Pride Center flags vandalized again Christopher Salvemini Asst. News Editor

Less than a month after an unknown suspect tore down a large flag in front of the Pride Center, another act of vandalism has occured.

On Saturday, October 15 at 3:15 a.m., a white male wearing khaki shorts, a dark colored t-shirt, a light baseball cap and tennis shoes tore off a small rainbow flag draped over the fence outside the Pride Center.

“I’ve not seen any evidence that they connect, but I am not going to say that they do or they don’t,” Investigator Kelley Spencer with the UTPD said.

The incident is an actionable offense that is

Volume 132 Issue 39

being investigated by UTPD. The incident last month, when the larger flag was torn and a hateful note reading “(F-slur) gets more AIDS #ImWithHer” was left, is being investigated by UTPD as well.

“We actively investigate all these cases,” Spencer said.

Later in the afternoon on Saturday, a group of five people removed the large flag from the ground, but it was replaced by a witness soon after.

A second witness, Johnathan Thomas, who was with the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship’s Multiethnic Tailgate, caught up with the group as they left. Two members of the group later apologized for the flag being taken down.

“We then followed them across the street and talked to the three at which the guy who tore

down the flag apologized and said that they were just really drunk. After they apologized, we left them,” Thomas said.

Thomas later called UTPD to report the incident. Investigator Spencer said that the second Saturday incident is not being considered an actionable offense.

“We want people to know that we stand in solidarity with all people and with respect for all people. When things like this happen, we want people to know that they will not get away with it,” Thomas said. “But if you come forward and confess, I will forgive you.”

Anyone with information about the incident last month or the incident on Saturday morning involving the smaller flag should contact UTPD at 865-974-3114 or through email at utpolice@ utk.edu.

Samsung phones banned from flights

Iraqi launches military offensive of last ISIS stronghold

Pink: Legal but deadly opioid circulating the nation

Off the heels of Samsung’s announcement that the Note 7 is officially out of production, the U.S. Department of Transportation has banned all Samsung Note 7s from being taken on flights. The phones have had a string of issues since release in September, including reports of phones becoming so warm that an internal fire is started, causing the entire phone to be engulfed in flames. On their decision to ban the phones entirely from airports and flights, transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said, “We recognise that banning these phones from airlines will inconvenience some passengers, but the safety of all those aboard an aircraft must take priority.”

Iraqi military forces have launched an offensive movement to take back the ISIS controlled city of Mosul, currently ISIS’ largest territory and last stronghold in Iraq.

Hours after the fighting broke out, the Iraqi military released a statement claiming they had inflicted heavy casualties on ISIS occupants of Mosul. The Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi reiterated the military’s statements Monday night during a televised news conference by officially announcing the military’s decision to free the more than one million residents of Mosul from the tyrannical rule of ISIS.

A legal opioid, eight times stronger than heroine, is beginning to circulate in communities across the country. U-47700, or pink, is a deadly synthetic opioid on the rise among the teenage demographic due to its accessibility in the the market. The drug is being produced in China and is shipped to the U.S. for less than $10 in total. Currently, it can be purchased legally in all but four states via the internet. The DEA is taking initial steps to reclassify pink as a schedule 1 substance under the federal Controlled Substance Act, but only a temporary ban is expected.

The temporary ban would allow for the DEA to perform tests on the substance to determine if it should be permanently banned.

A new class at the University of Tennessee hopes to teach life and academic skills that will aid students with autismspectrum disorders through college.

The Korn Learning, Assessment and Social Skills Center (KLASS) at UT will launch a program next fall designed to help students with autism-spectrum disorders on campus. The program, titled Post-Secondary Autism Support Services (PASS), will be headed by UT’s Brian Wilhoit and Carolyn Blondin.

“The PASS program will offer a twohour weekly credit bearing course that incorporates an intensive structured curriculum for students to develop and practice necessary academic and life skills, two areas often problematic for individuals with autism spectrum disorders,” Wilhoit said.

Wilhoit also said PASS will also provide participants with one-hour weekly sessions of individualized peer mentoring and collaboration with faculty, staff and parents.

