Tennessee Stat Book
As far as skill-position players are concerned, Ryan Karl thinks Tennessee has seen the finest that 2007 will offer.
“Probably the best we’re going to play all year,” the senior linebacker said of Cal’s running backs, receivers and quarterback following Saturday night’s 45-31 loss. “They have better speed than probably anyone we’re going to play all year. All of them have that big-play potential.”
That was a far cry from a year ago, when UT dominated Cal in Neyland Stadium, beating the Golden Bears 35-18.
“They have great speed on offense,” Karl said. “It surprised me how fast they were.”
The quickness was most evident as the Vols were missing tackles.
“It’s really frustrating,” Karl said of the missed tackles. “We’ve got to be more consistent in that area.
“Our defense went out and was just up and down. We had spurts of playing real well and spurts of not playing well at all. They did a lot of stuff we hadn’t seen before.”
Injury Report: Senior defensive end Xavier Mitchell seemed to have no ill effects from the concussion that prompted a scary scene Saturday. Mitchell was carted off the field on a backboard late in the Cal game.
“I’m straight,” Mitchell said as he walked through the athletic complex during Monday’s media opportunity.
Mitchell practiced Monday.
Quarterback Erik Ainge was wearing a brace on his right pinky early in the afternoon. Ainge suffered a fracture in the finger early last week, but plans to continue to play with the ailment.
The senior threw on a limited basis Monday, but did not participate in team periods during the portion of practice open to the media. Sophomore Jonathan Crompton got the first-team snaps.
Punter Britton Colquitt did not kick during the media-allowed sessions.
Fulmer said Colquitt’s pulled quadriceps did not affect the junior on his first punt against Cal. Fulmer said on Saturday that Colquitt was supposed to kick away from Cal returner DeSean Jackson, but instead kicked to him, resulting in a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown.
“He’s fine,” Fulmer said of Colquitt. “He looks like he’s fine. He’ll be ready to go on Saturday just like he was ready to go last week.”
Top Tight End: Senior tight end Chris Brown led UT with seven receptions on Saturday, gaining 54 yards and two touchdowns.
“I thought his effort was outstanding,” tight ends coach Matt Luke said. “I thought he tried to play physical and tried to play fast.”
UT’s other tight ends, sophomore Jeff Cottam and freshman Luke Stocker, didn’t catch a pass against Cal.
The Vols are without senior Brad Cottam, who suffered a wrist injury in preseason camp, until late October or November.
Demonte’s Directive: Defensive tackle Demonte’ Bolden said UT’s defensive plan against Cal was to pressure quarterback Nate Longshore without having to blitz linebackers or safeties.
“That was the whole plan,” the junior said. “Going into the game, I felt that as a defensive front that was key, getting pressure on the quarterback.”
The Vols never registered a sack against the Golden Bears.
Bolden blamed himself as much as anyone.
“If I could have fought those double teams a little bit harder, I could have gotten off and made plays,” Bolden said.
Dan’s The Man: Bolden was plenty impressed with fellow defensive tackle Dan Williams.
“I’m proud of Big Dog,” Bolden said. “I’m proud of Dan. Whether people from Tennessee know it or not, Dan came a long way.”
Williams was the only backup defensive lineman to make a tackle for a loss against Cal.
“I feel like Dan should be able to play,” Bolden said. “Get more reps than he did.”
Long Days: UT’s coaches went straight to the office Sunday after arriving in Knoxville at approximately 7:30 a.m.. The coaches then worked through the day, leaving the athletic complex at approximately 7 p.m.
Practice Report: Sophomore tailback LaMarcus Coker was back in an orange jersey on Monday. Coker was in a blue scout team jersey last week after returning from his suspension. Coker has been reinstated and will be available Saturday against Southern Miss.
“He’s in good shape,” Fulmer said. “He’s been working out while he’s been out.”
No Stopping the No Huddle: Fulmer said he was pleased with the debut of UT’s no-huddle offense on Saturday.
“It gave us pretty much what we wanted out of it,” Fulmer said. “Erik did a good job with it.”

