SERIES HISTORY & NOTES Tennessee hosts LSU for the first time since 2001, as the Tigers and Vols meet for the 29th time at Neyland Stadium Saturday. An open date following LSU’s Oct. 21 rout of Fresno State has given the Tigers an extra week of preparations for Saturday’s clash on Rocky Top. The Vols took the last meeting between the two teams in historic fashion, turning a 17-point, fourth-quarter deficit into a 30-27 overtime win in Baton Rouge last year. The Vols trailed by as much as 21 points in the second half; both deficits rank as the largest UT has overcome in school history. Second-year LSU head coach Les Miles is 0-1 against the Vols, and UT head coach Phillip Fulmer is 3-2 against the Tigers. Tennessee leads the all-time series 20-5-3, and UT has lost just once in Knoxville in 13 games against the Bayou Bengals. The five Louisiana natives on UT’s 2006 roster are Lucas Taylor (Carencro), Chris Brown (Destrehan), Jarrod Shaw (Lafayette), Ja’Kouri Williams (Plaquemine) and Jonathan Wade (Shreveport). MEACHEM ONE OF 14 BILETNIKOFF SEMIFINALISTS Junior wideout Robert Meachem is one of 14 semifinalists for the 13th annual Biletnikoff Award, presented annually by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation to the top receiver in college football. Meachem leads the SEC and ranks fourth in the nation in receiving yards per game (108.5) through eight contests. The Tulsa, Okla., native has piled up 868 yards on 45 catches for six touchdowns to help pace one of the SEC’s most potent offenses. Meachem has also been one of the nation’s biggest surprises. Despite leading UT in receiving yardage in each of his two previous seasons on Rocky Top, he wasn’t even listed on the preseason “Watch List” for the Biletnikoff Award final- ists. He’s leaped to the forefront, however, after setting new season-highs for catches and receiving yards in just six games this year. Meachem is just one catch shy of 100 for his career. MEACHEM, SWAIN, SMITH COMPRISE NATIONS SECOND-BEST RECEIVING TRIO Tennessee wide receivers Robert Meachem, Jayson Swain and Bret Smith comprise the second-best receiving duo in NCAA Division I-A in terms of average yards per game this season. The three have combined for 1,671 yards and 15 touchdowns this season, with Meachem totaling 868 yards, Swain gaining 450 and Smith (who has played in seven of UT’s eight games) totaling 343 yards for a com- bined per-game average of 215.0 yards. Each Vol has recorded a multi- TD game this season, with Meachem leading the pack with two multi- TD outings (California and Air Force). All three were part of UT’s 2003 signing class. 2006 TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL Contacts: Bud Ford (cell 865-567-6287) Assoc. AD-Media Relations John Painter (cell 865-414-1143) Assoc. SID P.O.

CUTCLIFFE’S MAGIC NUMBER = 30During David Cutcliffe’s two stints as Tennessee’s offen-

sive coordinator (1993-98 and 2006), the Vols have beenawfully tough to beat when they score at least 30 points.In fact, with Cutcliffe gripping the offensive reins,Tennessee has scored at least 30 points in 53 differentgames; and UT owns an impressive 51-2 (.962) recordwhen that happens. Cutcliffe’s UT teams score at least 30points in 64.6 percent of their games (53 of 82). The Volsaverage 34.6 in those contests.

When Cutcliffe’s UT offense totals at least 30 points,Tennessee outscores its opponents by an average of 25.6points per game (42.81 ppg to 17.23 ppg).

Below are some of Tennessee’s scoring breakdownswith Cutcliffe as offensive coordinator:

Home SEC Games: 34.5 ppg Home Non-Conference Games: 38.4 ppg Road SEC Games: 35.3 ppg Road Non-Conference Games: 29.0 ppg Neutral-Site Games: 27.5 ppg

VOLS OFFENSE LEANING HEAVILY ONTHE PASSING GAME Not since 1997 — Peyton Manning’s senior season —

has Tennessee’s offense relied so heavily on the passinggame as this year. Through eight games, the Vols areaveraging 174.6 more passing yards than rushing yardsper game (288.1 to 113.5). In 1997, UT averaged 180.7more passing yards per game (331.8 to 151.1).

During UT’s 1998 national championship season, theVols actually averaged 23.8 more rushing yards thanpassing yards per game (211.3 to 187.5). But from 1999through 2005, Tennessee averaged 76.7 more passingyards than rushing yards per outing. That number hasrisen significantly this season by nearly 100 yards (97.9).

VOLS OFFENSIVE NUMBERS RANKAMONG NATION’S BESTTennessee ranks among the top-20 teams in NCAA

Division I-A in three offensive stat categories this season.UT’s passing efficiency rating of 161.62 is ninth-best in

the nation. The Vols also rank ninth in the country with288.1 yards of passing offense per game. Tennesseeranks 18th nationally in scoring with 32.3 ppg.