All PASS program services will be carried out by advanced doctoral students or interns in the School Psychology program

at UT, with close supervision by the KLASS Center’s licensed psychologists.

Program coordinator Blondin sees PASS as an initiative to reach out to students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) on campus and provide them with a support system during their college careers.

“We are hopeful that the PASS program will help students with ASD to have increased independence, improved relationships amongst other peers as well as UT staff and faculty and stronger problem-solving and conflict resolution skills,” Blondin said. “In our consultation with educators and other university staff, we also aim to increase their knowledge of working with this population.”

PASS is also reaching out to the greater Knoxville community, especially high schools, as a means to discuss services available at UT for individuals with ASD. Blondin was recently invited to speak at a staff meeting held for Knox County school district’s speech and language pathologists to educate Knoxville’s larger academic community on the upcoming program.

It is estimated that up to 1.7 percent of undergraduate students nationally have some form of autism or significant symptoms of ASD, including milder forms like

Brian Wilhoit, Ph.D., director for Korn Learning, Assessment, & Social Skills (KLASS) Center • Courtesy of the University of Tennessee Asperger’s Syndrome.

“We think up to approximately 375 undergraduate students at UT could meet criteria for ASD,” Wilhoit said. “We don’t have any good data on graduate students, but I think it would be safe to say that the prevalence rates would be at least similar to undergraduates.”

To find out more about the PASS program, individuals are encouraged to contact Blondin or Wilhoit at (865) 974-6177 or at Klass@utk.edu.

Mental Health Awareness Week kicks off on Ped Walkway Shelby Whitehead Staff Writer

Students walking past Hodges Library were greeted with music and the smiling faces of fellow students who hosted Mental Health Awareness Week.

SGA is setting up camp on Pedestrian Walkway this week to help students identify and get informed about the mental health struggles many college students face every day.

“We’re hosting a Mental Health Awareness Week in response to things that have happened around campus, just to end the stigma and start the conversation around mental health,” Sherilyn Hammonds, UT senior and director of communications for SGA, said.

The concept is best expressed through the multicolored rubber bracelets being handed out. Each bracelet color represents a different struggle of students, including trauma, depression, anorexia, anxiety and suicide.

Each bracelet reads, “You’re Not the Only One,” which is apparent by the large number of students who have already pledged to wear the bracelets.

“I think people typically feel like they are

We just want them to know that they are not the only one going through that.”

Caitlyn McCandless, senior and director of SGA student services

the only ones struggling with something, whether that’s anxiety, depression (or) an eating disorder,” Caitlyn McCandless, senior and director of SGA student services, said. “We just want them to know that they are not the only one going through that.”

When a student wears a bracelet, they identify themselves as one of many who struggle with a mental health illness. SGA’s goal is to provide a way for students to see that they are

not alone, forming a bond with other students facing these challenges.

“I am wearing a red bracelet for anxiety, so if someone else sees that I’m wearing this they’ll be like, ‘Oh, you struggle with this too. Can I talk to you about it?’” McCandless said.

Also written on the bracelets in bold font is “974-HELP,” the Center for Health Education and Wellness’s referral line for student health and well-being. The line is operated by staff members Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. After-hours calls are answered by UTPD. SGA’s Mental Health Awareness Week will take place on Ped Walkway from 9 a.m. -- 2 p.m. and in Hodges Library from 7 p.m. -- 10 p.m. through Friday, Oct. 21.

Events for the week include a ball pit, group yoga and therapy dogs, all of which hope to address the vast mental health struggles amongst college students.

“We’re trying to create that sense of community on campus,” Hammonds SGA set up a booth on Pedestrian Walkway said.

Students can find a schedule of to promote mental health awareness week.

Austrian government to demolish house of Hitler’s birth Associated Press

VIENNA — The house where Adolf Hitler was born will be torn down and replaced with a new building that has no association with the Nazi dictator, Austria’s government announced Monday as it moved to eliminate the property’s pull as a place of pilgrimage for neo-Nazis.

