Jimmy’s blog: Memphis rallies to upset cold shooting Vols
By Jimmy Hyams 
Memphis exposed some of Tennessee’s shortcomings Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena, fighting off a 12-point first-half deficit to snap the Vols 31-game home court win streak with a 51-47 slug-it-out victory.
Horrific shooting by Tennessee – especially from two senior guards — proved to be the undoing. Lamonte Turner (1 for 11) and Jordan Bowden (2 for 10) were a combined 3 for 21, and 1 for 11 from 3-point range.
And when they failed to get hot, Tennessee didn’t have enough answers from the supporting cast.
End result: Tennessee shot a frigid 22.2 percent from the field (15 of 60) and 4 of 26 from 3-point range Vols not named Josiah-Jordan James were a combined 1 for 20.
Tennessee (7-2) did get a brief offensive sparks from Drew Pember and Yves Pons and John Fulkerson. But it wasn’t enough against a younger, talented Memphis team that was minus two key starters and played with more poise down the stretch than UT.
“It means a lot,’’ said Hardaway, whose team was ranked higher than Tennessee but a 7-point underdog at tipoff. “We weren’t picked to win. To get a win against a team like this on their court is big for this team, big for the city of Memphis.’’
Hardaway’s focus was on containing Turner and Bowden, who combined to average 27.7 points.
“We wanted to make them uncomfortable and make the ball find someone else,’’ Hardaway said.
The strategy worked, but it wasn’t all Memphis defense. Turner missed several open looks, as did Bowden. It was an uncharacteristic game for two shooters who have made big shots in big games in the past.
“I don’t think they’ll ever shoot like this the rest of their career,’’ Hardaway said.
Tennessee coach Rick Barnes was at a loss to explain his team’s inept shooting. He noted that his three best shooters were a combined 6 for 30.
“On the offensive end it’s tough,’’ Barnes said, “because when you’re open, it’s tough not to take open shots. We also have to figure out the flow of the game.’’
The game never had a flow. It was impacted by solid defense, poor shooting and, at times, sloppy play. Memphis had 17 turnovers to five assists while UT had 11 assists to nine turnovers.
Asked how he can get more consistent production from Turner and Bowden, Barnes said: “I don’t know the answer to that. I trust them. They’ve moved into new roles and they’ve got to figure it out.’’
Tennessee jumped out to a 17-5 lead 11 minutes into the game. But Memphis stormed back to take the lead at the break 25-24 on Tyler Harris’ coast-to-coast layup. That had to be a bit deflating to a UT team that had lead throughout the half.
The game was tight throughout the second half, but in the end, Memphis made the key plays – and shots — and UT didn’t.
With Memphis up 49-47, Pons went to the foul line for a one-and-one that could have tied the game with 20 seconds left. He missed the first shot.
Memphis rebounded, and Alex Lomax was fouled with 7.9 seconds left. He made both ends of a one-and-one. Game. Set. Match.
James led UT with 14 points – he had 11 in the first 11 minutes but scored just three after missing a dunk.
Fulkerson had a work-man-like nine points, seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks, two steals and one huge compliment from Hardaway.
“What can you say about John Fulkerson?’’ Hardaway said. “He might be the hardest working man in the country.’’
After the fireworks that evolved from last year’s Tennessee win at Memphis, Hardaway, who took several verbal shots at Barnes last December, was escorted by police onto the court under a chorus of boos.
Did Hardaway ask for a police escort?
“No sir,’’ he said, “but I appreciated it.’’
Hardaway said his post-game comments last year were “misunderstood’’ and “not a good look’’ and “that’ll never happen again.’’
He added: “I take credit for my part.’’
For his part, Hardaway said he would like to see the UT-Memphis series continue beyond next year’s game in Nashville: “I’d love to keep it going.’’
Barnes was less committal: “`I’m not saying we will or we won’t.’’
As a proud Hardaway left his press conference, he said: “Go Tigers.’’
Go Tigers?
Who does he think he is: Ed Orgeron?

Video: Tennessee Football Bowl Practice 1 Footage
The Tennessee Volunteers opened up their bowl practices on Friday ahead of the January 2, 2020 TaxSlayer Gator Bowl in Jacksonville vs. Indiana. Here’s some video from Practice 1 in Knoxville.
