Saturday’s game marks the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Tennessee is 14-0 in home openers all-time vs. teams not currently in a BCS conference. The Vols are beginning the year against an FCS opponent for the second consecutive year and defeated UT Martin 50-0 in the 2010 season opener.

2011 Schedule and Results
By The Numbers...
6 >> UT opponents ranked in the preseason AP and Coaches Top 25 polls, including a pair in the top four.
8 >> For just the fifth time in UT history, the Vols will play eight games in Knoxville (1928, 50, 2002, 09).
9 >> Touchdown passes Tyler Bray needs to enter the top ten all-time at UT.
14 >> Combined freshmen and sophomores that are pro-jected to start Saturday evening.
15 >> Consecutive wins for the Vols in season openers played in Knoxville.
36 >> Difference between amount of starts on starting offen-sive line between this year and last (39-3).
Up Next Next Saturday (Sept. 10), the Vols will host the Cincinnati Bearcats at Neyland
Stadium. The two teams will play for the fi rst time since 1992, a 40-0 Tennessee win in Knoxville. UT owns a 4-1 edge in the series, and all fi ve games have been played in Knoxville (1904, 1919, 1941, 1942 and 1992). Tennessee is playing a member of the currently constructed BIG EAST for the
fi rst time since Sept. 28, 2002, when the Vols defeated Rutgers 35-14 in Knoxville. The Vols are 15-4 (.789) all-time against current BIG EAST members. Cincinnati’s 18 returning starters are tied for the second-most the Vols will face
in 2011. Cincinnati appeared in BCS bowl games in two of the last three seasons, facing
off against Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl following the 2008 season and Florida in the Sugar Bowl following the 2009 season.
The 2011 Opponents Tennessee is set to face six teams in the preseason Top 25 this season: Alabama (2
AP/2 Coaches), LSU (4/4), South Carolina (12/12), Arkansas (15/14), Georgia (19/22) and Florida (23/23) Eight of Tennessee’s opponents earned a bid to play in a bowl game last season:
Florida (Outback), Georgia (Liberty), LSU (Cotton), Alabama (Capital One), South Car-olina (Chick-fi l-A), Middle Tennessee (GoDaddy.com), Arkansas (Sugar) and Kentucky (Compass). The three SEC West opponents on the Vols’ 2011 slate all fi nished in the top 12
last year: LSU (AP-8, Coaches-8), Alabama (AP-10, Coaches-11), and Arkansas (AP-12, Coaches-12), while South Carolina (AP-22, Coaches-22) is a fourth opponent that fi n-ished in the top 25 . Tennessee’s 2011 opponents compiled an overall 2010 record of 81-71. The Vols’
eight SEC foes in 2011 were a combined 62-42 a year ago.

2010 Recap Tennessee fi nished 6-7 in 2010, winning four consecutive games in Novem-
ber to earn a trip to the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, a game in which the Vols lost, 30-27, in double overtime to North Carolina. The bowl berth was the 49th for the Tennessee program, tying the Vols with
the Texas for the second-most all-time. NCAA Bowl Appearance LeadersAlabama 57TENNESSEE 49Texas 49USC 48Nebraska 47
Early Returns Tennessee received votes in both the preseason Associated Press (5 points)
and USA Today Coaches’ polls (7 points). There are eight SEC schools currently ranked in the Top 25 in both polls: Alabama (2 AP/2 Coaches), LSU (4/4), South Carolina (12/12), Arkansas (15/14), Georgia (19/22), Mississippi State (20/20), Florida (22/23), and Auburn (23/19).
Starting Lineup The projected starters on the depth chart for the Tennessee season opener
vs. Montana include seven returning off ensive starters: QB Tyler Bray, TB Tauren Poole, FB Channing Fugate, LT Dallas Thomas, C James Stone, RG Zach Fulton, and RT Ja’Wuan James. Additionally, the Vols will likely open on defense with four returning starters: DT Malik Jackson, CB Marsalis Teague, FS Prentiss Wag-gner, and SS Brent Brewer.
New Faces Against Montana, the Vols are slated to start two true freshmen at linebacker
in Curt Maggitt (pronounced Muh-JITT) at the SAM and A.J. Johnson at the WILL. It is believed that Tennessee has not started a true freshman at any of the linebacker positions in the season opener since freshman eligibility was reinstated in 1972. LCB Justin Coleman is the fi rst true freshman to start in the secondary in the
season opener for the Vols since Eric Berry in 2007 at California. If Maggitt, Johnson, and Coleman all start as projected on Saturday, it would
mark the fi rst time the Vols have started three freshmen in the season opener since the 2005 opener vs. UAB, when Ramon Foster (LG), Robert Meachem (WR), and Britton Colquitt (P) all started. QB Tyler Bray is the fi rst sophomore to start the season opener at quarter-
back for Tennessee since Erik Ainge in 2005. P Matt Darr is one of 10 freshmen in Division I FBS who are serving as the
starting punter this season.