The plan still has to be formalized in legislation and voted on in Parliament. But the Interior Ministry said demolition was recommended by a government-appointed commission.

With the Social Democratic and centrist People’s Party in the majority, and most opposition parties expected to support the plan, passage was likely no more than a formality.

Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said that “a thorough architectural remodeling is necessary to permanently prevent the recognition and the symbolism of the building.”

Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck said that means that except for its foundations,

nothing will be left of the house in the western town of Braunau and that a new structure will be erected in its place.

A ministry statement emailed to The Associated Press quoted Sobotka saying he wants to ensure that any association with Hitler

The government this year launched formal legal procedures to dispossess the home’s owner after she had repeatedly refused to sell the building or to allow renovations that would reduce its symbolic impact as Hitler’s birthplace — and its

is eliminated at the site, adding that he could conceive of it being repurposed to house either government or social agency offices.

The statement said the commission had recommended against leaving the site empty, which could be interpreted as an attempted “denial of

Wolfgang Sobotka, Interior Minister draw for admirers of the Fuhrer.

The statement said the Interior Ministry planned to finalize a draft law making the house state property before putting it to a vote in Parliament by the end of the year.

Vienna’s Jewish community and a govern-

ment-supported anti-Nazi research center support tearing down the imposing three-story yellow house, where Hitler was born on April 20, 1889.

But some historians argue that the house and the apartment inside where the Hitler family lived briefly should be preserved specifically because they are among the few surviving structures linked to the Nazi leader.

A house in nearby Leonding, where Hitler lived as a teenager, is now used to store coffins for the town cemetery. There, the tombstone marking the grave of Hitler’s parents, another pilgrimage site for neo-Nazis, was removed last year at the request of a descendant.

A school that Hitler attended in Fischlham, also near Braunau, displays a plaque condemning his crimes against humanity.

The underground bunker in Berlin where Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945, was demolished and the site left vacant until the East German government built an apartment complex around it in the late 1980s.

The apartments overlook the German capital’s monument to victims of the Holocaust.

Russia sets brief cease-fire for Aleppo as strikes kill 36 Associated Press

BEIRUT — Russian and Syrian forces will halt hostilities for eight hours in the eastern districts of Aleppo, Russia’s military announced on Monday, a day on which opposition activists said their airstrikes killed at least 36 people, including several children, in and around the divided city.

The two militaries will observe a “humanitarian pause” between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Oct. 20 to allow civilians and militants safe passage out of the city, Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoi of Russia’s general staff said in Moscow. Militants, the wounded and sick would be allowed to evacuate to the neighboring rebel-held province of Idlib.

U.N. humanitarian officials have pleaded with combatants to observe weekly 48-hour cease-fires to allow humanitarian relief into the city’s besieged eastern districts, but Russian and Syrian forces have only escalated their aerial and ground assault on the rebel-held areas in recent weeks. The airstrikes have claimed hundreds of lives, wounded many, flattened apartment buildings and laid waste to the already crippled medical sector.

But Russian and Syrian leaders are now capitalizing on a proposal made by the U.N.’s envoy earlier this month to allow al-Qaida-linked militants to leave in exchange for peace and local administration for the eastern districts.

Rebels in the east, along with many residents,

spurned the proposition, citing their distrust of the government side. And Russia vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution mandating an immediate cease-fire.

Monday’s announcement did not include any promises of an extended cease-fire or local administration. It followed a bloody day of airstrikes on rebel-held districts in and around Aleppo.

At least 23 people were killed in airstrike that also wounded dozens in the village of Oweijel, just west of Aleppo, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Another monitoring group, the Local Coordination Committees, said the air raid was carried out by Russian warplanes and put the death toll at 30.

More than a dozen people were also killed in the Marjeh neighborhood in eastern Aleppo.

The Aleppo Media Center, an activist collective, said those killed included 11 people with the same family name of Qabs ranging from a month-and-a-half-old baby girl to a 25-year-old man.

The Observatory said at least 50 civilians, including 18 children, were killed in airstrikes on the eastern part of the city in the 24 hours before the Russian announcement.