The Vols’ offensive numbers place them atop the SECrankings in three different categories: passing offense,red-zone offense (93.3 scoring percentage) and third-down conversion percentage (54.1).

VOLS BOAST THREE OF SEC’S FOURLONGEST DRIVES THIS SEASONTennessee has authored three of the four longest drives

— in terms of yardage — by an SEC team this season.The Vols have three scoring drives of 97 yards or longer,

all of which resulted in touchdowns. UT also had an 89-yard touchdown drive vs. Marshall.Rank Drive Info1 99 - by Tennessee vs. Air Force

VOLS RIDING THREE STRAIGHTFOURTH-QUARTER COMEBACKSWhen it matters most, the Vols are getting things done.For the third time in as many games, Tennessee came-

from-behind after three quarters to claim a victory. Thestretch marks the first time ever under coach PhillipFulmer that the Vols have turned the trick in three consec-utive games.

The Vols trailed Georgia 27-24 before blowing outthe Bulldogs over the last 15 minutes and easily winning51-33. Antonio Wardlow covered up a blocked punt for atouchdown to spark the comeback, and Arian Fosteradded a pair of 1-yard dives into the end zone to cruisepast previously unbeaten Georgia.

After struggling on offense for most of the game, UTfaced a 13-6 deficit heading into the fourth quarter againstrival Alabama. Following a James Wilhoit field goal, quar-terback Erik Ainge engineered a nine-play, 70-yard drivefor the go-ahead touchdown - Foster again from 1-yard out- with just more than three minutes left to play.

The Vols again needed to overcome a three-pointdeficit, 17-14, on the road against South Carolina, andAinge brought UT back with a 5-yard touchdown pass toBret Smith. Jonathan Hefney followed that with a career-long, 65-yard punt return that set up Foster for a 5-yardscoring run, and the Vols won 31-24.

Ainge is also developing a reputation as one of themost-clutch quarterbacks in the country. With a pair offourth-quarter comebacks on his résumé as a freshman -at home against Florida and on the road againstMississippi - the junior signal-caller has now led five suchvictories during his stint at Rocky Top.

Speaking VOLumes ...

GAME NOTES: VOLSvsTIGERS

Thanks to returner Jonathan Hefney, Tennessee has jumped from 85th in the NCAA rankings for punt-return average two weeks ago to 10th in the NCAA currently ...

That kind of situationdoesn’t scare us, and

we don’t get intimi-dated when we get

behind. We justknow we’ve gotto keep doing

what we need todo.

Seven of Tennessee’s 2006 opponents participated in bowl games last season ... Since 1996, no fewer than 10 UT games have been televised in any one season ...

AINGE EXTRA EFFICIENT IN FOURTH QUARTERDuring the fourth quarter of Tennessee’s last three games, quar-

terback Erik Ainge has completed 73.3 percent of his passes (22 of30) for 300 yards and two touchdowns. In each of the three games,the Vols overcame fourth-quarter deficits thanks largely to Ainge’sprowess in the passing game.

During that same span, Tennessee has had 12 offensive posses-sions. On three of those possessions the Vols were milking theclock. But on the nine possessions during which UT made an effortto drive the ball, it scored eight times (six TDs and two FGs).

Ainge’s passer efficiency rating during the last three fourth quar-ters stands at 179.33. That’s a significant increase from his overallseason rating of 158.41, which ranks second in the SEC and 11thnationally.

HELMET DECAL HONORS INJURED DUOTennessee defensive starters Justin

Harrell and Inky Johnson both sufferedinjuries during the Sept. 9 Air Force game

that brought their season to an early end (though Harrell managedto play in one more game the following week against Florida).

As a way of honoring both players for the remainder of the sea-son, Tennessee has added a decal depicting three interlocking cir-cles to each helmet. The Nos. 92 (Harrell) and 29 (Johnson) areinside the outer circles, and the word “team” is inside the center cir-cle. Banners bearing this logo have also been placed in each endzone at Neyland Stadium.

OPPOSING RUSHERS STRUGGLE TO HIT 100Tennessee’s defense has allowed just three opposing ballcarriers

to rush for at least 100 yards in the last 32 games. During that span,the opponents’ top rusher has averaged 71.4 yards per game.

Florida’s DeShawn Wynn is the most recent back to hit the 100-yard mark in a game against Tennessee, gaining 104 yards on 22carries Sept. 16. Wynn’s performance snapped a streak of 14straight games in which the Volunteers defense held the opponents’top rusher to less than 100 yards on the ground.

UNLV’s Dominique Dorsey (121 yards in the 2004 season-open-er) and current NFL standout Carnell “Cadillac” Williams (100 yardsin the 2004 SEC Championship Game) are the only other backs toreach 100 yards against UT in the last 32 games.