UT Practice Report: Vols Back to Basics on Day 1 of Bowl Prep
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee football team began bowl game preparation on Friday on the indoor fields at the Anderson Training Center.
Inclement weather kept the Vols inside, but the team was still chomping at the bit to put the pads on following a nearly two-week layoff for finals. Tennessee will take a five-game win streak into the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, where they will face an Indiana Hoosiers squad, coming off an 8-4 campaign, on Jan. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ TIAA Bank Field.
“Today was our first day out at practice, so kind of back to the basics, the fundamentals,” Pruitt said. “It’s a great opportunity for everybody to kind of go back and start from ground zero, and that’s something that we started with today. We’ll continue to do that over the course of the next three or four days before we start working on Indiana.”
Similar to fall camp, the Vols will work a five-day install that focuses on fundamentals before beginning to work on the Gator Bowl game plan.
“We won’t get started working on our opponent until the sixth practice, the first five days we’ve really got to focus on us,” Pruitt said.
The Vols have proven to do a great job of focusing not only on football, but also academics under Pruitt. An impressive 12 Vols graduated on Thursday or Friday, including center Brandon Kennedy and long-snapper Riley Lovingood, who received their master’s degrees in sport psychology and motor behavior and communication studies, respectively.
Additional graduates included senior wide receiver Marquez Callaway, redshirt senior wide receiver Jauan Jennings, redshirt senior Darrell Taylor and redshirt junior quarterback Jarrett Guarantano (who walked at graduation this summer).
“Today is a really, really exciting day for a lot of guys in our program,” Pruitt said. “We had 12 guys that received degrees today…I’m proud of them. It’s the most important thing you’ll ever do when you go to college. You are a student first, and these guys do a fantastic job doing that. A lot of credit goes to them. Most of the credit goes to them, but I also would like to thank (Senior Associate Athletics Director / Assistant Provost) Joe Scogin in the Thornton Center. He and his staff have done a fantastic job in the short period of time that I’ve been here and it’s a great day for these kids and their families.”
Recruiting Staff the Backbone as Early Signing Day Nears
The Tennessee football office stays busy this time of year with bowl preparation, but also preparing for the Early Signing Day on Dec. 18. With the coaches on the road recruiting the last two weeks, Tennessee’s on-campus recruiting staff, led by director of on-campus recruiting Bethany Gunn, has worked tirelessly to make sure official visits for recruits and their families go smoothly.
“Bethany does a fantastic job,” Pruitt said. “She handles all of our on-campus recruiting. She and (assistant director of on-campus recruiting) Rachel Bell do a great job organizing, have great ideas that are fresh and always new. They do a great job communicating and we are very blessed to have everybody in our recruiting department, but especially those two. There are others and if I start talking about everybody that touches our recruits, there is more to it than just our coaching staff. Our recruiting staff, everybody in our program is involved when our recruits come on campus.”
Kennedy Prognosis for Bowl Game Undecided
Pruitt said Kennedy, the Vols’ starting center, had a knee procedure following the Vanderbilt game that will likely keep him from practicing for the next 10 days – after which, he will be evaluated to see if he will be available to practice heading into the final game of the season.
“We’ll look at him and see if (the doctor) thinks he’s ready to play or ready to practice, we’ll see where he’s at,” Pruitt said. “If he’s not, he won’t play, so it’ll be a couple of weeks before we know anything.”
Vols Sending Five to Post-Season All-Star Game So Far
Tennessee has already had five seniors accept invitations to post-season all-star games led by Taylor and Jennings heading to the Reese’s Senior Bowl on Jan. 25, 2020, in Mobile, Ala.