Monday’s airstrikes coincided with the launch in neighboring Iraq of a major operation by Iraqi and Kurdish forces, backed by the U.S.-led coalition, to retake the northern city of Mosul from the Islamic State group. There have been concerns the government in Damascus could use the timing of the Mosul offensive to press

its onslaught in Aleppo while world attention is diverted to developments in Iraq.

Also Monday, Syrian state media claimed 49 rebels were killed and wounded in fighting in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Saeed and Shurfa on the southern edges of Aleppo.

In the nearby province of Idlib, a U.S.-led coalition drone struck a car in the provincial capital that carries the same name, killing all inside, according to the Observatory and a jihadi official. It was not immediately clear who was in the vehicle, but such attacks have previously targeted officials with al-Qaida’s affiliate in Syria, known as Fatah al-Sham Front.

The Observatory said the attack targeted a faction commander. An official with Fatah alSham Front, formerly known as Nusra Front, said all those in the car were “martyred.” The man, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said it was not clear if members of his group were targeted.

Earlier this month, a drone attack killed top al-Qaida official Ahmed Salama Mabrouk.

The United States and Britain on Sunday acknowledged the Western world’s weak support for any military action against Syria’s government as they seek ways to pressure Syrian President Bashar Assad and his chief backer, Russia, to halt the deadly Aleppo offensive.

After a meeting of 11 governments opposing Assad’s rule, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson each insisted that all options were on the table.

But their stark explanations about the danger of

resorting to military force appeared to rule out such a move.

The government in Damascus, meanwhile, appears to be trying to improve relations with Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous nation, following the first public meeting between Egyptian and Syrian security chiefs.

Maj. Gen. Ali Mamlouk, head of the National Security Bureau and one of Assad’s top aides, visited Cairo Sunday at the head of a delegation to coordinate with Egypt in the fight against “terrorism” in the region, Syria’s state-run news agency SANA said.

SANA said the Syrians met with top intelligence officials, including deputy chief of Egypt’s intelligence agency. It said both sides agreed on “coordinating political standpoints” and strengthening the “cooperation in fighting terrorism.” Egypt’s pro-government Sada al-Balad and other news websites reported on Sunday that six Syrians arrived on a private jet from Damascus.

Earlier this month, Egypt voted for rival French and Russian draft resolutions on Syria at the U.N. Security Council, arguing that both called for a truce and for aid for besieged Syrians in the rebel-held areas of the northern city of Aleppo.

The move angered Egypt’s major financier Saudi Arabia, which supports rebels fighting against Assad’s Moscow-backed government.

Egypt and Syria are both fighting extremists, including members of the Islamic State group.

Both countries also have poor relations with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Pirates drop anchor in Knoxville this weekend Anu Kumar

Staff Writer This weekend, pirates will be coming to the Tennessee Theatre, but these pirates are more enthusiastic and lyrical than ones you’re accustomed to seeing.

“The Pirates of Penzance” is a twoact opera with a satirical plot line following Frederic, who just finished his pirate apprenticeship. When the pirates dock in town, Frederic tries to woo a group of maidens, who are the daughters of the Major General. Only one girl, Mabel, returns Frederic’s affections.

“It’s a really fun show,” Claire Coolen, who plays Mabel, said. “It’s not like most other operas where most of it is sad and depressing.”

Unlike musicals where characters can have spoken lines and musical numbers, operas have only musical numbers, and the typical dialogue lines are lyrically spoken or sung.

It’s a really fun show.

It’s not like most other operas where most of it is sad and depressing.”

Claire Coolen, actress

“(Portraying Mabel) was challenging, because it’s a comedy,” Coolen said. “It’s a different type of acting. It’s not like (acting in a movie).”

Coolen was always involved with musical theatre in high school and continued to pursue it in college. While she has been exposed to opera before, she never thought she would be involved with it on such a

large scale. She did note she would like to eventually go back to performing in musicals.

“It’s tricky to do both honestly,” Coolen said. “If I ever had the opportunity to do lighter musical theatre (I would like to), but right now the main focus is opera.”