Among the backs who recently came up short in their quest for100 yards are such names as Ronnie Brown, Kenneth Darby(twice), Joseph Addai, Thomas Brown, Darius Walker andMarshawn Lynch.

GAME NOTES: VOLSvsTIGERS

Saturday’s LSU game marks the 65th straight Tennessee football game that a member of the Colquitt family has been the Vols’ starting punter ...

“VOL SCHOLAR” INSIGNIA RECOGNIZES ACADEMIC DILIGENCEThe VOLScholar program, an initiative of UT’s Thornton Athletics Student Life

Center in cooperation with the men’s and women’s athletics departments, is acomprehensive academic and citizenship-building program that has gainedenthusiastic support from several of UT’s athletic teams. Student-athletes earnthe right to wear the VOLScholar patch by achieving a 3.0 grade-point average

in the previous fall and/or spring semester. “We have a lot of outstanding young men and women in our program that are doing

great things on and off the field of competition,” said Mike Hamilton, men’s athletics direc-tor. “This is just another way to recognize them for their behavior and prepare them for lifeafter school.”

SCORING STREAKTennessee has scored in 154 consecutive games dating back to a 31-0 shutout by

Florida in Knoxville in 1994. It is the second-longest streak in the SEC, trailing Florida’s221. UT’s home scoring streak is at 80, while it has scored in 144 straight games awayfrom Neyland Stadium. The Vols’ last road shutout was handed down by Georgia in 1981,44-0.

FULMER APPOINTING GAME CAPTAINSFor the first time in the Phillip Fulmer era — and the first year overall since 1990 —

Tennessee began a season without predetermined team captains. The Vols are namingcaptains on a game-by-game basis to open the season, but Fulmer has left open the pos-sibility of naming permanent captains at some point during the year.

The list of Vols who have served as captains so far this season includes CoryAnderson, Ben Greene, Justin Harrell, Inquoris “Inky” Johnson, David Ligon, TurkMcBride, Matt McGlothlin, Marvin Mitchell, Arron Sears, Bret Smith, Antwan Stewart,Jayson Swain, Jonathan Wade, Ryan West, James Wilhoit and David Yancey.

The last time a UT team utilized this approach to captaincy, the Vols finished 9-2-2 andwon the 1990 SEC Championship.

FUTURE MATCHUPS SET WITH ELITE NATIONAL PROGRAMSNever shying away from facing elite competition, Tennessee’s future schedules feature

matchups with some of the nation’s top-flight college football programs.In the near future, UT hosts NC State Aug. 30, 2007, and travels to UCLA Sept. 6, 2008.Tennessee also has an outstanding slate of non-conference opponents signed to

contracts beginning in 2010. The Vols host Oregon that season, travel to North Carolinain 2011, host the Tar Heels in 2012, travel to Oregon in 2013, visit Oklahoma in 2014, hostthe Sooners in 2015, travel to Nebraska in 2016 and host the Cornhuskers in 2017.

During the Fulmer era, Tennessee’s non-conference schedule has included elite com-petition on an annual basis. The Vols have played Notre Dame four times, UCLA threetimes, Miami (Fla.) twice and Syracuse twice, along with meetings against California,Fresno State, Louisville, Washington State, Oklahoma State, Marshall and Texas Tech.

VOLS SEC ATTENDANCE LEADER FOR 32nd STRAIGHT YEARTennessee claimed its 32nd straight SEC attendance crown in 2005. The Volunteers

led the league with a total attendance of 645,558 over six games for an average of107,593. It was the second-best average attendance mark in school history, missing the2000 record by only two fans per game.

UT was the only league team to post a total attendance of more than 600,000 in 2005.

TENNESSEE TOPS IN SEC OVER LAST DECADETennessee maintains its standing as the winningest team in the SEC over the last 10

years (1996-2005) in terms of victories and percentage. The Vols were 95-30 during thatspan for a percentage of .760, ranking them fifth nationally in percentage and sixth inwins.

VOLS REGULARS ON TELEVISIONSince 1990, Tennessee has had 168 games broadcast on national or regional televi-

sion (excluding pay-per-view). That’s 81.6 percent of Tennessee’s total games playedsince 1990 that have been televised.

WORKING OVERTIMESince the NCAA established a tiebreaker system for Division I in 1996, Tennessee is

5-1 in overtime contests. The Vols have won the coin toss four times and chosen to playdefense three times. The only time UT chose offense after winning the toss was againstFlorida in 1998.

Tennessee has played the second- and third-longest overtime games in NCAA historyat six (Arkansas 2002) and five periods (Alabama 2003). The Vols won both games.

All three times the Vols have gone to overtime in Knoxville, the score at the end of regulation has been 17-17. UT is 3-3 in games following overtime contests.

Key Games in the Series

Sept. 29, 2001 - Tennessee 26, LSU 18Tennessee’s storied history of wonderful wide receivers wel-

comed a new inductee to the ranks.Kelley Washington caught 11 passes for a UT record 256

yards as the Vols outlasted LSU 26-18 at Neyland Stadium.For his efforts, Washington was named SEC Offensive Playerof the Week.