Callaway and senior linebacker Daniel Bituli are slated to play in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Jan. 18 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
Additionally, senior tight end Dominick Wood-Anderson has accepted an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 18 in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Jeremy Pruitt Press Conference | Dec. 13, 2019
Opening statement:
“Today is a really, really exciting day for a lot of guys in our program. We had 12 guys that received degrees today. I’m going to say their names because I’m proud of them: Matt Ballard, Marquez Callaway, Andrew Craig, Carlin Fils-aime, Jarrett Guarantano, Jauan Jennings, Brandon Johnson, Brandon Kennedy, Landon Knoll, Riley Lovingood, Darrell Taylor and Marcus Tatum. We had two guys who got their master’s degree in Brandon Kennedy and Riley Lovingood. So, it’s an exciting time for them and their families. It’s the most important thing you’ll ever do when you go to college. Student first, and these guys do a fantastic job doing that. A lot of credit goes to them. Most of the credit goes to them, but I also would like to thank Joe Scogin in the Thornton Center. Him and his staff have done a fantastic job in the short period of time that I’ve been here and it’s a great day for these kids and their families.
“It’s the end of the year, today’s the first day back out on the field. We had some guys that received some postseason awards. It’s always an exciting time for that. We had some guys that were invited to some all-star games, so really lots of positives going on. Today was our first day out at practice, so kind of back to the basics, the fundamentals. It’s a great opportunity for everybody to kind of go back and start from ground zero, and that’s something that we started with today. We’ll continue to do that over the course of the next three or four days before we start working on Indiana.”
On if anyone has decided to skip the bowl game in preparation for the NFL Draft:
“No.”
On Brandon Kennedy’s outlook for the bowl game:
“He had a little procedure done after the Vanderbilt game. He didn’t practice today, and he won’t practice for the next probably 10 days. In 10 more days, we’ll look at him and see if doc thinks he’s ready to play or ready to practice, we’ll see where he’s at. If he’s not, he won’t play, so it’ll be a couple of weeks before we know anything.”
On if Jerome Carvin is the only other option at center, besides Brandon Kennedy:
“No, Riley Locklear has played center. Ollie Lane has played center. We snap five and six guys every day. Now, when it comes to game prep, some of the guys haven’t taken some snaps in quite some time, but we started today, and they’ll have plenty of time to be ready to play.”
On if the team’s focus in practice today was where he wanted it to be:
“We had a few guys, based off the way the graduation went that missed today’s practice, just a handful, but it’s a great thing. It’s opportunity for some of the other guys and we had a good-spirited practice and we’ve got to continue to do that. Today’s the first day back, everybody’s excited to kind of get going. We’ll rely on our leadership over the next couple of days. We’ve got to really focus on Tennessee and improving fundamentally. That’s what we’re going to focus on for the next three or four days.”
On how tough he believes it is to be a student-athlete, in terms of time management:
“Obviously, there’s a 20-hour rule. They’re going to spend 20 more hours over here and I’m sure a lot of these guys, when you talk about treatment and lots of these guys do extra. They come to college for two things: get a degree and improve and be the best football player they can possibly be. They pour a lot of time into that and I think it’s a credit to all these guys who have performed on the field and off the field.”
On the balance during bowl prep between fundamentals and preparing for the opponent:
“We’ll spend the first five days just focusing on us. We’ll go back to camp practice or spring practice and go through our initial five-day install and get back to basics and give everybody lots of opportunities. We won’t get started working on our opponent until the sixth practice, the first five days we’ve really got to focus on us.”
On players using bowl practice to get extra reps
“Every practice is important. Nobody is guaranteed anything but that day. Football is such a developmental game, nobody can afford to take a day off. If you took the average of when everybody’s career ends, it is probably 22, maybe even less than that. If you get an opportunity to play beyond that, which there will be some that do, it is a short period, so you better take advantage of every opportunity that you have.”
On the role Director of On-Campus Recruiting Bethany Gunn plays in recruiting:
“Bethany does a fantastic job. She handles all of our on-campus recruiting. Her and Rachel Bell do a great job organizing, have great ideas that are fresh and always new. They do a great job communicating and we are very blessed to have everybody in our recruiting department, but especially those two. There are others and if I start talking about everybody that touches our recruits, there is more to it than just our coaching staff. Our recruiting staff, everybody in our program is involved when our recruits come on campus.

