Tennessee senior tailback and return specialist Devrin Young suffered “a couple of broken ribs” in his team’s 45-10 win over Chattanooga Saturday, head coach Butch Jones confirmed after the game. Jones didn’t go into specifics on the Vols’ other injuries, but said he’d heard news about Young.

“The only thing I’ve heard right now is Devrin Young has a couple of broken ribs,” Jones said. “I’ll have to get clarification on that.”

Henderson not with Vols for 'personal reasons'
4 hours ago
Freshman defensive end Joe Henderson is not with the Tennessee football team right now because of "personal reasons," a UT spokesperson confirmed to GoVols247 on Sunday afternoon.
Henderson, a 6-foot-4, 234-pound freshman from Shaker Heights, Ohio, was a four-star, Top247 signee in the 2014 class and has been on track to redshirt this season — which has been the plan with him since preseason camp, when Henderson showed plenty of potential but was a bit too light in the seat to contribute as a true freshman.
Tennessee's coaching staff has been very complimentary of Henderson as of just a couple of weeks ago, and his "personal reasons" aren't being specified at this point.

Over/Under 6 sacks on the game for Tennessee O-Line?

It'll be ugly, the line is already banged up. I mean, we're playing a walk-on with a torn ACL for Christ's sake.

Sounds like Worley might be out tomorrow.

Looks like you guys got the flu too.

Hope Alabama doesn't get hit with it.

Flu hits team: A flu virus has made its way through the team's freshman class, including Beech product Jalen Hurd, Jones said on 104.5. Some players lost as many as 10 pounds due to the illness, according to Jones.

Westend Vol or any other Val Fan...quick question from a TN native...I've watched a handful of games during the Jones era, but don't follow recruiting, etc....is this program on the mend?

I think he'll eventually get things turned around. He brought in a top 5 recruiting class and 23 of those true freshmen have played this year (most in the country), and currently has a top 5 class right now. So far this year has gone about as expected, I think most had us in the 5-7 win range, and that seems to be about what we're on pace for. Next year though is when we should really expect to see improvement.
