Clausen says he gets too much credit for Tennessee's win
Among those he wants to see take a bigger step this weekend against Mississippi is freshman Demetrice Morley, who's pushing Antwan Stewart at strong safety."
thedailytimes.com - Clausen says he gets too much credit for Tennessee's win: "``I'm only one piece of the puzzle. A lot of people are kind of giving me a lot of credit where it's kinda not due. C.J. Fayton, all those receivers, Chris Hannon, Robert Meachem, Jayson Swain, Bret Smith, Josh Briscoe. Those guys played phenomenal. The offensive line did a great job. The running backs, fullbacks, tight ends blocked and made plays. I just started off. Those are the guys that make the plays,'' Clausen said."

Letdown Alert - Wild Boys
After a huge win on Monday, the Vols have to play Ole Miss after a short week of practice. This would be a prime game for an upset, so the Vols need to make sure they focus on Saturday's game and forget about Monday.
This may be old news, but for the record Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron is INSANE. "Coach O started to walk towards the door. He looked back at the team as they passed around the box and said, "I'm going to walk out of here right now, and when I come back in here, I'm going to have my shirt off, and I want everyone of you motherf*****s to have your shirts off too." He walked out and everyone, confused, started taking their shirts off. Sure enough, O walked back in, bigger than alot of the guys on the team, without his shirt on. He started yelling and telling the team that they needed to get loud. He said, "When I point to this side of the room, I want you to say 'Ole Miss.' When I point to this side, I want you to say, 'Wild Boys.'" Standing there with no shirt on with every guy in the room shirtless, started pointing to each side of the room. Half the team would yell, "Ole Miss" while the other would yell "Wild Boys." Apparently it got pretty crazy and guys started flipping chairs, yelling, and throwing cooler across the room while chanting Ole Miss... Wild Boys.
He then stopped and said, "One more thing. If any of you motherf*****s thinks you can take me, you come up here and get a piece of me right now." Photo courtesy Sooner Fark

Greatest Tennessee Wins Monday night's victory over LSU was one of the greatest comebacks in UT history. Where does it rank in the list of Tennessee's all time victories? What's your list?
CLAUSEN NAMED SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Nobody's All-American
ESPN.com - COLUMNIST/FORDE - Forde: Nobody's All-American"The hero of the greatest rope-a-dope performance since the original, Ali vs. Foreman, was Rick Clausen.
No, seriously. Rick Clausen. Nobody's All-American. The middle child cursed to be lost in the shadow of both big brother Casey (a four-year starter at Tennessee) and little brother Jimmy (one of the nation's top quarterback prospects)."
This is the kind of stuff they make movies about.......
Game Re-cap
No, seriously. Rick Clausen. Nobody's All-American. The middle child cursed to be lost in the shadow of both big brother Casey (a four-year starter at Tennessee) and little brother Jimmy (one of the nation's top quarterback prospects)."
This is the kind of stuff they make movies about.......

The 1st and 2nd quarters of this game have to be some of the worst Tennessee football I have ever seen. Offense, Defense, Special Teams, it just didn't matter. The team had no emotion and was not executing. The last quarter and a half.....sheer beauty. If Clausen is not the starting QB from here out, someone needs to be fired (I still think someone needs to be fired though....). Incredible win, to say the least. Defense held LSU to just 56 yards in the second half. They won the game for us. More recaps Here, Here, and Here
USATODAY.com - LSU, fans enjoy home, sweet home: "It was a stark contrast to the welcome Tennessee's team received when it arrived on campus two hours earlier. LSU fans rocked their buses and broke windows by throwing beer bottles at the Vols.
UT athletics director Mike Hamilton said the Tennessee party had four buses, and he was on the last one, which included other school officials and cheerleaders. 'They were throwing bottles at the buses and that kind of stuff,' Hamilton said. 'The bus I was on, they broke three of the windows.'"

BATON ROUGE – Due to Hurricane Rita and the uncertainty of the weather here on Saturday, ESPN's College GameDay has opted for another location for its show this weekend, producer Michael Fountain said on Wednesday night.
Fountain said this decision has no bearing on ESPN's telecast of the LSU-Tennessee football game, which is still scheduled to be broadcast to a national audience starting at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday.
Fountain said College GameDay will instead go to the Virginia Tech-Georgia Tech game in Blacksburg, Va.
"We are very disappointed about not coming to Baton Rouge and Tiger Stadium this weekend," Fountain said. "With the uncertainty of the weather, we just couldn't take a chance of not being able to have a show.
"We've looked at the LSU schedule and we are exploring the possibility of coming back to Baton Rouge on Oct. 15 for the Florida game."

Tennessee Defeats ........... Itself A few thoughts on the Game
- Our Special Teams Suck. That was the difference in the game. Blocked Kick...Missed 3 points, dropped punt return....Florida FG, Insane fake punt......Florida FG
- We need to send someone to Virginia Tech to learn about Special Teams
- Defense played a great game except for the Florida touchdown drive
- I am not impressed with the Urban Meyer Offensive Revolution