Is this Tennessee's (Specifically Coach Chavis) Tragic flaw? It seems to me that it has been since I have been a fan...We always assume our front four on the defensive line will be able to disrupt enough. Let's do the math shall we? Four D-lineman to 5 offensive lineman, not counting tight ends or fullbacks...Doesn't really make sense does it? Every time we got to Longshore he made a mistake...In the past, every time we got to the Florida QB he would make a mistake. WHY DO WE CONTINUALLY DO THIS TO OURSELVES... BLITZ SOMEONE YOU IDIOTS! AT LEAST ONE PERSON!!! PLEASE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE FAITH IN TENNESSEE!!! What a brilliant defensive mind Chavis has and STILL he cannot see what I see...Maybe if someone can show me the negatives...I don't know
5forVols writes:
I agree. When we stopped Cal on downs it was because we forced longshore to pass too soon and off the mark. This is how interceptions are made. You have to bring extras in and go man to man once in a while. Surely we can cover receivers for 2.5 seconds.
jhenson#377512 writes:
omg...CAL just scored again!
I agree with you threesdown. let's take some chances on D. It beats sitting back and getting picked apart drive after drive after drive...
...oops CAL has a recevier running free in the seam, ohhhh phooey...they just scored again...

threesdown, you have convinced me of reincarnation....nobody can know as much as you do and only live one life! It's time some of the posters dust off their extensive football resumes and head to the complex. I'm sure you can do a much better job!
gaVOLman writes:
Covering man to man for a couple of seconds until someone gets to the QB has to be easier than trying to cover speedy recievers for 5 or 6 seconds until any QB in the country can find someone that is open. If we get pressure on the QB this game is a lot lot lot different.

Cal's Tedford said it best; when he said that "last year they didn't know anything about the Vols. But after playing them once they learned all they needed to and it became easier".
GreerVol22 writes:
Once again everyone missed the point. WE DO NOT HAVE THE PLAYERS NECESSARY TO COMPETE, NOR THE APTITUDE FOR CALLING THE RIGHT SETS WITH THE UPPER TEERS OF ANY BCS CONFERENCE. It was obvious with every blitz we threw at them as their O-line or TBs threw us off like cotton candy. And for those of you who think, we had good defensive stops in the 3rd to "make a comeback"...please. Like any coach, including Fulmer, Tedford was trying to kill clock with simply plays that are easy to defend. When Cal needed more points...look what happened...
A sign of being out coached...
When Ainge got hammered in the first series, what happened?....a Cal linebacker line up in a corner blitz opposite where Foster lined up and came unblocked, spearing Ainge...not a clean hit but hey, the media and especially a well thought out coaching staff got what it wanted.
invisiblekid writes:
With the way Bolden played last night, I am all for Williams getting many more reps. Most important thing that came out of last night's game was the news that Mitchell is OK. Looking back to Inky Johnson, some things are more important than football and I am glad to hear that news.
Medalist writes:
This fair weather fan of 33 years is having second thoughts about renewing season tickets. Recruiting success hasn't prevented special teams errors, inability to stop the run, ongoing failure against ranked opponents, you pick it. Defensive and SP coaching might help.
Perhaps sending some unused tickets to trustee Jim Haslam might convey the message, "the job is not getting done".
CrankE writes:
Ainge with a more extensive brace. Hmmmm, I just knew there was a reason we didn't stretch the field.
Their freshman, Best won the California 100 yd. dash. DeSean Jackson returned 4 of 26 punts for TDs. How can this be a surprise to a team that's had 8 months to get prepared? Fail to plan, plan to fail.
While Cal may be the best that UT will play all year, we won't know until December. We'll take care of the wildly optimistic/pessimistic comments, Ryan. You just lean into it with your shoulders and make some hits and tackles.
VolMoment writes:
Football is a game of different sets. Why do we read where our players say they ran stuff we hadn't seen, such as Ryan Carl's comments. Give me a break, there is not that many different sets,so it is our coaching.
invisiblekid writes:
Ditto CrankE, shouldn't have been any suprises for Karl or the rest of the team with regards to speed. Jackson played last year, Forsett played last year, track and field records for Best were common knowledge. "Last year they had some wrinkles, and it was the first time we'd seen it,'' said Tedford, who didn't call Cal's plays last season. "After playing them once, it was easier.'' Seems pretty obvious Tedford took some notes after last year, hopefully our staff learns something from this game.