NFL Draft Two members of the 2010 Tennessee Vols were selected in the NFL Draft:
tight end Luke Stocker by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4th Rd., 104th pick), and wide receiver Denarius Moore by the Oakland Raiders (5th Rd., 148th pick). There are currently 44 former Vols on NFL rosters, covering 25 of the leagues’ 32 teams.
To Note... Vol for Life
Since coming to Knoxville, Vols head coach Derek Dooley created the Vol For Life program, a comprehensive player enhancement program to develop to person outside of football. Former Vols defensive back Andre Lott is the Vol for Life Coordinator and works with UT’s football student-athletes to further their personal growth through the newly created program that centers on four areas: character education, life skills, character development and spiritual growth.
“Vol for Life transforms our young men into men of character, teaching values, human decency and life skills that will create lasting opportunity and happiness.” -Head Coach Derek Dooley

8 TENNESSEE FOOTBALL /// 2011 PRESEASON RELEASE
Second Season While head coach Derek Dooley enters his second
season at UT, six of the Vols’ opponents have head coaches who will be in either their fi rst or second sea-sons with their respective schools, including the Vols’ fi rst four challengers: Montana (Robin Pfl ugrad/2nd season), Cincinnati (Butch Jones/2nd season), Florida (Will Muschamp/1st season), Buff alo (Jeff Quinn/2nd season), Vanderbilt (James Franklin/1st season) and Kentucky (Joker Phillips/2nd season). Of those op-posing coaches, only UC’s Butch Jones has additional head coaching experience elsewhere.
Academic Excellence There are seven members of the Tennessee foot-
ball team who already have completed graduation requirements: Anthony Anderson, Nick Guess, Aus-tin Johnson, Ben Martin, Tauren Poole, Shane Reveiz, and Daryl Vereen.
We’re Going Streaking! Sophomore quarterback Tyler Bray threw for at
least two touchdowns in each of the 2010 season’s fi nal six games. With a pair of scoring tosses in the season opener vs. Montana, Bray can tie Peyton Manning’s UT record of consecutive games with two or more TDs. Manning accomplished the feat seven times be-
tween the 1997 Florida Citrus Bowl vs. Northwestern and the Vols’ matchup versus Alabama during the ‘97 season. Bray’s multi-TD string also tied with Auburn’s
Cam Newton as the highest in the SEC last season. Bray’s six-game touchdown streak is also the
longest active running in the SEC. Consecutive Games with TD Pass By SEC QBs

Digging The Long Ball Four of sophomore wide receiver Justin Hunter’s
UT freshman-record seven touchdown receptions came from 30-plus yards while nine of his 16 catches went for 20 or more yards. Hunter’s 25.9 yards-per-catch leads all returning SEC wideouts. His seven touchdown catches also tied him for the
most among all NCAA FBS freshman receivers in 2010.
Start Streaks Four Vols who started every game last year --
Ja’Wuan James, Tauren Poole, Dallas Thomas and Prentiss Waggner -- are all tied for the Vols’ most consecutive starts with 13.
Staying Active Of active SEC players entering 2011, defensive
lineman Malik Jackson ranks third with 10.5 career sacks while Bray ranks tied for fourth with 18 touch-down passes despite starting just fi ve games. SEC Active Career Sack Leaders

