but it is fairly short.
Upback Aaron Greene takes the ball at the UT16 and returns the kick to the UT32. Greene, a senior running back from Bartlett, TN, has been rarely used in his years at UT. Recruited the same year as J.B. Brewster, he was relegated to the bench after dreams of making big plays for the Vols.
"Power I right, split left, 25, on 1, on 1", and with that we head out to the line of scrimmage.
Once again, we're thrown for a loop. Vanderbilt has switched defenses over the week. It looks like we'll be fighting a 50 defense today.
Brewster takes the handoff and heads for the right tackle hole but is stuffed for a 2 yard loss due to confusion by our offensive linemen. We reorganize in the huddle, and on 2nd down we gain 4 off right guard. 3rd and 8, we call a screen to FB Prescott. It nets 4, but leaves us 4 short of the 1st down.
No gambling here. Coach Fulmer sends in punter Daniel Wheeler.
Wheeler tries as hard as he can to put every punt inside the 20, but misses this by a yard. His 41 yard punt is fielded at the 21. The returner does lose 4, so technically, he's been stopped inside the 20.
1st and 10 Vanderbilt at the Vandy 17.
No score; 12:45 left in the 1st.