Speed kills. I have to give it to Cals play calling that got the ball to people in space, something we didn't do. Why all the talk about speed in the 2007 class if we don't use it. Defense was just disappointing I've never seen a John Chavis defense look like that. I Love Coach Chief but we wasn't prepare for there speed. Look for a great D the rest of the year no more surprises from the other teams here on out Chief will be ready the rest of the year. Go Vols!!!

I told a friend that we would know if Tennessee was truly going to have a strong team when we ha our first third & 2. When we had a strong running game an OL thaty was a running play. But our first 3 & 1 aganst Cal we tried the same ole toss to the flat to Foster. One we showed no confidense in our OL or backs, and the play was so typical a moron would know to expect it. As long as UT must pass on 3 & 2 we will never win another CHAMPIONSHIP. Even with a weak defense we could have won the Cal game by converting some short third downs and not getting cute from the 3-yard line and getting kept out of the endzone. From the 3 you lower your head and bull in a yard at a time and its seven. The key to any UT season is the OL and we still can't run on 3rd & 2. The last time we had a good OL it was under Mike Barry!

To many people think Blitzing will cure our ill's. The problem is we did blitz and we blitzed often. Its amazing to me how poor our blitz packages have become. We have been running the same blitzes now for 15 years and everyone in the country can see them long before the snap. Its one of the reasons draws and slants kill us now. The reality is our Dee Line is horrible. Especially our defensive ends. It might be time to quit converting linebackers into ends and start actually recruiting Ends. Cal had a lot of team speed but they had the same guys last year. One other thing our linebackers are great athletes but I am not sure they are great football players. I think its time they start trying to recognize what the other team is doing to them instead of going hell bent across the line only to be made a fool of by a play fake a reverse or a cut back by the halfback.

"The Chief" will be ready the rest of season...LOL! What was he doing up to the CAL game...fightin' Fulmer and the special teams coach for position in the buffet line? The apologists on this site are hilarious. "CAL was just better", "Tennesse just doesn't have the talent anymore"...Give me a break. For sure CAL was better but it had very little to do with the talent.
Beginning with this last recruiting class, we've had classes ranked 3rd, 23rd, 3rd, 10th, 12th, 7th.
What has our illustrious staff done with said talent (other than get them ready for the NFL...and I'll admit, they're darn good at that)?...
2002...We started the season ranked 4th We lost to Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Miami, then got drilled by Maryland in the Peach Bowl.
2003...We were ranked 7th when we lost to an unranked Auburn team, got drilled 41-13 by Georgia and got embarassed in the Peach Bowl again by Clemson
2004...(In retrospect, this was a great season) We were ranked 10th when Auburn beat us 34-10, We had climbed back to 9th when an unranked Notre Dame team beat us. At least we made a good showing in a loss to Auburn (moral victories don't count for much, though). Then in a what has sadly become a rarity in Tennessee, we looked awesome against A&M in the Cotton Bowl.
2005...This was the lovely 5 - 6 season. You know...the one where we were pre-season National Title "contenders". Losses to Fl, Ga, SC, AL, ND, and VANDERBILT...are you serious?
2006...losses to Fl, LSU, Arkansas and another embarassing performance against a meiocre Penn State team. (A decent bounce-back season after the debacle of 2005, but still the same predictable conclusion)
Are there a 100+ D-1 schools that would take those results?...ABSOLUTELY! Do they consistently recruit like we do, and have the facilities and resources we have?... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! And that's my issue with the current state of affairs and those who continue to defend the status quo. Remove your emotions and look strictly at the facts...I don't know of another coaching staff, over the last six years, that has gotten less out of more than has Fulmer and his staff.
Nothing personal...just the facts!

“If I could have fought those double teams a little bit harder, I could have gotten off and made plays,” Bolden said. Was everyone double teamed on the D line, Demonte? Sounds like one of those lines you use in an interview: "my biggest flaw is I care too much and work too hard"

I think Ryan made one tackle the whole game. He probably is our smartest player on defence, but he also has to be the slowest!

Ditto to everything Jhenson said! I would add one thing. Fullmer has tried to right the ship(Cutt, Trooper Taylor, firing Randy, and of course the bribe, errr donation money he gave!)

