Gerald Mincey arrested in Knoxville prior to Week 3 vs. Florida, per police log
Gerald Mincey was arrested Thursday, Sept 14. ahead of the Tennessee Volunteers’ 29-16 loss to Florida Saturday evening.
According to a report from Rocky Top Insider’s Ryan Schumpert as well as the crime log, Mincey was arrested for simple possession of Marijuana on Cumberland Ave at Henley Street in Knoxville.
Vols head coach Josh Heupel told reporters last night that Jeremiah Crawford got the start over Mincey because that’s just what they chose to do. It seems we have a firmer answer to his absence Saturday now.
Mincey did actually play Saturday, but only on special teams.

Mincey transferred to Tennessee from Florida ahead of last season and has been a solid piece for the Vols’ offensive line since. Tennessee has struggled out of the gate and certainly could have used Mincey in the rotation Saturday.
The Vols really do have a lot of questions to answer on both sides of the line of scrimmage. They’ll be able to remedy some problems next week when Tennessee returns home for a matchup against Texas-San Antonio.
The game against UTSA is set to kick off at 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

Very interesting. I also wondered what Cade Mays did wrong. He was on the sidelines with pads on but never played.
Cade Mays is on the Carolina Panthers sideline whippy
Maybe i confused my Cades or my Mays. Who the helz was the missing center standing on the sidelines with pads on?
Cooper, Cade’s younger brother. Had surgery but not cleared to play yet.
A program out of control.
Yes. You are correct. Georgia needs to clean up its mess. You’d think after the horrific incident earlier this year that claimed the lives of multiple employees and a player they’d put the foot down. Nope. Only foot they put down was on the gas pedals of their cars.
Sad
Has Georgia done anything to honor the guy who died? Seriously? If they have, I haven’t seen it.
Still pathetically trolling the dead, are you? Classy even in defeat. As for honoring “the guy who died, you haven’t been looking very hard VFL…every game this year Devin’s (the guy who died’s name, if you’re going to continue to tastelessly troll him and the program, at least learn his name) #77 jersey is being worn by a different player. Devin’s roommate Xavier Truss wore it week 1, Van Pran week 2, and this past week it was Tate Ratledge…if this doesn’t appease you, oh well…continue to not see it.
Try to pay attention….He merely stated that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones….typical
I had no clue what number he was. Didn’t realize somebody was wearing it every week. I’m not watching GA games start to finish. Just a few minutes here and there. Just hadn’t seen anything. That’s why I said, I hadn’t seen anything. Thanks for info on that. I saw all sorts of stuff about what Virginia was doing for its 3 players they loss but hadn’t heard anything about GA. Seriously, thanks for the update and good on Georgia for doing that.
TN’s program is not close to out of control. Continuing their losing ways. Yes but far from out of control. I was all over Bama for letting Miller play basketball all season. Let a TN player or staff member get out of line, I’ll call for their heads to roll as well. I’ll continue calling it like I see it and will do my best to kick the stool out from anybody that thinks they are a head above everybody else. TN fans are not excluded.
You know, that’s fair enough, 88. I agree, we all have our pet peeves, just because yours is different than mine doesn’t make you wrong when you call it out. Cheers.
btw I don’t know who said the Vols program was out of control. From what I’ve seen just the opposite is true. But there are still cracks of the old culture there that Heup needs to continue to weed out. Between me and you, I saw nothing wrong with calling that timeout on 4th down with 7 seconds left. Block a kick, score a TD, get an onsides kick and throw a hail mary were all still in play in a two score game. Not sure why so many folks have a beef with it. Shame the late hit ruined the plan.

Out of respect for you and finding out Georgia is in fact honoring him, I’m not gonna speak ill of that incident earlier this year here anymore. Not a good look so I’ll back off of that.
The timeout wasn’t the problem. It was the bump which was followed by a flop. The timeout started the fiasco which then escalated very quickly. You’re right. College football is wild and scoring twice back to back isn’t unheard of. I just saw where 3 Florida player and 1 TN player are being suspended for the first half of the next game. I honestly missed the brawl due to me changing the channel when I saw the victory formation.
I saw a TN team that came in overly confident for no reason and got caught slipping. They played bad football all night. Horrible play calling is to blame as well. How many bubble screens do you have to run before you realize they aren’t working?? My only hope is we can get Georgia at the end of the season with only the one loss. Season isn’t over yet.
What you may not have also noticed, Kirby kept all the returning players that were offseason speeding offenders on the bench in the first game. We don’t need the publicity Virginia wants, Kirby handles things his way internally, without embarrassing his kids by making a media spectacle out of it…I appreciate you letting the dead player (his name is Devin Willock btw, lol) quietly RIP now, thanks.
