TENNESSEE FOOTBALL POSTGAME NOTES: Georgia State 38, Vols 30 Aug TENNESSEE FOOTBALL POSTGAME NOTES: Georgia State 38, Vols 30 Aug. 31, 2019 | Season Opener | Knoxville, Tenn. (Neyland Stadium) Tennessee Tidbits • The Vols kicked off their 123rd season of football on Saturday afternoon. • Today’s attendance at Neyland Stadium was 85,503. • UT stands 467-132-17 at Neyland Stadium, possessing the second-most wins of any school at a current stadium. • Tennessee's all-time record went to 838-391-53. UT ranks 10th all-time in wins among NCAA Division I programs. • Saturday was the second-ever meeting between Tennessee and Georgia State, with the Vols and Panthers now knotted up at 1-1 in the all-time series. Welcome Back To Rocky Top • VFL and Dallas Cowboys standout tight end Jason Witten was recognized on the field in the first quarter. • Former Vol Hoops standouts and professional players Kyle Alexander, Jordan Bone, Admiral Schofield and Grant Williams were recognized on the field during the first half. Vol Captains/Coin Toss • Tennessee’s team captains for Saturday’s game against Georgia State were seniors Marquez Callaway, Nigel Warrior, Darrell Taylor and Jauan Jennings. • Georgia won the toss and deferred until the second half. The Vols defended the North goal. First Starts • Six Vols earned their first career starts on Saturday afternoon. • Getting the nod were freshman cornerback Warren Burrell, redshirt freshman defensive lineman Greg Emerson, freshman linebacker Henry To’o To’o, junior defensive lineman Darrel Middleton, freshman offensive lineman Wanya Morris and junior defensive lineman Aubrey Solomon. Freshman Debuts • Eight Tennessee true freshmen made their career debuts in today’s game. • Freshmen seeing action included corner back Warren Burrell (started), linebacker Quavaris Crouch, running back Eric Gray, defensive back Jerrod Means, defensive back Jaylen McCollough, offensive lineman Wanya Morris (started), linebacker Henry To’o To’o (started) and offensive lineman Darnell Wright. Other Player Debuts • Non-freshmen making their first UT appearances were junior defensive lineman Darel Middleton, junior defensive lineman Aubrey Solomon and junior defensive lineman Savion Williams. • With 2:07 to go in the first quarter, junior Trey Smith made his season debut at left tackle. • Sophomore Jeremy Banks, who played running back last season, made his first game appearance at linebacker in the second quarter. True Freshman Trio Starting Season Opener • Linebacker Henry To’o To’o, offensive lineman Wanya Morris and defensive back Warren Burrell became the first Tennessee true freshman trio to start a season opener since 2014. • To’o To’o became the first Tennessee true freshman to start at linebacker in a season opener since A.J. Johnson and Curt Maggitt in 2011 against Montana. • Morris became the first Tennessee true freshman to start on the offensive line in a season opener since Trey Smith did so in 2017 against Georgia Tech. • The start by Burrell at defensive back marks the second straight season in which at least one true freshman defensive back has started the season opener for the Vols. Alontae Taylor and Trevon Flowers both started the 2018 opener against West Virginia, becoming the first true freshman DBs since VFL and current Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Cameron Sutton did so in 2013. Offensive Highlights • The 31-yard TD run by junior running back Ty Chandler with nine seconds remaining in the first quarter was the fifth scoring run of his career of at least 30 yards. He had three such runs in 2018 and one in 2017. • The first touchdown of the season came on a six-yard pass from redshirt junior quarterback Jarrett Guarantano to senior wide receiver Marquez Callaway to conclude a 16-play, 78-yard scoring drive (7:42) with 4:13 remaining in the first quarter. It marked the longest scoring trip since the first scoring drive of the 2018 season, a 17-play, 78-yard march punctuated by Guarantano’s one-yard pass to Dominick Wood-Anderson against West Virginia. • Redshirt senior wide receiver Jauan Jennings notched a career high with seven receptions in the game, including an 18-yard touchdown toss from Guarantano. He finished with 108 yards via those catches, just three off his career high there. • Guarantano finished the day 26 of 40 for 311 yards, marking the second 300-yard passing day of his career. The other came vs. Auburn last season, when he had 328 yards through the air. • Senior tight end Dominick Wood-Anderson hauled in a career-long 54-yard reception and finished with three catches for a career-best 79 yards. Defensive Highlights • Junior defensive back Shawn Shamburger collected Tennessee’s first sack of the year, the second of his career and first since 2017, for a loss of 12 yards to move Georgia State back to its own 17-yard line during the first quarter. • With Georgia State threatening to pad its 21-20 lead at the opening of the third quarter, junior linebacker Deandre Johnson sacked Panthers quarterback Dan Ellington, forcing a fumble that was recovered by sophomore defensive lineman LaTrell Bumphus at the UT 24. The turnover led to a 31-yard field goal by junior kicker Brent Cimaglia, putting the Vols on top, 23-21, with 12:05 to go in the game. • Freshman linebacker Henry To’o To’o and junior linebacker Will Ignont each recorded seven stops to lead the Vol defense, with To’o To’o tallying a game-high-tying four solos. Special Teams Highlights • Brent Cimaglia kicked three field goals, including a 19-yarder, a 48-yarder and 31-yarder. The 48-yard boot was the second longest of his career. • Cimaglia also went 3-for-3 on extra point attempts to improve to 37 of 37 in his career. He was perfect in 2018, making all 31 PATs and was 3-for-3 in 2017. • Senior wide receiver Marquez Callaway had a 35-yard punt return in the third quarter to start a Vols drive that culminated in a 48-yard field goal from Cimaglia. .

