SDS News: Tennessee offering free tickets to Week 3 game for those displaced by Hurricane Florence
The Tennessee Volunteers are set to take on UTEP this weekend in a game that likely won’t be impacted much (if at all) by Hurricane Florence.
As Florence causes evacuations along the Carolina coast, the Vols are offering those displaced by the storm a chance to have a few hours of normalcy on Saturday.
Per a release from the school, Tennessee AD Phillip Fulmer has invited those who have been displaced by the hurricane free tickets to the game against the Miners.

SDS News: Tennessee players impressed with freshman RB Jeremy Banks
In his first home game, Tennessee RB Jeremy Banks punched in two touchdowns for the Vols and added a total of 62 yards on 13 carries. While those numbers may not jump out at you, it was more about the way Banks runs that has impressed those on Rocky Top. Not only does Pruitt have to be impressed with what he has seen to this point, the way Banks runs in games and works in practice has won him the respect of his peers.
“He’s just a dawg. You know, he brings it every day,” Trey Smith said this week after Banks first game in Neyland Stadium. “Jeremy is definitely a physical back, you see a lot of that in Ty (Chandler), Tim (Jordan) and Madre (London), as well. They all bring a level of physicality and it’s expressed every week. He did a great job this weekend.”
