Tennessee's young team proves to be better than expected

Tennessee was the youngest team in the country this season, but it didn’t look like it in its season opener against Utah State.

The Vols jumped out to a 14-0 lead and never looked back trouncing the Aggies 38-7.

It was a result no one who wasn’t a Tennessee fan saw coming. Utah State was returning a veteran quarterback and a strong defense while more than half of Tennessee’s roster was new. But coach Butch Jones' recruiting appeared to pay off as Tennessee was faster, more efficient and even coached better than their Utah State counterparts.

The way Tennessee played in its season opener makes the Sept. 13 contest against Oklahoma far more intriguing than it was even a day ago. Oklahoma had its way with Louisiana Tech 48-16 on Saturday.

The Vols have to get past Arkansas State next weekend and Oklahoma has Tulsa, but that Sept. 13 contest, if both teams stay undefeated, could have some meaning later in the season, especially for Oklahoma, which might need a quality win to offset the fact that the Big 12 doesn’t play a conference championship game.

But Tennessee is no longer a gimme and this game might have raised expectations for the Vols. Jones’ team looked ready to compete and appeared to be — albeit against a Mountain West team — a better squad than it was during his first season.

We’ll see if that’s the case as the year treks on the opponents get more difficult.

NFL All-Pro CB Patrick Peterson requests a selfie with coach Les Miles following LSU win (Video)

After LSU’s exciting comeback win against Wisconsin on Saturday, former LSU cornerback — and NFL All-Pro — found coach Les Miles on the sideline and requested a selfie.

Peterson, a three-time Pro Bowlers for the Arizona Cardinals, went photo happy after the game snapping photos with LSU running backs coach Frank Wilson and safety Jalen Mills as well.

Wonder whether Peterson would have been requesting postgame photos had LSU not scored 21 unanswered points to win 28-24?

The 'Baylor Line' makes its inaugural appearance at McLane Stadium

Baylor might have a new stadium, but the traditions from it old home remained intact. Included in those traditions was the “Baylor Line” where members of the Line get to run down the opposite tunnel from the players and onto the field.

Here's a little more information from the Baylor website:

Prior to each home football game, the Line gathers at one end of Floyd Casey Stadium and, led by the cheers of alumni and fans, runs onto the field and creates an enormous human tunnel to welcome the football team to Floyd Casey Stadium. After each player and coach has entered the stadium, The Line takes their seats in an exclusive Baylor Line section behind the opponent’s bench to cheer on the Bears to victory.

As you can imagine, this can sometimes get a little dicey as it did for the poor students who were trampled on the right side of the video. Still, if you can manage to keep your feet and avoid injury, this is a pretty cool tradition, especially to christen a new stadium.