Tennessee’s opportunities were limited during the first 30minutes, a half that saw the Vols fortunate to trail only 7-6.LSU’s Rohan Davey connected with Michael Clayton on a 67-yard touchdown strike early in the first quarter for the Tigerpoints, and UT added a pair of Alex Walls field goals from 42and 44 yards during the second period.

But the Vols opened the third quarter with a 16-play, 82-yarddrive that consumed 7:20 off the clock and resulted in CaseyClausen’s three-yard draw for the score. UT missed its two-point conversion try and led 12-7.

Tennessee then held the Tigers on downs and exploded onoffense. Travis Stephens rushed three times for a first downbefore Clausen zipped a 70-yard strike through two defendersto a streaking Washington for a 19-7 lead. The Vols regainedpossession later in the period and proceeded to march anoth-er 70 yards in 10 plays before Stephens’ 1-yard plunge madeit 26-7 with 11:46 left in the game.

The Tigers rallied in the final 11 minutes, posting 11 pointsand heaving a potential game-tying pass attempt into the endzone as time expired. Davey finished with 356 yards passingand two touchdowns, but the Vols limited LSU’s rushing attackto just 29 yards on 20 attempts.

Sept. 30, 2000 - LSU 38, Tennessee 31 (OT)The Tigers raced to a 24-6 halftime lead and held a 16-point

lead in the fourth quarter, before a furious Vol rally forced over-time. However, LSU made key plays in overtime to pull off a 38-31 upset of the 11th-ranked Volunteers.

The two teams traded first quarter field goals, leaving thescore tied at 3-3 entering the second period, during which LSUexploded. The Tigers scored on three consecutive drives topush their lead to a 24-6 halftime advantage.

Tennessee responded in the third quarter by scoring on twoof its first three offensive possessions. A touchdown, a failedtwo-point conversion attempt and an Alex Walls field goaltrimmed the lead to 24-15. Early in the fourth quarter, theTigers appeared to put the game away with a 53 yard TD passgiving the Tigers a 31-15 edge with 13:43 to play. The Volsdrove 92 yards in 13 plays on their next drive and scored on a16-yard pass. A two-point pass to Donte’ Stallworth cut the leadto 31-23 with more than nine minutes to play.

Tennessee started its final possession in regulation at itsown 41-yard line with just more than four minutes remaining.A. J. Suggs calmly led the Vols down the field, connecting withCedrick Wilson on a 16-yard TD to cut the lead to 31-29. Suggsthen found Eric Parker on a two-point conversion to tie thegame with 1:24 left. LSU drove into field-goal range, but UT’sTad Golden blocked the kick, pushing the game to overtime.

LSU took command of the overtime session quickly, scoringon the Tigers’ first play. Trailing 38-31, Tennessee drove to the4-yard line but threw incompletions on third and fourth downsand LSU escaped with a win.

Nov. 7, 1959 - Tennessee 14, LSU 13LSU dominated the game in every statistical aspect, but the

Vol defense refused to break with the game on the line. UTlinebacker Jim Cartwright's interception return for a touchdownin the third quarter tied the game 7-7, and then fullback NeyleSollee scored on a 14-yard run to put the Vols up 14-7 headingto the fourth quarter.

Midway through the fourth, the Tigers scored on a quarter-back sneak. Everyone in the stadium knew LSU would go fortwo and hand the ball off to Billy Cannon. In what has come tobe known simply as "The Stop" Tennessee's defense madeone more goal-line stand and stopped Cannon tantalizinglyclose to the end zone to preserve the one-point victory.

THE SERIES: Tennessee vs. LSU

Last Meeting

Sept. 26, 2005Tiger Stadium - Baton Rouge, La.

Attendance: 91,986

BATON ROUGE, La. - Rick Clausen stunned a packed Tiger Stadi-um and completed the most improbable of comebacks in leading No.10 Tennessee to a 30-27 overtime win against fourth-ranked LSU inBaton Rouge.

Clausen, who transferred to UT from LSU in 2003, came off thebench and rallied the Vols from 21 down to send the game into over-time tied at 24.

From there, it was Gerald Riggs Jr. who shouldered the rest. Hecaught a 10-yard pass, then rushed for 14 more yards. From the 1, hepushed a would-be tackler across the goal line, trumping Colt David'sfield goal for LSU and completing the Vols' dramatic script of whatappeared to be a surefire Tiger win.

Trailing 24-7 heading into the fourth quarter, Clausen drove the Vols75 yards in 13 plays to cut the Tigers' lead to 10. He called his ownnumber, sneaking it in for a touchdown and deflating LSU's paddedlead.

