Tennessee Volunteers
The Tennessee Volunteers got off to a good start in 2005, winning 3 of their first four games, including an overtime upset of eventual SEC Champion LSU. But hard times came soon after for fans with Volunteers tickets as Tennessee dropped a conference game to Georgia then suffered a heartbreaking 6-3 loss to Alabama. Those two losses pretty much wiped out their SEC hopes. But when the Tennessee football hit the field at Neyland Stadium, things should be a lot better. The flip flop at quarterback is over vows head coach Philip Fulmer. Erik Ainge will take the reins of the team, hoping to repeat the success of his debut year. Arion Foster, the Volunteers 6’-1” 215 pound running back, returns after pounding out almost 900 yards his freshman year. On defense, Tennessee throws a ton of different looks at opposing quarterbacks and blitzes from every position on the field. A healthy Robert Ayers at end and the return of J.T. Mapu will aid the cause. Expectations are high as Tennessee hit the pre-season polls ranked at #18, and SEC football fans are licking their chops over Volunteers tickets. Get ‘em now while you still can.
