A FAMILIAR
REFRAIN

Though defense shaky
in 59-30 shootout win
over Bowling Green
The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The Tennessee

Volunteers have their first victory as a
ranked team since the end of the 2007
season, showing off a rushing attack to
be envied even in the Southeastern Conference.
Sticking around the Top 25 will require
a little work on defense.
Jalen Hurd had three first-half touchdown runs, Alvin Kamara ran for two
more scores, and No. 25 Tennessee beat
Bowling Green 59-30 on Saturday in a
season opener delayed 80 minutes by
lightning.
That was a long game, Tennessee
coach Butch Jones said about the game
that finished more than five hours after
kickoff.
Ranked for the first time since September 2012, Tennessee won its first
game as a ranked team since the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1, 2008. The Vols also
had two running backs top 100 yards for
the first time since 2009 against Western
Kentucky with Hurd finishing with 123
yards, Kamara had 144 in his Tennessee
debut. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs added a TD and 89 yards.

WISE, Va. The September swoon
sullied a season opener for the University of Virginias College at Wise once
again.
The Highland Cavaliers couldnt hold a
21-point lead in suffering a 47-28 loss to
Tusculum College on Saturday night at
Carl Smith Stadium, allowing 548 yards
of total offense.
UVa-Wise hasnt won a game in the
month of September since 2011, also the
last time the Highland Cavaliers were
victorious in their first game.
The Cavs went up 21-0 with 6:44 remaining in the second quarter when Calvin Michie caught an 8-yard touchdown
pass from Jeremy Eubank. Tusculum responded with 44 consecutive points.
We came out firing and got a 21point lead and we got comfortable, said
UVa-Wise senior wide receiver Terrence
Younger. Then the game just got out of

Dobbs also threw for 205

yards and two TD passes to
Ethan Wolf, and the defense
came up with three sacks and a
turnover. Tennessee outgained
the Falcons 604-557 even with
two touchdowns wiped out by
penalties. But Bowling Green
coach Dino Babers said he felt
they played to a draw defensively.
I promise you that someones not going to sleep over
there based off of their defense
either, Babers said about the
Vols.
Bowling Green had Matt
Johnson back after hurting his
hip in the opener last year, and
he threw for 424 yards and two
touchdowns against a Tennessee secondary that lost two
projected starters in August to
injuries with assistant coach
Willie Martinez suspended
just before the game for an impermissible contact violation
16 months ago.
Jones defended his secondary, saying Bowling Green
made some great plays. Evan
Berry also started at strong
safety with Todd Kelly Jr. in the
hospital part of the week with
an infection. But Jones said
not having the assistant head
coach upstairs in the box hurt
communication.
Tennessee senior safety Brian Randolph said hes not worried with Oklahoma coming to
Knoxville on Sept. 12.
Were much better than we
showed tonight, Randolph
said. Its all stuff we could
correct, so its not doom and
gloom here.
Lightning stopped play with
8:30 left in the third quarter,

and a fan tried running on the

field during the delay only to
be tackled by security.
The Falcons from the MidAmerican Conference kept
attacking with an offense that
looks just as speedy as last
season when only Baylor and
Arizona ran plays faster in the
Football Bowl Subdivision.
Four of their scoring drives
lasted no longer than 2 minutes, 20 seconds. But they hurt
themselves with repeated penalties, flagged 12 times for 128
yards.
Tennessee topped that with
five TD drives taking 73 seconds or less each.
With this game a three-hour
drive west of Knoxville, the
Volunteers made themselves
at home in the stadium where
the NFLs Tennessee Titans
play. They held their traditional Vol Walk, painted a Power
T in the middle of the field
and draped their orange tarp
on their side of the field.
Then the Vols scored TDs on
each of three first three possessions with Hurd and Kamara swapping the honors of
finishing those drives in taking
a 21-3 lead.
Bowling Green got to 21-20
with 17 straight points, including one drive where they gambled on fourth-and-1 at its own
13. But running back Travis
Greene was hurt after catching
a short pass near the Falcons
goal line and being hit by cornerback Cam Sutton. Greene
was helped to the locker room
and watched the second half
from the sideline.
Tennessee responded, scoring twice in the final 2 minutes before halftime. Hurd ran
13 yards for his third TD, and
Dobbs tossed an 11-yard scoring pass to Wolf.

