama’s policy to reduce greenhouse gases by 80 percent before 2050 sparked a great deal of interest for ORNL. Greene produced two hypothetical situations: business as usual, and one he calls “Clean 1.” The business-as-usual approach would actually increase the carbon dioxide emissions from electricity by 30

percent. However, in the “Clean 1” approach, where fossil fuels are completely removed from producing electricity, carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced as much as 80 percent.

“The conclusions from the study show that there needs to be priorities in energy consumption,” Green said. “ ... that nuclear energy must carry the burden, (and that) there needs to be a major reduction in fossil fuels to make a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions.”

Without the reduction in fossil fuels in transportation and process heat to support industrial applications, the carbon dioxide emissions will continue to grow.

Some students learned a lot from Greene’s lecture.

“I found his analysis very interesting and informative,” Ben Bowers, a graduate student in civil engineering, said. “I was amazed that, because people use fossil fuels in transportation, a small dent was made in total reduction of carbon dioxide, even when massive amounts of nuclear energy were used.”

The imperatives of nuclear energy, Greene said, are as follows: extend the life, improve performances and sustain health and safety of the current nuclear energy fleet, enable new plant builds and improve the affordablity of nuclear energy, enable a transition away from fossil fuels in the transportation and industrial sectors, enable sustainable fuel cycles within the nuclear energy created and understand and minimize proliferation risks.

“You don’t need a hole much bigger than an Olympic-sized swimming pool to house every single bit of spent nuclear energy that has every been created,” Greene said.

He also explained a need for public education about nuclear energy, and rules need to be established between governments to help get nuclear energy going.

OPINIONS

LettersEditor to the

Letters address Planned Parenthood concerns

Dear editor, In the Sept. 23, 2010, Opinion section, a letter by a Joshua Carrigan was published. He was responding to a previous editorial by Brandi Panter about contraception, which mentioned Planned Parenthood and founder Margaret Sanger in passing. In it, he brought up Sanger’s advocacy of eugenics, asked readers to ‘Google it’ and proceeded to talk about Nazi Germany.

Unfortunately, I took him up on his offer and found that he failed to note something rather important: Sanger did not support the actions of the Nazis. She openly opposed them, actually. But it is true that eugenics is a ‘very dark, misunderstood and much ignored piece of American history,’ but a fundamental part of that misunderstanding involves treating eugenics as a singular movement. Thus arises the automatic guilt by association of a grievous charge: All who supported anything called eugenics are grouped with Nazis. Now, it is quite true that Sanger endorsed a form of eugenics, and that she bought into racial mythology. However, she did not advocate euthanasia or concentration camps.

Instead, she believed that the genetic improvement of humanity would come about as a consequence of choice for women in the form of contraception, strict control over immigration and sterilization or else separation of the severely retarded from society.

So yes, Margaret Sanger is hardly an icon of modern liberalism, but this does not excuse Carrigan’s careless playing of the Nazi card, a far too common tactic on the part of our modern political right, which, probably not coincidentally, is the sort of website on which one can find such smears. On looking up charges concerning racism and Sanger, I found thousands of anti-abortion sites with lots of supporting quotes for it. But having experienced frequently the sort of treatment Darwin receives from a similar crowd, I felt suspicious, so I found another article which revealed many of these various quotes to be chopped out of context or else plagiarisms of other writers: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2135230.

So to answer Carrigan’s question: “Was Sanger a proponent of a woman’s right not to “carry a pregnancy to term against her will” or a champion of a movement that sought to (oppress) certain groups by doing exactly the (opposite): forcing them into sterility(?)”

Insofar as she was relevant to anything discussed

by Brandi Panter, it is the former. In the unqualified sense that Carrigan uses, it is not the latter. Sterilization was only advocated for the extremely disabled, and this is obviously a separate item from birth control. Now, such history is worth looking into, but this must be done in a careful way, not in the politicized manner which you will find on anti-abortion websites. They treat history with little but contempt, for as far as they are concerned,

it is nothing but a disposable weapon, a polemical storehouse not useful for honest inquiry so much as a mine of possible ways to discredit very extant opponents.

And this is why the Nazis found their way into today’s Opinion section in response to an article about contraceptives which only mentioned Sanger in passing.

Ho hum.

Jesse Parrish Junior in mathematics jparris8@utk.edu Dear editor, This is a response to the Letter to the Editor by Joshua Carrigan on Page 4 of the Daily Beacon on Sept. 23, 2010. I have done my research (on more reliable sources than Wikipedia and Google), and I have come to the conclusion that the attack on Margaret Sanger’s alleged eugenic ideals is founded upon a loosely based collection of rumors started many decades ago. This statement must be taken at face value; Joshua Carrigan has read an open, online article about the supposed intentions of a woman who started an organization for the advance of women’s rights and who died 40 years ago. His statement is meant to demonize an organization that provides comprehensive healthcare for everyone who decides they would like it. On the topic of Eugenics, Sanger refuted these rumors when she stated: Eugenicists imply or insist that a woman’s first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her first duty to the state. We maintain that a woman is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that it is her right to determine whether she shall bear children or not. (The Birth Control Review.