Three plays into LSU's ensuing drive, UT's Jonathan Hefneystepped in front of JaMarcus Russel's pass and returned it 26 yards tothe 2-yard line. Riggs punched it in, and suddenly the Vols were with-in three, 24-21, with 7:15 left.

After the Tigers were forced to punt, Riggs busted loose for a 22-yard gain, and James Wilhoit capped the drive with a 28-yard game-tying field goal that muted the LSU crowd.

It was Clausen, however, who grabbed the spotlight by taking chargeof the second half and finishing 21-of-32 for 196 yards and a touch-down.

Feeding off an emotional month in which hurricanes Katrina and Ritaravaged the Bayou and forced this game to be played on a Monday,LSU exploded to a 21-0 first-half lead thanks in part to three Tennesseeturnovers. Two of the giveaways resulted in touchdowns for the Tigers,including a Kenneth Hollis interception and 3-yard touchdown return.

Clausen entered the game on UT's next possession, and the Volsoutscored the Tigers 30-6 from then on.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT NEYLAND STADIUM

“It’s static noise. You can’t hear anything. You go up and down the line, your wide receivers, your running backs, your tightends ... nobody can hear. Nobody.”

-- Cal quarterback Nate Longshore after the ninth-ranked Golden Bears fell in Neyland Stadium 35-18 Sept. 2, 2006

“As a coach, I’ve been a part of teams that traveled to LSU, Florida State, Texas and almost every other place in the country that could be considered one of the toughest places to play as a visiting team. But when I was at Notre Dame,we went down to Knoxville for a night game in 1999, and the Tennessee crowd that night was the most impressive that Iever faced. Neyland Stadium was just electric.”

-- Bob Davie, ESPN Game Analyst and former college coach

The namesake of the Home of the Vols, Gen. Robert R. Neyland(1892-1962) coached Tennessee squads that held 112 opponentsscoreless during his distinguished career on the sidelines.

fourth-quarter scoring toss to Indianapolis Colts teammate MarvinHarrison. The TD marked the tandem’s 86th scoring strike, break-ing the previous NFL record of 85 by Steve Young and Jerry Riceof the San Francisco 49ers (1987-1999).

It took Manning and Harrison only seven and a half seasons tobreak the record, while Rice and Young needed 13 full seasons toset the previous league mark. In 2004, Manning set an NFL sin-gle-season record with 49 touchdowns passes.

Manning and Harrison are also the first QB-WR tandem in NFLhistory to combine for more than 10,000 yards.

ning back Joseph Addai Sept. 17 vs. the Texans, it did more thangive Addai his first career touchdown. It also gave Manning anoth-er team record.

2006 TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS CAREER STATISTICS

GAME 1 - CALIFORNIA

Sept. 2, 2006

CALIFORNIA 18TENNESSEE 35

KNOXVILLE - Tennessee opened its sea-son with a dominating win over No. 9 Califor-nia on Saturday night at Neyland Stadium,showing off a born-again offensive attack andburying the Golden Bears 35-18 in the lid-lifter for both squads.

"I'm obviously very proud of our footballteam," head coach Phillip Fulmer said. "But I

honestly can't sit here and tell you that I didn't expect it. "We prepared extremely well. We came out of the dressing room ready to

go. That corny little motto - 'Fired up, focused and prepared' - seems like it'sworking so far."

Whatever it is, it worked like a charm for the Vols.UT jumped out to a 35-0 lead early in the second half behind the hot hand

of junior quarterback Erik Ainge - who set a career-high with 291 yards andfour touchdown passes in his first start under center with offensive coordi-nator David Cutcliffe calling the shots.

"David Cutcliffe has energized our offensive football team," Fulmer said."I'm proud of our staff, and I'm proud of our team.

"The guys were ready to play. We've been waiting for this. It's been aphysical spring, a tough summer and the last few weeks have been verydemanding. But when you win, you have fun. And that's why you play."

Nobody had more fun than Ainge, who opened his junior campaign bynearly throwing for more touchdowns than he threw for in all of his sopho-more season (five).

"If Cutcliffe told me to play without a helmet or a mouthpiece or with onecleat, I would do it," Ainge said. "Anything he tells me, I'm going to do. I thinkwe've all bought in as an offense."

The defense wasn't too bad, either.The Vols shut down Heisman Trophy candidate Marshawn Lynch and the

California passing attack until the game was decided, allowing only a fieldgoal to break up the shutout and a couple of meaningless touchdowns afterUT built the 35-point lead.

Lynch finished with 76 yards on 12 carries, and the Vols added threesacks - all by sophomore linebacker Jerod Mayo - and two interceptions inthe stellar defensive effort.

"It was a great performance by the defense," senior defensive tackleJustin Harrell said. "We were very prepared for this team coming in. Weknew what we could do.

"We knew we wanted to dominate the line of scrimmage and get to therunning backs as best as we could and show California this isn't an easyplace to come in and get a 'W.'"