Invisiblekid and I had a discussion last week relative to the futility of debating Fulmer's future. Unfortunately, Invisible is right...Fulmer isn't going anywhere this year and probably not the next, so getting all worked up over it is probably useless. But wow...it's difficult to look at the numbers and not get worked up...
Having said that,I also want to make it clear that I admire Fulmer as a person, and while I have infinite doubts about his ability to take Tennessee beyond mediocrity as a football program, I haven't quite become so cynical as to allow myself to believe his donation was anything more than a grateful Tennessee boy saying thanks to the University that has done so much for him.

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened with 3 new guys in the secondary what might have happened if we played man to man against Cal if a blitz did not work.
Next to Florida and maybe Arkansas we will not see anyone with close to the skill position talent that Cal has. And by the time we play them hopefully guys like Eric Berry who looked outstanding on Saturday will have stepped it up to the point we can run some better blitz packages.
Or better yet Bolden, Mapu and company will have raised there game to a level where we can run blitzes as a total surprise.
We will know as the season progresses but there is the possibility that Cal is that good on offense and simply made us look bad.
This week will provide some answers.

I may be a minority, but I believe Coach Chavis and ALL of the Defensive ASST. Coaches are one of the top groups in the country coaching people, and making game adjustments. THE PROBLEM, and it starts with Coach Fulmer, the Recruitig Coor., and the Def. Coaches who give input is: FILLING RECRUITING NEEDS. If you look backward toward '98, you will see a weak area in the DB's, DT's, LB's, or DE's. Sometimes we have have 2 or 3 positions carry the others, but without Juniors and Seniors starting in the majority of the Defensive spots, you won't see the dominance we all want.

I am a long time Bear fan ... close to 50 years, ever since I was in grade school. I've seen a lot of ups and downs during that period. Cal is riding pretty high these days. But, we haven't been a consistent top tier team since the late 1940's. The last visit to the Rose Bowl was in 1959.
I think that it is wonderful that so many Vols fans travel to games. In the Tedford era, the average attendance has grown to more than 64,000 folks, most of them are "bandwagon" fans, though. So while the Cal fans will outnumber the visiting fans these days, I remember a few years ago during the Halmo era (very sad days) that Nebraska came to Berkeley and the 25,000 Cornhusker fans almost outnumbered the Cal fans. That was humiliating.
Anyway, I spoke to some Vols fans on the way to the stadium. We all agreed that we would like a good, competitive game without anyone getting hurt.
I remembered that conversation, when Xavier Mitchell went down in the 4th quarter. I sit in the North endzone close to where Mitchell was down on the turf. I was pretty worried when Mitchell got carted off the field. I will admit that I was pretty scared for him and his family. [Just think about how it would feel if you were watching from the stands or at home on TV and you saw your son go down hard. And, then not even twitch!] Anyhow, I guess he only got concussed. I hope he'll be back on the field soon. His injury could have been much worse. His injury should let us keep the game and the performance of both the Bears and the Vols in perspective about what's important.
I noticed that most of the Vols fans that were leaving were seated in the Southeast quadrant, while the fans in the Soutwest stayed put. Can anyone explain that to me?
Stadium-wise ... it's a great venue to watch a game, but I will admit that it is a bit shabby and needs renovation. The bathrooms and concession stands are awful.
As far as the game goes, Ainge looked pretty good to me. Although the Bear defense had a few good stands, I think that the Bear defense looked porous a lot of the time. There were a number of times when a Vols receiver was alone without a Bear defender within 10 yards.
Anyhow ... here's to a successful and entertaining season for both the Bears and the Vols.

ilove_football--judging by the IQ with which you write, I'm not in the least bit surprised that the best take you could come up with was a muppet reference. My name actually is Jim Henson, so good call! You made me laugh. If you spent half as much time watching football as you do watching Big Bird and the Kermit, you'd understand why so many fans admire the consistent play that coaches such as Saban/Meyer/Spurrier/Richt and others get out of their teams year after year.
Oh and by the way, I don't need to "make a muppet to coach the Vols." I'm quite certain I saw Bert and Ernie roaming the sidlines on Saturday.

Another performance by a head coach who thrives on mediocrity. With the exception of Ainge, who Cut got ready to play, the rest of the squad played like their head coach coaches. The current edition of the Vols football squad has little front line or secondary defense, no downfield threat on offense, and couldnt tackle a bunch of Jr Pros. Chavis has been hanging around Fulmer to long and has a substantial amount of work to do. Fulmer has always had work to do. Fulmer just doesnt know how to do it. Absolutely, positively, the worst game day coach in the country is Phillip Fulmer.