1919a) When it really comes down to it, it really doesn’t matter whether Sanger was a Eugenicist or not. What really matters is that Planned Parenthood provides affordable family planning, comprehensive health care and options concerning reproductive health and birth control to anyone who needs them. Every year, PPMET (Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee) helps thousands of residents, from all ethnicities and socioeconomic climates.

Attempting to slander Planned Parenthood with the allegations presented is like trying to say that The United States Government condones slavery because Thomas Jefferson owned slaves.

‘Sampling’ evolves music, but carries risks No tes on A r t a n d L I te ra t u re by

Amien Essif

Infusing samples of established works of art into a new work is in no way a 21st-century practice. T.S. Eliot created his masterwork “The Waste Land” using this technique, which he called “pastiche.” The rule has always been that if the sample is well enough known, it anchors the new piece of work in history, and if the sampling is done well, the result does not come across as theft.

Of course T.S. Eliot is not the earliest example of a respected artist engaging in sampling, but his legacy is much older and more secure than that of GirlTalk, who is a figurehead of the modern sampling craze, which is more or less my subject here.

I’ll confess: I am in no way an expert on the subject of sampling, by which I mean I don’t spend my free time downloading albums, reading music websites, scrolling through iPods. When I’m at a party and the discussion turns toward GirlTalk or Bassnectar, I quitely bow out and explore the host’s bookshelf for a while.

But what I do know is that there is something very unsettling to me about the way people talk about new songs whose entire musical merit is founded on the quality of the sample, as if the sampler were a genius.

Critics pick on rappers too much, but I’m going to have bring up the song “Mo Money Mo Problems” by the Notorious B.I.G. This piece was for a long time my favorite of the genre. Its rhythm and melody is tight, catchy, upbeat and everything else like in a hiphop song, not to mention the flawless, or perfectly flawed, voices of Biggy, Mase and Puff Daddy.

And during the period of my high school life when I couldn’t get enough of the song, I hadn’t heard Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out” — the original piece that the song samples — in a few years.

Then, when I finally heard it again I was heartbroken.

I had thought that Biggy (assuming he had something to do with the production of the song in the first place) had only “sampled” Diana Ross’ voice and maybe a guitar chord or two. But the fact is, more than half of

what makes “Mo Money Mo Problems” a good song is “I’m Coming Out” — a 20-year-old song.

So where does that leave “Mo Money”? Is it still a good song? Yes, of course. I might even say I prefer it to “I’m Coming Out” in certain ways. For one thing, the beat is better, and it reaches a rhythmical climax that Ross’ song never achieves.

But to cut right to the point, the central problem is that all the artistic effort on the part of the creators of the song and all the listening time and energy and whatnot on the part of the song’s audience, all of that art will eventually fall back into history. It will collapse backward to 1980, when the real song emerged as something new. “Mo Money Mo Problems” is not so much progressive creativity as it is entertainment — an appreciation for something that’s already been done.

A compelling counter-argument is that we shouldn’t give any thought to who deserves credit and who doesn’t. After all, the new song takes the elements of an established song, which society has responded to, and plays with them, infusing them into new songs as if rearranging the DNA of a song, as the website “WhoSampled” calls it. In this way, music and music culture evolves much like an organism or society at large.

But the response is that music, like culture, is always evolving, whether we are conscious of it or not.

Sampling segments or entire melodies directly from established songs carries music culture forward in awkward chunks rather than in a smooth and natural flow.

Because think: Before there was sampling — by which I mean the practice of pasting the actual recorded track in one’s own song — there was a different kind of evolution. Music evolved by a much more complex and natural process in which an artist would internalize the music she had heard, sleep on it, stir it around in her dreams. And then, through inspiration, the artist would produce her own music, which would have been influenced by the geniuses before her.

And she would not have had to steal their stuff.

Yet, despite this sampling craze, it remains true that if an artist has a grasp of her art, she can rearrange the available music DNA in much more complex ways than are possible through sampling.

In the last few weeks, it has become fashionable by political bloggers to scrutinize Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show.” The anomaly is, it seems to be, in every case, by intelligent chaps on the mid-to-mid-far left. Dissent, an online political magazine of “independent-minded radicals,” launched a recent article (http://dissentmagazine.org/atw.php?id=274), which exemplifies what people are alleging against Stewart.