GAME 2 - AIR FORCE

Sept. 9, 2006

AIR FORCE 30TENNESSEE 31

KNOXVILLE - When it mattered most,Tennessee finally figured it out.

After struggling to find a way to stop theAir Force rushing game for nearly 60 min-utes, the No. 11 Vols put the clamps on theFalcons on a two-point conversion attemptlate in the fourth quarter to hold on to 31-30

victory at Neyland Stadium."We were lucky we were in the right call," UT defensive coordinator John

Chavis said. "The biggest thing, though, was that Xavier Mitchell made anoutstanding play."

The Falcons rushed for 281 yards on the night, but Mitchell broke into thebackfield to keep Air Force (0-1) from getting the last three yards needed todeliver the final blow in what would have been a monumental upset of theVols (2-0).

Air Force tried a pitch play to wing back Chad Hall, but Mitchell quicklycollared him and tossed him for a loss to preserve the victory.

"Chief (Chavis) just made a great call on that play," Mitchell said. "I linedup wide outside the wing, and obviously my thought when they put it on theright hash was they were going to toss left. I just got up field and made theplay."

It was by far the biggest defensive play of the night, but it was the UToffense that stole the show for most of the contest.

Erik Ainge broke his one-week-old career high for passing yards with 333against the Academy, completing 24-of-29 attempts for three touchdownsand one interception.

Robert Meachem was the biggest beneficiary of Ainge's prolific perform-ance once again, hauling in a career-best eight catches for 115 yards andtwo scores. Meachem and Ainge have hooked up for four scoring strikes inthe Vols pair of season-opening wins.

"Erik was outstanding," UT head coach Phillip Fulmer said. "He wasthrowing the football well, and he was very sharp. The line protected well,the route-running was good and he managed the game extremely well."

The UT win sets up an SEC showdown between a pair of highly-ranked,unbeaten teams on Saturday in Knoxville. No. 7 Florida travels to NeylandStadium to face the Vols in important divisional battle.

"Give a lot of credit to Air Force for the effort they gave," Fulmer said."They played their hearts out.

"I'm just absolutely elated to get out of there with a win, get out of thisthing and get ready for the next one."

GAME 3 - FLORIDA

Sept. 16, 2006

FLORIDA 21TENNESSEE 20

KNOXVILLE - Tennessee couldn't find away to run the ball, and it almost didn't mat-ter.

Despite finishing in the red on the ground,the Vols nearly upset No. 7 Florida on Satur-day night at Neyland Stadium, coming up onepoint short in the 21-20 loss in front of

106,818 fans."You're going to have a hard time winning in this league if you can't rush

the ball," head coach Phillip Fulmer said. "I thought (running back) Montario(Hardesty) did a nice job.

"We just didn't give him any room to run up front. Florida did some differ-ent things in their schemes that worked nicely and managed to stop the run."

Hardesty was held to 14 yards on 17 carries, and the Vols finished withminus-11 yards rushing. Quarterback Erik Ainge was sacked for the first twotimes this season, but the UT defense nearly allowed the Vols to escape witha win in their SEC opener.

The Vols sacked Gators quarterback Chris Leak three times and inter-cepted him once, helping UT build a 17-7 lead in the third quarter. Leak's 21-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Baker with just over six minutes left in thegame gave Florida a lead it wouldn't relinquish. The Gators stopped a last-gasp Vols drive when Ainge's fourth-and-16 pass intended for RobertMeachem was intercepted to preserve the win.

"Anytime you're (fourth-and-16), against a group of athletes like Floridahas, it's tough," Ainge said. "We sent four verticals, and they had guys overthe top, so I tried to sneak one into (Meachem), and we weren't on the samepage."

In a match-up of two marquee signal-callers, the defenses stole the show.Neither quarterback passed for more than 200 yards, and both passersfaced relentless pressure all night long.

Justin Harrell recorded three tackles in his final collegiate game, and thesenior was often in the backfield helping to rush Leak from the pocket. Har-rell is scheduled to have surgery to repair a ruptured biceps in his left arm -a procedure that will end his season.

"(In the locker room) I thanked Justin Harrell for his commitment to ourteam," Fulmer said. "The team gave him a standing ovation, and it was avery emotional moment for him and our football team."

GAME 4 - MARSHALL (Homecoming)

Sept. 23, 2006

MARSHALL 7TENNESSEE 33

KNOXVILLE - Headed towards anotherfourth quarter of nail-biting, Tennessee tookthe long way around in a very short time toavoid it.

LaMarcus Coker darted around left end onthe Vols' first play of the final frame, speeding89 yards down the sideline to help put Mar-

shall away 33-7 on a soggy Saturday at Neyland Stadium."That run was huge in the ballgame," head coach Phillip Fulmer said.

"There were still a lot of people squiggling in their seats, including the headcoach.