Rehearsals for highly anticipated shows like Pirates of Penzance fluctuate in scheduling.

“The rehearsal process can be anywhere from three weeks to a couple of months or a couple of days,” Sean Anderson, the actor portraying the Pirate King, said. “It varies greatly upon the theatre and the time budgeted for rehearsal. You make sure that you and the conductor are on the same page, and then you begin the staging process.”

Anderson’s father was an opera singer, so Anderson grew up around performance. He became involved in dance and learned multiple instruments, but eventually decided to pursue opera.

“Performing is generally something I’ve been doing my entire life,” Anderson said.

“It’s what I’ve wanted to do since I was a

child, (and) you find significant satisfaction in pursuing it alongside other people.”

During the last week of rehearsals, performers get into costume and perform the production from start to finish with the scenery, props and full orchestra. The entire effort is a collaborative process, each person being a vital aspect to the entire production.

Of the approximately 137 roles he’s performed, Robert Orth, who plays Major General Stanley, enjoys “Pirates of Penzance” for its comical nature.

“I get one of the best known modern numbers, and I get to perform a silly ballet,” Orth said. “It’s very lighthearted.”

Orth stresses that the traveling and hours put into performances can be taxing, but if you decide to follow your passion, know that getting a consistent role won’t always be a guarantee.

“If you love it, keep doing it,” Coolen said.

Ticket information for “The Pirates of Penzance” can be found on tennesseetheatre.com. There are showings on Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 23 at 2:30 p.m.

Knoxville Horror Fest to showcase local filmmakers Anu Kumar

Staff Writer With Halloween just around the corner, many holiday related events are popping up across the city, and Regal Downtown West 8 and Scruffy City Hall are taking place in the festivities by hosting the eighth annual Knoxville Horror Film Festival.

Unlike the Knoxville Film Festival that takes place earlier in the fall semester, the unaffiliated Knoxville Horror Film Fest is genre specific to horror films.

William Mahaffey, the festival director, and Nick Huinker, the festival producer, began the horror fest in 2009.

“I was doing a lot of short films and submitting them to festivals,” Mahaffey said.

“There wasn’t really a place here for (horror films). In 2008 there were a few festivals here, but none of them had to do with genre films.”

Huinker and Mahaffey had collaborated in the past as UT students.

“In the fall of 2009 we’d finished working on one of William’s films and were figuring out when and how to show it, “ Huinker said, “and William had the idea to start our own horror-themed film festival.”

Huinker is in charge of all the behind the scenes action. He writes press releases,

takes care of graphic design and maintains the website. He’s also in charge of the audiovisual aspects of the festival to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Mahaffey has been to several well known film festivals across the country, including Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas.

When the festival began its inaugural year, the pair received a larger amount of submissions than they expected from local as well as well-known filmmakers. These films were showcased for one night at the Pilot Light.

The first festival was based on showcasing short films, but in years to come, feature films soon took precedence as well. After their success the second year with showing “COLIN,” a low-budget feature-length zombie film, at Happy Holler’s Relix Variety Theatre, the festival continued to expand.

“We began to expand our feature offerings each year, culminating in this year’s festival,” Huinker said. “We’ve still got a good five hours worth of short films, but we’ve paired them all up with ten feature films.”

Huinker and Mahaffey have also sold more weekend passes this year than ever before.

Taking inspiration from Knoxville Film Festival’s “Seven Day Shootout” filmmaking competition, Knoxville Horror Film Fest started their own competition titled “Grindhouse.” Participants have six days and 66 minutes to make a Grindhouse trailer, and this year they have the option to make a

The logo for the Knoxville Horror Film Fest • Courtesy of Knoxville Horror Film Fest trailer or a short film.

Submissions for the festival are typically picked by Mahaffey, who says he tries to have a balance of well-known filmmakers as well as local ones.

“We try to check in with a lot of better filmmakers that have evolved over the years,” he said.

