Everybody is high on Tennessee Football players.

Nick Saban, Urban Meyer LIE about Tennessee Football QB
John Adams of the Knoxville News Sentinel joins the show to discuss Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban saying Tennessee Football quarterback Joe Milton III isn’t much different from Hendon Hooker and Urban Meyer saying at the Knoxville Quarterback Club that the Vols signal-caller is Cam Newton.

James Pearce Jr. earned SEC co-Defensive Lineman of the Week for his play on Saturday, with one sack and two tackles for a loss, helping Tennessee Football beat the Texas A&M Aggies.