I have a theory about poor tackling--not just ours, but on a lot of teams these days. Call it the "coach-em-up" fallacy. In high school, big, strong, fast players dominate with their physical gifts and show up on all the multi-star recruiting lists. If coaches don't recruit that kind of player, then all the recruiting junkies jump on them. If the guy doesn't pan out, at least the coaches can say, "Well, he sure looked like a good prospect; look at all those other big powers who recruited him." If coaches see that some "can't-miss" prospect has some flaws in his techniques, they quite naturally tell themselves, "Well, when we get him we will teach him proper techniques." After all, isn't that what coaches get paid for--to coach?
The problem is that they don't have time to spend on a lot of fundamentals because of NCAA limitations on practice time. Also NCAA restrictions on recruiting numbers mean that there is less full-contact tackling in practice because teams can't afford getting players hurt. Modern players all grow up watching sports highlights shows on TV. Think about how many of those emphasize the "big hit", the big knock-out blows, usually delivered with the shoulder from a 20-yard sprint. Proper technique--3/4 speed approach, "sit-down", drive through the ball carrier, wrap him up, take him down--never appears on such shows. Most young players are never taught how to do this before getting to college, if then. Even then, it looks "wimpy" compared to the kill-shots they grew up thinking were the ideal.
I like a good "kill-shot" as much as anybody, but I would MUCH rather see a sound fundamental tackle executed every time than a bunch of whiffs wrapped around the OCCASIONAL kill-shot. More proof of the "big-play" fallacy? Look at basketball. Highlight shows show slam-dunks and dipsy-do scoops exclusively. Result? No one can make a free-throw or an 18-foot jumper, because the players spend their youth trying to perfect what the media shows them, what they already KNOW are the things that get them noticed. Coaches think they can correct a lifetime of bad habits in a year or two of practice, only to realize that they don't have the time to drill on those fundamentals. The players aren't sold on those fundamentals because the players they see on TV all the time don't have them, so they must be a waste of time.
The fact is that training facilities and methods have improved so much that players now can more easily be MADE bigger, stronger, and even faster than they can be trained out of poor techniques. The answer, then, is to recruit players who know how to PLAY and how to WIN, and THEN build them up physically, rather than the reverse, which is what all the "big-time" programs are trying to do. Yeah, right, like that'll happen!

Excellent points johnig00. The best tackler we have had in some time was Jason Allen. He used proper technique as you described. If you want to see a clinic on tackling properly watch most NFL secondary players and especially guys like Bob Sanders of Indy. Generally they are going to be smaller but certainly no bigger than most NFL runners so they use the shoulder, arms, and wrap the ballcarrier's legs up and use the ball carrier's momentum against their body to put the ball carrier on the ground and in a hurry. Altho many times in the Cal game, the runners were bouncing it outside and we were tackling from behind or the side, seldom in front of the ball carrier and that is a surefire indicator that your line and linebackers are getting handled by the offensive team's blockers. Reminded me very much of our effort against Arkansas last year and Auburn at their place a few years ago when their offensive line and Ronnie Brown put on a blocking clinic. BTW, we don't seem to be able to execute that kind of blocking out of our offense, thus the passes on third and short.
This could be a very disappointing season. I see a lot of parallels between Bobby Bowden and Phillip Fulmer since 1998-99 National Championship years.

Nice post johnlg00, there is one thing to add in talking about the time factor that I believe may be relevant to the situation though. If memory serves, going back to 2005, Caldwell was listed as the "special teams coordinator" and it turned out to be a disaster. Last season, and as far as I know this season, Cutcliffe handles the kickoff and punt returns while Chavis handles the kickoff and punt coverage. I think it is quite possible, especially with the rule changes on kickoffs and the uncertainty of who would be kicking off, that some of the fundamentals like tackling may have gotten lost in the shuffle a bit. It sure looked that way on Saturday.

Can someone explain to me why we punted at the end of the game? What did we have to loose? 7 points?
And why did Ainge dump off the passes on the last couple of drives to the running backs? Did his finger get aggrevated when he got knocked down or were all of the receivers covered up down field? TV only showed the line of scrimmage play on those last two series.