In every case it seems to be in reference to Stewart’s supposed moderation. Steven Benen of the Washington Monthly sums up the concern, saying, “For what it’s worth, my only concern here (regarding the Rally to Restore Sanity) is one that I often hear in the media: the notion that the left and right are equally crazy, and the fringes are driving their respective parties’ agendas. That strikes me as a mistaken assumption.

“Republicans really have moved sharply to the far right and allowed extremists to call the shots, while Truthers and Code Pink have no meaningful influence whatsoever in Democratic politics.”

Dissent says, “It’s admirable to want to apply the same standards to both sides, but straining to manufacture false equivalencies doesn’t accomplish that. Sometimes, honestly applying the same standards to each side will result in a finding that one side, at least in that regard, is actually worse. When that’s the case, a person engaged in truly independent, non-ideological inquiry — rather than the pretense of such — will expressly acknowledge the imbalance, not concoct an equivalency where it doesn’t exist ... " Dissent goes on to apply the principles behind this criticism to earlier times in Stewart’s career, implying that it’s some kind of permeating flaw of the show or the man himself (it doesn’t specify), itself assuming that this has been Jon’s tone … all along?

First of all, this entire outcry of thoughtful accusation takes its stance on an assumption that arises from rhetoric isolated around the Sanity Rally: Jon’s introduction of the rally offhandedly claimed dysfunction on “both sides.” A few examples on both sides were given. No, he did not simply blame the right: boo hoo.

It is a very uncritical overreaction to apply overarching criticisms of the “both sides” rhetoric that had been used to introduce the rally to Jon himself. When the country’s

most influential political figures come on the show, from O’Reilly to Newt to the Clintons, most surviving presidents or anyone representing a political idea of the day, is he impeded by some underlying philosophy of equivalency? No. It’s a false dilemma. Give me evidence of Stewart’s impotency.

Pretenses of “equivalencies” have simply never burdened the show; to bring that subject up only in the less-than-a-month of the rally’s announcement, with its examples of “both sides” for their empty rhetorical extremes, screams of fabrication. I share the suspicion of those claiming to be above the fray ... but Stewart never has and has a poise and objectivity very much IN the fray and with a clear allegiance to consistent values, which no one media personality comes close to touching.

Again, claiming he is hindered, in principle, practice or both, by a preoccupation with party equivalencies, is to conveniently disregard the consistency and integrity with which Stewart reveals political truth. How can I empirically say that Jon isn’t some jaded idealist? I can’t, but I happen to agree with the idea that a philosophy of predetermined equivalency towards our two-party system would be a very artificial and ineffective device when applied to something like, say, a political TV show.

Jon Stewart happens to be very effective, regardless of your politics, gives criticism exactly in the amount and direction these critics seem to approve of (excesses of the right wing), and there is no evidence that he is hindered by anything. Whereas most of TV is guilty of exploiting the emotional nature of politics for ratings, Stewart is bold enough to represent those which the media business models do not acknowledge: those who aren’t interested in politics for the social reinforcement, but for the casual participation it provides them.

It seems especially obvious these days that the media seems built around giving people a fix — uncritical, emotionally charged rhetoric that stimulates something primal in people, a need to feel reinforced, simply by virtue of taking a side. The “moderate” rhetoric employed

by Stewart when introducing the rally, like “I disagree with you, but I’m pretty sure you’re not Hitler,” and “take it down a notch … for America,” does not imply some pretense of party equivalency. Objectivity is not a vain pursuit, and Stewart proves every day that one can be freely opinionated and practice real rhetorical objectivity.

As such, these outcries by various liberal bloggers that Stewart is tied to some kind of self-conscious, political balancing act seems to be a very transparent attempt at being controversial.

ENTERTAINMENT

First Friday promotes local art Chris Bratta Staff Writer Although I left with no art, I did leave First Friday with a greater appreciation for Knoxville's art community. The sheer amount of people who were outside and interacting with each other proves one of the event goals to be successful. Free public viewing of art.

Free live music. Free food. Free Franzia! Also, Friday’s weather provided the perfect stroll to Gay Street. How could anyone skip out on this monthly event?

The Art Gallery of Knoxville featured Ashley Hanna and Kyle Kuykendall, two Knoxville residents who are also engaged to one another. Kuykendall focuses on photography, while Hanna'’s primary works were produced with oil or acrylic paints. Although Hanna does mostly paintings, deep in the back of the gallery were her most interesting pieces. She had done a few small etchings which proved to be different from all of her other work, and it was a shame to see them tucked in a place which many people probably overlooked.

Rala provided an interesting atmosphere with a small circulating crowd and a lone saxophone player, Jason Thompson. As Thompson played melodies from the corner, art enthusiasts came in to view the multitude of art Rala provided. There were plenty of different artists and art forms to mirror the surprisingly different price ranges. This location featured the photographs, multi-dimensional cards, and mixed-media art of Anika Toro.

Her artwork ranged from very simple to very complicated and realistic to abstract.