  • Tennessee Symbols and Honors
    514 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK Tennessee Symbols And Honors Official Seal of the State Even before Tennessee achieved statehood efforts were made by local govern- mental organizations to procure official seals. Reliable historians have assumed that as early as 1772 the Articles of the Agreement of the Watauga Association authorized the use of a seal. The Legislature of the state of Franklin, by an official act, provided “for procuring a Great Seal for this State,” and there is also evidence that a seal was intended for the Territory South of the River Ohio. The secretary of that territory requested the assistance of Thomas Jefferson in March, 1792, in “suggesting a proper device” for a seal. There is no direct evidence, however, that a seal was ever made for any of these predecessors of Tennessee. When Tennessee became a state, the Constitution of 1796 made provision for the preparation of a seal. Each subsequent constitution made similar provisions and always in the same words as the first. This provision is (Constitution of 1796, Article II, Section 15; Constitution of 1835, Article III, Section 15; Constitution of 1870, Article III, Section 15) as follows: There shall be a seal of this state, which shall be kept by the governor, and used by him officially, and shall be called “The Great Seal of the State of Tennessee.” In spite of the provision of the Constitution of 1796, apparently no action was taken until September 25, 1801. On that date committees made up of members from both the Senate and the House of Representatives were appointed.

  • ROCKY TOP Felice and Boudleaux Bryant
    CHORAL ARRANGEMENTS • COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME® AND MUSEUM ROCKY TOP Felice and Boudleaux Bryant Songwriting husband and wife duo Felice and Boudleaux Bryant wrote “Rocky Top” in 1967. The song is about a city- dweller reflecting longingly on a simple life he/she had in the mountains of East Tennessee. “Rocky Top” was first recorded by the bluegrass duo The Osborne Brothers. It has since been recorded by numerous artists from various genres, including Lynn Anderson, Buck Owens, Dolly Parton, John Denver, and Phish. In 1972, “Rocky Top” became the unofficial fight song for the University of Tennessee. The University’s Pride of the Southland Marching Band is known to play the song around 30 times during a football game. Because of its commercial success and fan association, “Rocky Top” was named a state song by the Tennessee state legislature in 1982. Wish that I was on ol’ Rocky Top, Rocky Top, you’ll always be down in the Tennessee hills; Home sweet home to me; Ain’t no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top, Good ol’ Rocky Top; Ain’t no telephone bills; Rocky Top, Tennessee; Once I had a girl on Rocky Top; Rocky Top, Tennessee Half bea the other half cat; Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop I’ve had years of cramped-up city life I still dream about that; Trapped like a duck in a pen; All I know is it’s a pity life Rocky Top, you’ll always be Can’t be simple again Home sweet home to me; Good ol’ Rocky Top; Rocky Top, you’ll always be Rocky Top, Tennesse; Home sweet home to me; Rocky Top, Tennessee Good ol’ Rocky Top; Rocky Top, Tennessee; Once two strangers climbed ol’ Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee Lookin’ for a moonshine still; Rocky Top, Tennessee Strangers ain’t come down from Rocky Top; Reckon they never will; Corn won’t grow at all on Rocky Top; Dirt’s too rocky by far; That’s why all the folks on Rocky Top Get their corn from a jar; Rocky Top SATB Words and Music by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant 1967 4 œ œ Œ & 4 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ ˙ Piano F ˙ ? 4 4 Œ Œ ˙ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ ˙ œ œ œ C FC A m G 7 C 5 S & œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ ˙.