"LaMarcus has done well every time he's gotten an opportunity, and he'llget more (opportunities) as we go on. It felt great seeing him run down thesideline. I looked back first to make sure there were no flags. That's just thecoach in me. We hadn't had a long run like that in a long time."

Not since 1977, when Kelsey Finch ran 99 yards for a touchdown againstFlorida. Coker's carry - the third-longest in school history - put the freshmanover 100 yards on the ground for the first time in his career and turned a tight16-7 game into an easy 26-point win for the No. 15 Vols (3-1).

"I was happy to be out there getting a chance," Coker said. "I was just try-ing to help the team out.

"The offensive line did a great job on the touchdown run, and it was actu-ally (quarterback Erik) Ainge's call. It was just off to the races. I waited formy opportunity, and I was glad to take advantage of it."

All the Vols were waiting for an opportunity to put their loss to Florida oneweek earlier behind them, but they had to wait nearly an hour more than theyhad planned to take on the Thundering Herd (1-3). Heavy downpours and aflash flood warning pushed kickoff back 55 minutes and led to the first can-cellation of the UT tradition of running through the "T" to take the field sinceits inception in 1965.

"I thought both teams did a great job handling the weather," Ainge said."We got delayed, and both teams didn't let it affect them.

"We went out there and played hard. We just made more plays than theydid."

GAME 5 - MEMPHIS

Sept. 30, 2006

TENNESSEE 41MEMPHIS 7

MEMPHIS - Thanks to a nearly perfectgame, Tennessee finished with a perfectnon-conference record.

The Vols offense piled up yards and points- and the defense didn't give up much ofeither - as UT breezed past Memphis 41-7 atthe Liberty Bowl on Saturday.

The Tigers were the last scheduled team from outside of the SEC for No.15 UT (4-1), which beat all four opponents from outside its league.

The last win was hardly ever in doubt."I thought Tennessee played a great game and they have a very good

team," Memphis coach Tommy West said. "Tennessee really handed it to usand they were the more physical team and better team."

Quarterback Erik Ainge was 23-for-27 for 324 yards and four touchdowns,as the Vols spread out their attack and picked apart the Memphis second-ary. Ainge hooked up with Jayson Swain for a pair of scores, and the juniorsignal-caller's 84-yard strike to Robert Meachem midway through the thirdquarter put the game out of reach.

"I'm really proud of our football team," coach Phillip Fulmer said. "I thinkwe really worked to get better during the course of the year. We've come outof these games with some improvement, and that's what we needed."

The improvement was evident just about everywhere at the Liberty Bowl- which was at least half-filled with fans wearing orange and white.

Freshman LaMarcus Coker paced the running game in his first careerstart, carrying 26 times for 125 yards.

Swain and Meachem continued to pile up yards in the passing game,teaming up for seven catches, 221 yards and three touchdowns.

And the UT defense held the Tigers to just 121 total offensive yards andthe lone late touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

"We had three significantly long drives; two for scores and one we left atthe foot line," Fulmer said. "We talked about doing what good teams do.We're trying to be a good team.

"Our defense is still a work in progress as far as overcoming the loss of acouple key players. We spent a lot of time talking about stopping the run. Wetackled well. It was really a good effort by our guys today.

"We still have a way to go in some areas, but now we'll start getting readyfor the Georgia Bulldogs."

GAME 6 - GEORGIA

Oct. 7, 2006

TENNESSEE 51GEORGIA 33

ATHENS, Ga. - No surprise?Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge and the

rest of the Vols are surely in the minority.Ainge said he wasn't surprised with the

Vols' startling success on offense on Saturdaynight at Sanford Stadium, as UT demolishedNo. 9 Georgia's top-ranked scoring defense

en route to a 51-33 win over the Bulldogs."I'm not surprised we put up 51 points," Ainge said. "We knew we could

make plays and move the ball on Georgia. After our defense put up a fewstops, we knew we were going to win. The coaches did a good job putting inthe game plan and we executed."

And after a shaky first half that left the No. 13 Vols down by 17 at one point,UT (5-1, 1-1 SEC) executed to perfection. The Vols scored 37 points after half-time against a defense that had allowed just 34 points total in its first fivegames, scoring on seven straight possessions to give the Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1)one of their worst home losses in school history.

"It was an all-around team effort tonight," said Ainge, who helped the Volsput up the second-highest point total ever for an opponent at Sanford Stadi-um. "Our defense played well and special teams came up with a few big plays.

"I can't say enough about our offensive line. Half of them didn't practice thisweek, and yet they didn't miss a step.”

The offensive line gave Ainge plenty of time to operate - he was sacked justonce on a safety blitz - and he provided another sparkling performance. Thejunior signal-caller was 25-for-38 for 268 yards and three total touchdowns tolead the comeback and, eventually, easy victory.

"At halftime there was some serious butt chewing going on," coach PhillipFulmer said. "But I could not be more elated with our staff and our team forthe way we handled ourselves tonight. It was a heck of an effort when we weredown by 17 in first half."