One of the filmmakers he has been following for a while is Richard Bates, who is the

creator of the film “Trash Fire” and will be featured in the festival. Among some of the most highly anticipated films are “Trashier” and “Phantasm: Remastered,” which is a remake of the 1970s films “Ravager” and “The Greasey Strangler.”

Doing the ‘Time Warp’ again at Tennessee Theatre Mary Beth McCauley Contributor

“Rocky Horror Picture Show� fans were jumping to the left and stepping to the right as they stood in line outside the Tennessee Theatre Saturday, Oct. 15.

Saturday was the annual showing and performance of the cult classic, which sells out every year. The event is put together by the Satanic Mechanics, a local performing arts group. They are in charge of holding auditions, casting performers and facilitating the costume contest and raffle drawing.

This year’s prizes ranged from tickets to the “Rocky Horror Picture Show� after-party held at the Concourse to season passes for the Hard Knox Rollergirls.

Men and women dressed in corsets, fishnet stockings and sequined jackets lined the streets as early as 7 p.m. The line began at the box office, continued down Church Street and eventually turned down State Street.

The show didn’t begin until 11 p.m., but seating was first-come, first-serve, so most fans got there as early as possible. The lyrics of “Time Warp� could be heard all throughout the line, with more and more people chiming in as the night went on.

As soon as attendees entered the Tennessee Theatre, they were greeted by staff members dressed as Transylvanians and other movie characters. Traditionally, fans of the movie will come with props like toilet paper, toast, flashlights and water guns to use at certain parts throughout the movie, so some staff members were selling prop bags for $10. The bar was also serving themed drinks in spirit of the film.

The event kicked off with the costume contest; about 10 contestants entered the stage and the host, Willemina Snyder, went down the line explaining who they were dressed as. The contest was judged by how loud the audience cheered, so after introductions, the crowd was asked to cheer for their favorite participant.

The winner and crowd favorite was a 10-yearold girl dressed as Magenta, and she explained

The logo for Rocky Horror Picture Show • Courtesy of the Tennessee Theatre this was her fourth year attending the show. The runners-up were a couple dressed as Brad and Janet in their white undergarments. Once the contestants left the stage, the raffle began, bringing 10 more winners to the stage.

Once everyone had taken their seats, the lights dimmed and the curtains were drawn.

The stage opened up and an organ player began to slowly rise from the orchestra pit, accompanied by two performers dressed in corsets and knee-high boots. They sang a few songs, danced around the stage and got the crowd warmed up and excited for the show.

Once they were lowered back into the orchestra pit, the second layer of curtains was pulled back and the movie flashed onto the screen.

The audience sang the opening number, “Science Fiction,� almost louder than the movie was playing as almost everyone knew every word and sang in unison. One performer danced along with the lips on the screen in a dim, blue light.

The audience wasted no time making use of their props, so when the wedding scene came on, crowd members threw flowers off the balcony and tossed bouquets up in the air.

Similarly, when Brad and Janet’s car broke down, water guns started spraying all over the place to resemble rain, which incited laughter all throughout the theater.

The performers on stage made the film even more enjoyable, acting out the entire movie the best they could. It added a personal and comical feel to the event.

When the film finally came to an end, the entire theater stood and offered a thunderous applause. The shadow cast performers bowed and hugged one another, blowing kisses to the crowd and scurrying off stage, the lights dimming as they left.

Everyone there was so spirited, enthusiastic and body-positive. With the whole audience participating and offering endless support, it really made this interactive event an absolute success.

WOMEN’S GOLF

Tennessee shoots under par

GRADING THE VOLS

Staff Report

Trenton Duffer, Sports Editor

Quarterbacks The Tennessee women’s golf team finished strong on Sunday, Oct. 16, at the UNC Tar Heel Invitational as they were one of three teams in the 18 team field to shoot par or under par on the final day.

Michaela Williams led the Vols to a +9 finish by carding a 211 after 54 holes, the lowest score by a Vol all year.

“Michaela had a great tournament,” head coach Judi Pavon said in a statement released

by UT. “This was a good golf course and a tough field and a top-five finish was very impressive. She is playing with a lot of confidence.”

