"Volunteer fans who may have targeted the Sept. 13 Beech vs. Independence matchup as a must-see game may not have to fight traffic.The contest, which will feature three players who have committed to Tennessee, is scheduled to be televised across the Southeast on Comcast Sports South.Beech running back Jalen Hurd, Independence receiver Vic Wharton III and Independence defensive back RaShaan Gaulden have committed to Tennessee."

"Is it presumptuous for Tennessee fans to weigh in on the SEC’s new bowl affiliations?Wouldn’t it be more polite to qualify for a few bowl games before disparaging the projected options?OK, to be honest, I haven’t heard much complaining about a possible trip to the Belk Bowl. But if Butch Jones gets things going again, this will be a discussion worth having.The bowl landscape changes considerably when the four-team College Football Playoff begins after the 2014 season.That it’s changing is not a bad thing. Still, more adventurous options would have been interesting."
From ESPN
"His arm feels stronger and, yes, Peyton Manning has a much better feel for what to expect in Year 2 as the quarterback for the Denver Broncos.The calendar, however, doesn’t stop for anyone.Manning turned 37 since the last time he threw a meaningful pass — the interception that led to Baltimore’s winning score in its double-overtime victory in the playoffs — and that so-called window to win a championship will close soon.Even that sort of forward thinking, however, doesn’t jibe with Manning — whose contract is guaranteed through 2014, but who takes things one practice, one game, one season at a time."