AFC SOUTH BATTLE HIGHLIGHTS WEEK 15 SLATE
To help celebrate the NFL’s 100th season, each week will feature an NFL 100 Game of the Week. Each game is a nod to a momentous game played, a fierce rivalry that spans decades, a matchup of original teams and/or a game in which history was made . The NFL has designated the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS-NEW ORLEANS SAINTS matchup as the NFL100 Game of the Week because the contest features the teams from Super Bowl XLIV. On Feb. 7, 2010, in Miami, Fla., the Saints dedicated their 31-17 victory to the New Orleans community, ravaged four years earlier by Hurricane Katrina. Trailing 10-6, Saints head coach SEAN PAYTON surprised everyone by calling for an onside kick to open the second half, and the Saints recovered to set up a go-ahead, 16-yard touchdown pass from DREW BREES to PIERRE THOMAS. The Colts went back on top, 17-13, with a 4-yard touchdown run by JOSEPH ADDAI, but the Saints shut out Indy’s high-powered offense over the game’s final 21 minutes. Brees guided New Orleans on a nine-play touchdown drive to take a fourth-quarter lead, hitting JEREMY SHOCKEY from 2 yards out, and TRACY PORTER returned an interception 74 yards for a touchdown, the final points in the Saints’ first world championship.
AFC SOUTH FIGURES TO GO DOWN TO WIRE: The TENNESSEE TITANS (8-5), who’ve vaulted into the heart of the AFC playoff race with four straight wins, host the HOUSTON TEXANS (8-5) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS). The two organizations that sit knotted atop the AFC South not only share roots in the city of Houston, they also meet twice in the season’s final three weeks, including a Week 17 rematch at NRG Stadium. And don’t count out the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (6-7), who are still in the hunt thanks to a 3-2 division record.
- Tennessee quarterback RYAN TANNEHILL last week completed 21 of 27 passes (77.8 percent) for 391 yards and three touchdowns with one interception for a 140.4 passer rating in the Titans’ 42-21 win at Oakland. Tannehill joined AARON RODGERS (three games in 2011) as the only players to complete at least 75 percent of their passes with a passer rating of 130 or higher (minimum 10 attempts) in three consecutive games in a single season in NFL history. Tannehill also joined RUSSELL WILSON (five games in 2015) as the only players with four consecutive games with at least two passing touchdowns and a passer rating of 125 or higher in NFL history.
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL: Through the first 14 weeks of the 2019 season, five teams – the BUFFALO BILLS (9-4), GREEN BAY PACKERS (10-3), MINNESOTA VIKINGS (9-4), PITTSBURGH STEELERS (8-5) and SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (11-2) – are in playoff position after missing the postseason a year ago. From 1990-2018 – a streak of 29 consecutive years – at least four teams have qualified for the playoffs in every season that were not in the postseason the year before. In 2018, seven of the 12 playoff teams missed the postseason the year before.
DIVISION-WINNING REBOUNDS: The NFL in 2002 expanded to 32 teams and realigned into eight divisions. Since that time, in 15 of the past 16 years, at least two teams have won their divisions the season after missing the playoffs. Heading into Week 15, two teams – GREEN BAY in the NFC North and SAN FRANCISCO in the NFC West – lead their respective divisions after missing the postseason in 2018.
BREES, BRADY IN RACE FOR MANNING’S RECORD: In Week 15, New England quarterback TOM BRADY (536) will get the first shot at the NFL’s career passing touchdowns record, held by PEYTON MANNING (539), when the Patriots travel to Cincinnati Sunday (1:00 PM, CBS). Saints quarterback DREW BREES (537) will follow on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN) when New Orleans hosts the Colts. Since 1950, eight players have held the career mark, one of the game’s most hallowed records.
The players that have held the NFL’s career passing touchdowns record, since 1950:
| PLAYER | TOUCHDOWN PASSES,
END OF CAREER |
SEASONS HELD
RECORD OUTRIGHT |
| Sammy BaughHOF | 187 | 1950-61 |
| Bobby LayneHOF | 196 | 1962-63 |
| Y.A. TittleHOF | 212 | 1963-66 |
| Johnny UnitasHOF | 290 | 1966-75 |
| Fran TarkentonHOF | 342 | 1975-95 |
| Dan MarinoHOF | 420 | 1995-2007 |
| Brett FavreHOF | 508 | 2007-14 |
| Peyton Manning | 539 | 2014- |
NOTE – With 187 touchdown passes, Baugh and Layne were tied at the end of the 1961 season
- Brees last week threw five touchdowns and added a rushing touchdown against San Francisco. Brees has 11 career games with at least five touchdown passes, the most such games in NFL history. He also became the fourth player in the Super Bowl era with five passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in a single game, joining MARK MALONE (Week 1, 1985), AARON RODGERS (Week 7, 2019) and MARK RYPIEN (Week 11, 1991).