The most eye-catching pieces at The Art

Market Gallery were by Karen Kyte. Her clay sculptures were interesting in look and material. They consisted mostly of human features, but there were others, such as a tray of olives, which would fit in a kitchen as well as an art gallery. Kyte, along with George Rothery, were both the featured artists.

Rothery’s background was not posted, but by viewing his paintings, one can clearly see his passion for the water, because the majority of his paintings were of ships and other items associated with being on the water.

The Square Room had Justin Helton of Status Serigraph to present his poster artwork. Creating posters for Black Keys, Ween, Jack Johnson, the Avett Brothers, Phish, the Decemberists, the Disco Biscuits and more, Helton showed a more professional side to the art community. The mood and music of the Square Room, for this event, was much less like any of the other galleries downtown and more like the attic of a “dead-head.”

Helton’s colorful and creative posters ranged in style and appearance, but they were nothing shy of a concert poster one might see for extremely popular bands, because in many cases, they were.

First Friday is doing some amazing things in Knoxville, and it is so nice to see a positive change in the area. The more support, the more people that come out, the more artists who participate, the more our art community will flourish. There should be no end in sight for progressing the scene. There has been a serious rebirth in the community as a result of First Friday, and hopefully there will be more art, and more Franzia, to consume with each following month.

Vols’ record does not tell whole story Cross-country faces stiff competition

Matt Dixon Sports Editor Wins and losses don’t reveal true team success or failure.

Following Saturday’s heartbreaking loss to LSU, Tennessee fell to 2-3 on the season and 0-2 in SEC conference play.

That’s not the kind of record fans should ever expect from one of the all-time winningest programs in college football.

But this season is much different from most.

This Volunteers team is not a typical UT team. The players on this team have been through as much adversity as almost any former UT players have, with three head coaches in three seasons and numerous close, last-second losses in the past few years.

Given the shortcomings this team has, talent and depthwise, not to mention playing in the best conference in college football, it is unfair to judge this team based on its record at season’s end.

First-year coach Derek Dooley alluded to this at a press conference earlier in the season, when he said that today’s society, especially the younger generation, which includes his players, seem to

look at a team’s win-loss record or a player’s yards gained or touchdown total as the deciding factor on whether that team or player had success during that game or season.

Dooley said this was not a good way to judge success, and I agree.

What difference does the LSU loss have when fans will judge UT’s season? One more win to add to the win column?

A Peach Bowl bid instead of a Music City Bowl bid? Would Tauren Poole rushing for only 950 yards, as opposed to 1,000, not make him a good running back?

Anyone who saw the game Saturday saw a Vols team, which had squeaked by an average-at-best ConferenceUSA team at home in overtime the week before, outplay and especially outcoach a Tigers team that is one of the most talented teams in America and was playing at home in one of the most intimidating stadiums in college football.

Dooley had his team ready to play, from the coach’s gameplan to the player’s execution, and the Vols played arguably their best game of the season to date, when no one thought they would (the experts had them as 16.5-point underdogs).

While judging this UT team solely by its wins and losses at the end of the season will more than likely bring disappointment, fans need to look at the team’s overall body of work before making a decision on whether the season was successful or not.

Some will argue that anything less than an SEC title is failure in Knoxville, and while that might have been the case five years ago and will be five years down the road, this team never realistically had a chance to make it to Atlanta to play in the SEC Championship game this season.

Instead, fans should’ve been looking for a team that played hard for 60 minutes, never quit when faced with adversity and, most importantly, worked hard each day to get better and improve as the season progresses.

During the first five games of the season, the Vols have seen many highs and lows.

Fans can agree, though, that the Vols have played hard since the second half against Oregon and didn’t give up when the breaks went against them against Florida and UAB. And on Saturday in a hostile environment against LSU, the Vols fulfilled all three of these expectations. They played hard for 60 minutes, they didn’t give up when LSU scored on the first play of the game, and they showed a lot of improvement from the previous week, especially on defense.

While this one game doesn’t mean the Vols will live up to these expectations the rest of the season, after all this is still a young team learning how to win consistently in the SEC, the way they played in Death Valley on Saturday should give fans positive vibes as the Vols get ready to play Between the Hedges this week at Georgia.

“We need to do a better job of getting out and getting positions and maintaining our positions, as opposed to falling back in the field,” he said.

Men Women The men’s cross-country team traveled to Along with the men’s team, the Lady Vols ran Bethlehem, Pa., Friday to take part in the Brooks a 6,000-meter race at the Brooks Paul Short Paul Short Run at Lehigh University.

“We’re not worried about that; we’re not in a meter course. Spooner’s time was 10th best overall time for SEC performers at this distance this position to worry about that,” Clark said about the level of competition. “We’re just trying to season.

“I think I performed to my expectations,” come out and improve every weekend.”
