What exactly is Trent Dilfer doing?
The UAB coach that is likely on his farewell tour with the Blazers has had quite the day thus far. One of his players should have gotten ejected for a dirty kick on Tennessee placekicker Max Gilbert. And otherwise, UAB is getting dragged up and down the field by the Vols, losing 49-10 midway through the third quarter. So Dilfer must've figured this was the right time to add a photo to his social media?

In the words of Saved by the Bell's Mr. Belding, "what is going on here?!" Is Dilfer doing an Instagram Live during the game? Maybe sending a few selfies to his buddies proving that he has sideline access to the game? It's possible he's never seen this many people dressed in Orange in the same game? Or maybe UAB didn't bring a video crew, and he's using his phone to film the game from the sidelines?
Whatever is going on, it likely won't endear Dilfer to the UAB faithful any more than his 9-19 record as head coach already has.

The Vols' offense is still lighting up the scoreboard
Don't let Dilfer's issues distract you from the fact that the Tennessee offense is doing whatever they want to do today. We've already touched on Joey Aguilar's big day, and he's added another touchdown pass to his total since then.
What has really stood out to me is the spreading of wealth today. Everyone is putting up some numbers. Peyton Lewis has 81 yards on 11 carries to lead the rushing attack, but DeSean Bishop (nine carries, 59 yards, two touchdowns) and Star Thomas (nine carries, 51 yards, rushing and receiving touchdown) are also having nice days on the ground.
And Aguilar has made sure all the receivers are eating well today. Chris Brazzell II (five catches, 62 yards and a touchdown) continues to be the No. 1 guy, but check out this amazing over-the-shoulder catch from Mike Matthews in the first half.
WHAT A THROW‼️

If there were any concerns about a hangover after last week's heartbreaking loss to Georgia, the Volunteers eased those early and often.