O-Line Pride After entering the 2010 season opener vs. UT
Martin with three starts on the off ensive line (all from Jarrod Shaw), a much more battle-tested front-fi ve will open 2011 for the Vols. Ja’Wuan James and Dallas Thomas each started all 13 games last season, while James Stone (eight starts), Darin Gooch (six), Zach Fulton (fi ve) and JerQuari Schofi eld (fi ve) bring additional experience. However, the projected off ensive line starters in-
cluding a junior in Thomas and four sophomores: LG Alex Bullard (transfer from Notre Dame), Stone, Fulton and James, have a combined 39 career starts. Accord-ing to a survey of media relations contacts, that ties for the second-fewest nationally in Division I FBS with Southern Miss and behind only New Mexico (14).

Chasing History Senior tailback Tauren Poole’s SEC lead-tying six
100-yard rushing games in 2010 were the fourth most in UT single-season history. With four more 100-yard games, Poole will enter the top fi ve chart for career 100-yard games. Last season, Poole became just the 15th tailback
at Tennessee to top the 1,000-yard rushing thresh-old. He can become just the second UT tailback to do it twice by repeating his performance this sea-son. Johnnie Jones is the only other Vol to rush for two 1,000-yard seasons, recording a 1,290-yard ef-fort in 1984 and a 1,116-yard performance in 1983.
Several Vols -- seven to be exact -- have gar-nered additional esteem from multiple national-ly-respected outlets, including preseason maga-zines’ Phil Steele and Lindy’s.

10 TENNESSEE FOOTBALL /// 2011 PRESEASON RELEASE
It’s all in the details for Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley, who spent his fi rst sea-son at Rocky Top laying the foundation on which to support his long-term vision of suc-cess for Tennessee football.
With his energetic personality, meticulous approach and belief in the dedication to both the character and on-fi eld development of the student-athlete, Dooley, 43, was able to refocus, reshape and rebrand the Volunteer program in one short year.
After being hired as Tennessee’s 22nd head football coach on January 15, 2010, Dooley had less than three weeks to assem-ble his staff and put the fi nishing touches on his fi rst of two consecutive recruiting classes ranked in the top 12 nationally. The momentum generated during those early weeks continued to build throughout the 2010 season, as Dooley piloted the Vols to a bowl game, redesigned the now under construction $40-million, state-of-the-art football training facility, established a new academic accountability system and developed the Vol For Life (VFL) comprehensive player support and character education program, a four-year curriculum that focuses on the often-overlooked personal growth of the student-athlete.
This increased commitment to excellence in all facets of the program provided the framework that helped the Vols exceed expectations on the fi eld in Dooley’s fi rst season at the helm. Despite serving as the third head coach of the Tennessee football team in a 15-month period and competing roughly 15-20 scholarship players below the established scholarship limit of 85, Dooley led his fi rst Vols squad to four consecutive November wins, an appearance in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl against North Carolina, and a 6-7 fi nish.
Dooley was the head coach at Louisiana Tech during the 2007-09 seasons and also doubled as the school’s athletic director from 2008-09. As the head coach of the football team, Dooley’s tenure was highlighted by an 8-5 mark in 2008, in-
cluding the school’s fi rst postseason victory in 30 years at the Independence Bowl and only the third bowl game since 1989.
Dooley played college football at Virginia, catching 41 passes for 604 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Cav-aliers to three bowl appearances and the 1989 Atlantic Coast Conference championship and graduating in 1990. He then earned his law degree from the University of Georgia in 1994 and subsequently practiced law at a private fi rm in Atlanta for two years. He then switched gears and returned to his love of football, beginning his coaching career in 1996 as a graduate assistant at Georgia and then spending three years at SMU from 1997-99 as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.
Dooley then coached at LSU under Nick Saban from 2000-04, with the Tigers winning SEC championships in 2003-04 and the BCS national championship in 2003. Dooley then served as the tight ends coach for Miami Dolphins from 2005-06.
Dooley is married to Dr. Allison Jeff ers Dooley, an OB/GYN and Fort Worth, Texas, native. They have two sons, John Tay-lor (12) and Peyton (9) and a daughter, Julianna (7).