A sophomore from Gaffney,
South Carolina, making his
first collegiate start, Lancaster
threw for 311 of his 477 yards
in the second half and all four
of his scores against an undermanned UVa-Wise secondary.
We definitely got it together
in the second half, both offensively and defensively, Lancaster said. In the first half,
everybody was a little antsy
and running on adrenaline
and not using our heads. The
coaches did a good job of settling us down and we just had
confidence in what we were
doing.
Ken Funnye (10 receptions,
232 yards), Justin Houston (10
catches, 106 yards) and Evan
Altizer (two catches, 109 yards)
were Lancasters favorite targets and they made the most
of their touches.
While Tusculum thrived in
the games final 30 minutes,
UVa-Wise went south in the
terms of offensive production.
UVa-Wise had just seven first
downs in the second half and
only 196 of its 477 total yards.
We havent played with a
lead in a long time and weve

got to learn to keep the pedal

to the floor, said UVa-Wise
coach Dewey Lusk. We had an
opportunity a few other times
and it didnt work out for us.
The disappointing thing was
in the second half; we lost momentum.
We have to learn how to
handle that and handle adversity.
Younger finished with 139
yards on eight receptions,
while Eubank was 34-of-51
through the air for 344 yards,
three touchdowns and two interceptions.
Our offense was clicking a
lot better, Younger said. We
got a good start.
However, a bad ending
spelled disaster and more September struggles.
Its frustrating, Younger
said. But were not going to let
one game make our season.
NOTES: Carlton Griffith led
the Cavs with 78 rushing yards.
UVa-Wise threw three interceptions. Since the 2010 season began a span of 56 games
the Highland Cavaliers have
thrown 100 INTs. Zack Blair
led UVa-Wise with eight tackles. UVa-Wise plays at Notre

Emory & Henrys Chris Edwards looks downfield as he breaks a tackle against Ferrum on Saturday.

Wasps

Newsome said
Ferrum coach Dave Harper
stressed a physical approach in
the preseason after the Panthers
posted a 1-9 record in 2014. But
with the E&H defense crowding
the line of scrimmage, Ferrum
again had little success with its
traditional run-happy option attack.
Ferrum, which did not complete a pass until the 9:15 mark
of the first half, passed for a total
of 75 yards while losing the ball
on two interceptions and four
fumbles.
Facing waves of fresh defenders, junior quarterback Troy Helton was forced to carry the Panther offense.
Harper looked on the bright
side.
I think all of our turnovers
went for touchdowns one way
or other, Harper said. I thought
our time of possession was good
and we totally controlled the
ball in the second half. We just
turned the ball over.
Meanwhile, the Wasps gradually wore down the Ferrum defenders with their rapid-fire offense which features a physical
kick.
Working behind a new cast
of linemen that averages 295
pounds, sophomore running
back Chris Thompson rushed
for 82 yards and a score on 14 attempts.
For the game, Saxton completed 16-of-30 passes for 199
yards, three scores and no interceptions. Eight different players
caught passes for E&H.
We had the possession receivers last year. Now, weve got a
lot of athletes in the slot who can
run with the ball, Saxton said.
Thanks to a summer weightlifting program and a wise eating

plan, the smooth 6-foot-4 Saxton

has added 22 pounds.
I can definitely tell a difference in my lower body and I
have a lot more velocity on my
throws, Saxton said.
Newsome said he has been
pleased with the way Saxton has
become immersed in the nuances of the complex E&H offense.
E&H runs a play nearly every 12
seconds, with each call based off
a single word of instruction.
Kevin is a smart young guy
who we love having at that position, Newsome said. Football
is important to Kevin and he really studies the game.
Former Richlands standout
Josh Compton started at middle
linebacker for E&H while senior
strong safety Ryan Byrd led the
Wasps with 13 tackles.
Our scout team did a good job
this week preparing us for the
option, and we worked hard at
it, Byrd said.
Byrd directs a secondary that
features two redshirt freshman
starters in brothers Eric and Jaylyn Johnson. The Roanoke residents transferred from Shepherd
University.
Eric and Jaylyn are going to
be great players here, and then
weve got Trevon Lightfoot at the
other corner, Byrd said. Were
all pretty close.
Lightfoot contributed six tackles and two interceptions Saturday.
According to Byrd, no victory
over Ferrum is routine.
This was a statement game
because [Ferrum] is always coming up with excuses for why we
beat them, Byrd said.

