Season Report Posted: January 03, 2016 13:52  

UT 41, Memphis 17: This is much closer until very late -- Vols lead only 24-17 until a couple of turnovers, including a picks-six by CB Kellen Roberts -- stretch the lead.

No. 7 Florida 24, No. 9 UT 14: Florida LB Steve Harper and DE Ryan Sullivan completely shut off the right side of the field to the Vols' offense; it's amazing, actually. Two turnovers help the Vols close to 17-14 in the third quarter, but the Gators remain in control.

No. 13 UT 24, Arizona State 6: Isaiah Ivey busts for 105 yards in the first half and finishes with 130 on 24 carries.

No. 8 UT 34, No. 17 Georgia 7: Ivey pounds 30 times for 150 and two scores; Vols (4-1) hold Dawgs (3-3) to 180 total yards.

UT 27, FIU 0: First shutout for the Vols (6-4). Antonio Mitchell is national player of the week with 10 tackles, including three sacks.

UT 27, Vandy 17: MLB Kendall Wheeler and OLB Brad Graham get their first starts as injury replacements and each make 10 tackles, with Graham getting two sacks.

Music City Bowl: Duke 32, UT 28: Vols jump up 14-3, then gradually wear down under pounding from Duke's Ken Davis, who rushes 34 times for 154 yards.

Coach Nibble gets a five-year contract extension after the bowl, which should be just about right considering his attention span.

Jon Hall finishes his senior season wtih 2,180 passing yards and 15 TDs.

Isaiah Ivey rushes for 1,245 yards and finishes with a school-record 4,100 career yards. Corey Duncan adds 610 yards.

Brent Martin makes a late push and edges TE Alex Hall for the receiving lead, 44 catches to 42.

Junior DE Antonio Mitchell gets 13 sacks.