The defense more than did its share in the second half as well, forcing fourturnovers and keeping the Bulldogs out of the end zone. With the exception ofa kickoff returned 99 yards for a score, the Vols dominated the last 30 minutesin all phases of the game.

"We knew coming out of halftime that we had to step it up," said cornerbackJonathan Wade, who nabbed one of the Vols' three interceptions. "We dugdown deep and made plays. Our team is full of playmakers and they showedup in the second half. In the second half we had to work on getting turnovers."

It might have been another surprise that it was the UT defense making theplays and forcing the turnovers instead of Georgia - just don't tell the Vols.

GAME 7 - ALABAMA

Oct. 21, 2006

ALABAMA 13TENNESSEE 16

KNOXVILLE - It wasn't his prettiest game,but Erik Ainge delivered when it matteredmost.

Ainge struggled in the first half on the ThirdSaturday in October, but he bounced backafter intermission and engineered a second

consecutive fourth-quarter comeback for the Vols, knocking off rival Alabama 16-13 at Neyland Stadium.

"Anytime you can win the Tennessee-Alabama game, however you get itdone, winning is what's important," Ainge said. "We know that it wasn't theprettiest game. We had our moments, but the bottom line is that we won."

For the second time in as many games, the No. 7 Vols weren't in positionto win until the final quarter. Against the Crimson Tide, Tennessee didn't takeits first lead until sophomore Arian Foster dove over the pile with 3:28 left inthe game.

"In the second half, the guts and toughness that this team showed to finish and get a win was just what we needed," coach Phillip Fulmer said. "Itake my hat off to Alabama. They gave a great effort, and our guys shouldn't expect any less. This is one of the great rivalries in college football."

And the 89th meeting between the two schools produced another greatgame, as the UT defense delivered one of its best performances of the season to keep the Vols' SEC championship hopes alive.

While the Vols offense was slumping against Alabama, UT was making itjust as hard on the Crimson Tide.

The Vols twice kept Alabama out of the end zone facing first-and-goal,and UT held the Crimson Tide to 53 yards rushing and sacked quarterbackJohn Parker Wilson three times.

"It's certainly a team game, and when one side of the ball is struggling -as our offense was at times tonight - it's great to have the other side of theball or the special teams step up," Fulmer said.

Eventually, the other side of the ball caught up with the defense. Ainge -who had thrown three interceptions in the first half - drove the Vols 70 yardsin nine plays to set up Foster's plunge. The junior signal-caller was 5-for-7for 63 yards on the scoring drive that finally put the Vols on top.

"He's been bouncing back ever since he got here," Fulmer said of hisquarterback. "The greatest thing is when you don't play well and can still winin the end, he helps us win the ballgame."

GAME 8 - SOUTH CAROLINA

Oct. 28, 2006

S. CAROLINA 24TENNESSEE 31

COLUMBIA, S.C. - There they go again.For the third-straight game Erik Ainge and

the Vols headed into the third quarter trailingon the scoreboard, only to flip the switch overthe last 15 minutes and author anothercome-from-behind win.

Tennessee - which has been downright dominant in the final frame sincefaltering late against Florida, outscoring opponents 85-20 in the last fivefourth quarters - was at it again on Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadi-um, turning a three-point deficit into a 31-24 win over South Carolina.

Ainge said he just wonders what the Vols are waiting for."If we played the way we do in the fourth quarter in the first three, then we

wouldn't have to win in the fourth quarter," the junior said.To be fair, the first quarter was pretty impressive as well.The Vols jumped out to a 14-0 lead following Marvin Mitchell's 17-yard

interception return for a touchdown and Ainge's five-yard scoring strike toBret Smith.

Mitchell finished with eight tackles to go with his pick, helping lead a UTdefense that kept the Vols in the game until the offense returned to formdown the stretch.

"Earlier in the season we had a little let down in the Florida game, and theguys took pride in stepping up in the fourth quarter," the senior linebackersaid. "We were just doing what we needed to do.

"The (16-15 loss to South Carolina) last year is always in the back of ourminds, but this year is a new year, and we have to take that and drive on.We'll always have a bad taste in our mouth from last year, but now we haveguys stepping up and playing like we should be."

They're certainly playing like as well as they need to come crunch time.Ainge hooked up with Smith again in the fourth quarter to give the Vols

the final go-ahead score, and UT hung on in the closing minutes to keeppace with Florida in the race for the SEC East title.

"To get the win on the road in the Southeastern Conference anytime is abig deal," coach Phillip Fulmer said. "I am particularly proud of this team asto how they have continued to fight back in a number of adverse situations.

"South Carolina did a good job, and you have to give them credit. Wehave shown some tenacity as a football team and some toughness, and wehave gotten ourselves to this point. I am proud of them.

"It won't do anything but get harder."