Ive got it 100 percent down,

Saxton said. There were times

last year where I was guessing
and trying to pick up things, but
I can honestly read everything
like the back of my hand now. I
know what each player is doing
on every play.
According to Ferrum head
coach Dave Harper, there is
another factor behind the nineyear string of success for E&H
over his program and it goes
beyond offensive approaches.
In Division III, its not about
recruiting. Its about your financial aid department. If an athlete can get a good financial aid
package, thats the school they
are going to, Harper said. If
things are even, then it comes
down to facilities, majors and all
that stuff in Division III.
But if one team can give
$4,000 to $5,000 more to a
person than the other team can,
thats where the player and his
family is going. Were fighting
that battle extremely hard.
Freshman Skyler Simcox from
Abingdon added to the fun for
E&H fans, blasting field goals of
30 and 33 yards.

From Page D1

E&H head coach Curt Newsome and his assistants spent

extra hours this week attempting to decipher the unique Ferrum attack. The film room work
was evident.
The option is always hard to
prepare for, and I thought we really played hard on defense, he
said. Overall, I am happy.
The Wasps built a 38-7 halftime advantage as Kevin Saxton
completed 10-of-16 passes for
117 yards. The sophomore connected with freshman Kelman
Simpson and tight end Ashton
Cline for scores.
Saxton remained stoic after the
convincing triumph.
We looked rough at times,
but getting the win was the main
thing. This is just one step closer to our main goal of getting a
[championship] ring, Saxton
said.
The E&H offense has been
sparked by quick redshirt freshmen Kelman Simpson and Tyree
Ward. The dynamic pair, who are
both shorter than 5-foot-8, combined for 10 receptions and 108
yards in their E&H debut.
Coming in with this great
coaching staff is great, said
Simpson, a transfer from UNCPembroke. Weve got a lot of
athletes here and everyone is
buying into the program. We
could have one of the best offenses in Division III.
Considering the youthful
makeup of the E&H roster, more
fast times could be on the horizon.
Our team speed is heading in
the right direction, and nearly
all of these guys are freshmen,

NFL

QB Tebow cut
by Philadelphia
The Associated Press

Tim Tebow is the biggest name among NFL cuts for the
second time in three years.
Tebow had seemingly won the No. 3 QB job when Philadelphia traded Matt Barkley to Arizona on Friday.
But coach Chip Kelly cut the unconventional quarterback who showed improved accuracy since his first stint
in the NFL.
We felt Tim has progressed, but we didnt feel he was
good enough to be the [No.] 3 right now, Kelly said.
Tebow last played in a regular season game in 2012 with
the Jets, who traded for him a day after Peyton Manning
went to Denver. The Patriots cut Tebow in 2013 when he
failed to win a job as Tom Bradys backup, and Tebow
spent last year in the broadcast booth.
Tebow finished the preseason 21 of 36 for 286 yards,
two TDs and one interception. He also ran for 82 yards
and a score.
He really improved his throwing motion from when
he was throwing a couple of years ago, Kelly said. He
worked extremely hard on it and deserves a lot of credit
for that.
Just not a roster spot.
Tebow was among more than 700 players cut across the
NFL on Saturday as teams trimmed their rosters to 53.
Other quarterbacks who were jettisoned were veterans
Matt Cassel (Buffalo), Rex Grossman (Falcons) and Matt
Flynn, who hopes to return to the Jets after Week 1, when
his salary wouldnt be guaranteed.
One quarterback who isnt looking for work is Robert
Griffin III, who lost his starting job in Washington to Kirk
Cousins in the preseason but not his roster spot.
Other notable players whose phones buzzed with that
dreaded call to turn in their team-issued tablets included:
WR Reggie Wayne, who caught two passes in the preseason after joining the Patriots in mid-August.
DL Darnell Dockett after the 49ers gave him $2 million
guaranteed.
MLB Jameel McClain, who led the Giants last year
with 117 tackles.