Tennessee only made one coaching staff change af-ter the 2010 season. In February, the Vols named Peter Sirmon as linebackers coach and moved Lance Thomp-son to defensive line coach, replacing Chuck Smith. Among all coaching staff s in Division I FBS, the
Vols rank 11th in total NFL experience (coaching or playing) with 32 years. The UT staff also ranks 9th in NFL coaching experience at 23 years. Both totals rank second in the SEC, trailing only Florida. In terms of individual NFL coaching experience,
only fi ve college coaches have more NFL coaching experience than Tennessee associate head coach/receivers coach Charlie Baggett, who coached in the league for 13 seasons.

Derek Dooley enters his second season as UT’s head coach. A total of 15 coaches have seen a second season on Rocky Top and eight of those have seen an improve-ment in their second-year records compared to their fi rst. All-time, UT coaches are 92-44-11 (.663) in their second season at the helm. Adding to the overall improvement, two coaches have won conference championships at UT in their second seasons. Bowden Wyatt led the Vols to an SEC Championship in 1956, while General Neyland coached UT to a Southern Conference Championship in 1927.

The Best Just Got BetterThe Home of the Vols got a makeover, transform-
ing one of college football’s meccas into an aesthetic masterpiece. The concrete walls that used to hold up the west side were replaced with brick. Below the press box, six new panels display some of the fi nest to ever don the Orange and White-- Al Wilson, Gen. Robert R. Neyland, Reggie White, Peyton Man-ning, Johnny Majors and Doug Atkins.
Most noticeable from the outside are the approxi-mately 700,000 bricks that totally transformed the look of the stadium’s north and west sides. Standing in the middle of that transformation is the majestic Gate 21 plaza area.
Six lofty archways dominate the entrance, which doubles during the work week as a key campus trans-portation hub. No doubt the traffi c on game days is just as hectic.
Adjacent to the Gate 21 plaza is another change, the new amphitheater at the corner of Phillip Fulmer Way and Andy Holt Avenue. The Vol Network’s Kickoff Call-In Show takes place there, sporting spiff y new digs after spending years on a make-shift platform in front of a worn down hillside.
Just inside Gate 21, the Tennessee Offi cial Team Shop is open for business six days a week under man-agement of the UT Bookstore. Four other souvenir locations are located throughout the stadium, includ-ing one in an exclusive new seating area.
432UT Wins at Neyland
NEYLAND STADIUM /// SHIELDS-WATKINS FIELD
The GeneralThe Proverbial, Perpetual Yardstick
One of the greatest coaches in the history of the game of football, Gen. Robert Reese Ney-
land is still, and will most likely always be, the yardstick by which all Tennessee football coaches are measured. For 21 years, he led the Big Orange to win after win and championship after champi-onship. His 173 wins, seven conference titles and four national championships set the bar at one of the nation’s fi nest football institutions.
According to UT legend Gus Manning, no one summed up Neyland and his coaching abil-ity better than Wallace Wade:
“He could take his and beat yours or take yours and beat his.” -- Wallace Wade, Alabama and Duke head coach and Neyland rival.
Gen. Neyland’s Maxims of Football1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way -- SCORE.3. If at fi rst the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up -- put on more steam.4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle -- for this is the WINNING EDGE.6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.7. Carry the fi ght to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT NEYLAND STADIUM
“The big games I played in Neyland Stadium are right up there with the Super Bowl. It is still one of the most electic atmospheres I have ever experienced, and the passion of the fans is what makes the diff erence.” -- Peyton Manning, Former Vol and Indianapolis Colts QB
“It is a remarkable experience. It starts with the Vol Walk down to the stadium, and the energy just builds and builds until you run through the ‘T’ for kickoff .” -- Jerod Mayo, Former Vol and New England Patriots LB
“I’ve been to LSU, Florida State and Texas and almost every place that could be considered one of the toughest places to play. But we went down to Knoxville for a night game, and that Tennessee crowd was the most impressive that I have ever faced. Neyland Stadium was just electric.” -- Bob Davie, ESPN game analyst and former Notre Dame head coach
“It’s static noise. You can’t hear anything. You go up and down the line -- your wide receivers, your run-ning backs, your tight ends -- nobody can hear. Nobody.” -- Nate Longshore, Former Cal quarterback (2006)
“That night in Neyland Stadium -- with the Orange and Rocky Top -- that’s my favorite.” -- Lee Corso, ESPN College GamedayNE

