I'm given a little more time on the sideline this time as Cal puts together a small drive. Cal can't keep the ball moving, and are forced to punt. Serra is stopped on the return at the UT33 and the Vol offense is back on the field with 2:08 left in the 1st QTR.
We go with a double tight end look this time, and it forces the Cal 8 man front to even up. So far this game, Cal had been shifting to the tight end side, so maybe this will help things out.
Brewster explodes off the left side for 8 yards on the first play. As Brewster gets up, he signals he's got something wrong with his helmet. He runs off the field and redshirt freshman Brandon Mason runs onto the field for the first action of his UT career.
We get Mason involved early tossing him the ball to the outside to see if he can turn the corner. It doesn't work and Mason gets just 1 yard on the play.
We're in a 3rd and 1 situation now and Brewster comes back in. This is a great time for a dive to our best back, and that's exactly what we do. Brewster gets us our yard, thanks again to a great block by our center Peters.
1st down, and we send Brewster off right guard for 12, which takes us to the Cal 45. Brewster then goes off right tackle for 2. 2nd down is a screen pass to the fullback Prescott, good for 5 to the Cal 38. This kills the rest of the first quarter.
With the 1st quarter over, it's UT 21, Cal 0