FOOTBALL IS FAMILY: The BUFFALO BILLS (9-4) and PITTSBURGH STEELERS (8-5) meet on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC) in a game with significant AFC playoff implications. The game is also significant to the Edmunds family and in NFL history. Pittsburgh running back TREY EDMUNDS, 24, and safety TERRELL EDMUNDS, 22, will square off against their brother, Bills linebacker TREMAINE EDMUNDS, 21.
Sunday’s contest is expected to be the first known NFL game in 92 years with three brothers on the same field. The last time it is believed to have occurred was the end of the 1927 season when JOE, COBB and BILL ROONEY played for the DULUTH ESKIMOS.
In the 2018 NFL Draft, Tremaine (No. 16, Buffalo) and Terrell (No. 28, Pittsburgh) became the first pair of brothers to be selected in the first round of the same draft. The Edmunds’ father, FERRELL EDMUNDS, was a two-time Pro Bowl selection at tight end during his seven-year NFL career with the Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks.
BEARS-PACKERS REACHES 200: The CHICAGO BEARS and GREEN BAY PACKERS renew one of the richest rivalries in sports history on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX). Sunday’s contest is the 200th meeting in the series, including postseason.
- Bears quarterback MITCHELL TRUBISKY has thrown three touchdown passes in each of his past two games, wins over the Lions and Cowboys, respectively. Meanwhile, in his past eight games at Lambeau Field against Chicago, Green Bay quarterback AARON RODGERS has 23 passing touchdowns and two interceptions for a passer rating of 116.0.
The career leaders in the Bears-Packers series, including postseason, in notable categories:
| PLAYER | CATEGORY | MARK |
| Aaron Rodgers | Passer rating (min. 100 att.) | 105.2 |
| Brett Favre | Passing touchdowns | 53 |
| Brett Favre | Passing yards | 7,660 |
| Walter Payton | Rushing yards | 2,484 |
| Donald Driver | Receptions | 88 |
| Don Hutson | Receiving yards | 1,461 |
| Walter Payton | Scrimmage yards | 2,922 |
| Mason Crosby | Points scored | 185 |
LAST-SECOND WIN IN STARTING DEBUT: The DENVER BRONCOS and rookie quarterback DREW LOCK, who has won his first two starts, head to Kansas City to meet the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS). On December 1, Lock led the Broncos to a dramatic walk-off win over the Chargers, 23-20, in his first NFL start. The last quarterback to do that prior to Lock was his opponent Sunday, Chiefs quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES, who made his first NFL start at the end of his 2017 rookie season on the same field in Denver. Mahomes and the Chiefs beat the Broncos, 27-24, as time expired on December 31, 2017,
- Lock, making his first-career road start last week, passed for 309 yards with three touchdowns and one interception for a 136.0 passer rating in the Broncos’ 38-24 win at Houston. He became the first rookie in the Super Bowl era to pass for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in his first career road start.
- Denver running back PHILLIP LINDSAY had 55 scrimmage yards (51 rushing, 4 receiving) and a rushing touchdown on Sunday. Lindsay, who had 1,278 scrimmage yards as a rookie in 2018, has 1,004 scrimmage yards this season and is the third undrafted player with at least 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two seasons in the common-draft era.

UT Announces Time Change for Jan. 2 Lady Vol SEC Opener vs. Missouri
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Lady Vols’ SEC-opening basketball game vs. Missouri in Thompson-Boling Arena on Jan. 2 will now tip at 5 p.m. ET, the UT Athletics Department announced on Friday.

The coaching staff and administration at Mizzou were agreeable to that change, as were officials at the league office and SEC Network.
The UT-MU game can be seen live and in its entirety on SECN+ at 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 2. SECN+ games are online broadcasts and are available only on WatchESPN via computers, smartphones and tablets.