THIS WEEK IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE
The Coaches’ ChallengeThe head coach may challenge the ruling of any reviewable play. He retains a
challenge if his initial challenge is successful and thus results in a reversal by the re-play offi cial. The head coach will then have a single challenge that he may use any-time during the game if his team has not used all its timeouts. Thus a team may have a total of two challenges in the game, but only if the fi rst results in a reversal of the on-fi eld ruling.
The SourceAll reviewable video comes direct from either the television network broadcast-
ing the game or other TV production facilities that meet established conference standards. The SEC has used instant replay since 2005.
The Plays Reviewable
1. Plays governed by Sideline, Goal Line, End Zone, and End Line:
a. Scoring Plays, including the ball in possession of a runner breaking the plane of the goal line
b. Runner/receiver in or out of boundsc. Recovery of loose ball in and out of bounds
2. Passing Plays:
a. Pass ruled complete/ incomplete/ intercepted in the fi eld of play and end zones
b. Touching of a forward pass by a player or an offi cialc. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off beyond the line of scrimmaged. Illegal forward pass or illegal handing off after change of possessione. Forward or backward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmagef. Quarterback (Passer) starts arm forward, ball comes loss and play is
ruled incomplete (if ball is quickly recovered)g. Quarterback (Passer) throws incomplete swing pass that is close to being
forward or backward, and pass is ruled forward (if ball is quickly recovered)3. Miscellaneous:
a. Runner ruled not down.b. Runner ruled down (when ball carrier is judged down by rule and the
ball is fumbled, play may be reviewed if recovery of ball occurs in the im- mediate action following fumble and is prior to any offi cial signaling ball is dead. Also reviewable when runner is ruled out of bounds near goal line.)
c. Forward progress with respect to fi rst downd. Touching of a kicke. Number of players on fi eldf. Clock adjustments (in conjunction with reviewed plays)g. Fourth-down/try fumble playsh. Field Goal Attempts (only when ball is ruled below or above the crossbar,
inside or outside the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights.)
i. The game clock expires at the end of a half. If at the end of the game, the time may be restored to the clock only if the score is tied or the team that would next snap the ball trails by eight points or fewer.
The ProcessEach SEC football stadium has a secured replay booth equipped with the HD
Instant Replay system provided by XOS Digital. Three individuals work in the booth for the duration of the game: 1. Replay Offi cial, 2. Communicator, 3. Technician. The Replay Offi cial and the Communicator are selected and assigned by the Conference.
A live HD video feed is sent directly to the replay booth from the TV truck. The Technician watches the feed on an input monitor while recording it into the XOS Digital Replay System. The Technician also marks the beginning of each play while the Communicator marks all incoming replays.
Each play and subsequent replay then appears on a touch screen in front of the Replay Technician. As the Technician and the Communicator mark the incoming video, each view will appear as a small picture on the computer touch screen. At any time, the Replay Technician can touch the thumbnail and immediately send that play or replay to the Replay Offi cial.
With the Communicator’s assistance, the Replay Offi cial can quickly jump be-tween replays while playing back the video. All replay video navigation is done via a jog shuttle remote controlled by the Replay Offi cial. All video is viewed on an HD monitor that sits in front of the Replay Offi cial. The touch screen is only used to select the replays and to log specifi c play data in the event a call is overturned.
While all plays are reviewed between the whistle and the beginning of the next play, the Replay Offi cial can stop play on the fi eld by using a pager system. Five on-fi eld offi cials wear pagers. If play is stopped the Referee announces on the stadium PA microphone that play has been stopped so the previous play can be reviewed. The Referee then proceeds to the sideline headset, which provides direct commu-nication to the Replay Offi cial in the booth. Once the play has been reviewed, the Replay Offi cial notifi es the Referee, who then announces the decision on the sta-dium PA system.