With a 3-under final round, Blakesly Warren led Tennessee’s late surge.

“Blakesly also had a great tournament,” Pavon said. “She was solid the first two days but then finished with some late birdies to break 70 and finish in the top 10.”

In the Tar Heel Invitational, junior Anna Newell finished as the third best Vol with a 219 (+3) finishing in 21st overall. “(Newell) was really consistent and good again this week,” Pavon said. “She didn’t hit the ball as well as she would have liked, but she is a

UT senior Emmie Pietila competed as an individual and shot a 77 on Sunday to finish the tournament tied for 76th with a 232.

Other notable Vols include senior Hannah Pietila and junior Teleri Hughes, who finished T73 (+15) and T83 (+18), respectively.

Tennessee competes next in San Antonio, Texas, in the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational on Oct. 23-25. The tournament will be held at the Briggs Ranch Golf Club.

13 carries. Countless runs up the middle, which was the strength of Alabama’s No. 1 ranked rush defense, was questionably tested throughout the day. And the Tide, who only allowed an average of 69.2 rushing yards per game this season, kept the Vols quiet. Alvin Kamara had eight carries for 26 yards and a score.

MEN’S GOLF

Scalise plays well as Vols falter in BTI Staff Report This weekend, the Tennessee men’s golf team had a very impressive effort from Lorenzo Scalise, a junior from Milan, Italy, in the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate (BTI) in Jonesborough, Tennessee.

Scalise shot under par in every round of the tournament. He finished three shots off the leader with a score of -10 and was 5th overall in the tournament.

The tournament featured 15 teams and took place Oct. 14-16.

As a team, the Vols finished the weekend 10 over par. That finish was tied for 13th place.

There were other steady performances from the golf team as well. Senior Jack Smith participated in the tournament as an individual and finished with a score of -3 and was tied for 20th place.

Two freshman also had some very good moments in the tournament as well. Hunter Wolcott posted a 69 in the 3rd round to move up 25 spots and finish tied for 44th place. Rhys Nevin-Wharton finished the tournament tied for 65th with a +8. Brayden Garrison shot two

Josh Dobbs played arguably his worst game of the season on Saturday against Alabama. Dobbs threw the ball 27 times and had 16 completions for 92 yards and an interception. That interception was returned for a touchdown. The offensive line didn’t keep Dobbs protected at all, but he still made some bad decisions on the day.

Nicklas Mattner finished tied for 80th with a +18.

Virginia won the tournament outright with a team score of -35, beating second-place Missouri by 13 strokes. Charles Huntzinger from Penn State had the top overall score of the tournament with a 13-under par.

The Vols will be back in action Oct. 30 when they participate in the Invitational at Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, South Carolina.

B-

well, primarily defensive end Derek Barnett. Barnett had a sack that forced a fumble while also intercepting a pass. It’s quite obvious that Barnett is the backbone of this defense right now, and his presence alone raises this grade by almost a full level.

The injuries at linebacker have destroyed the Vols this year. Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Darrin Kirkland Jr., Cortez McDowell and Quart’e Sapp were all injured entering Saturday’s game against the Tide. Colton Jumper and Elliot Berry got the start at linebacker, and the Tide took advantage of the mismatches at that position. Alabama ran for 438 yards – their largest rushing total since 1986. The Vols may have started backups, but that’s unacceptable.

The Vols’ secondary only allowed 156 yards through the air, but that was due in part to the inaccuracy of Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts. Baylen Buchanan got his first start of the season and did fair in coverage, but failed miserably when it came to trying to get past the blocks of Alabama wide receivers. There was no Cam Sutton or Malik Foreman, but this group didn’t look good.

Trevor Daniel had one bad punt, but he made up for it with two 60-yard punts. Evan Berry and Alvin Kamara both did great on their returns, giving the Vols good field position whenever they got the chance. This group should deserve an A- grade, but a 75-yard punt return by Eddie Jackson knocks the group down a whole letter grade.

The Vols finish with a 1.97 GPA for the week.
