Updated ESPN FPI prediction for Texas A&M vs. No. 8 Tennessee

Texas A&M enters Week 11 at 4-5 and 1-5 in SEC play, set to host No. 8 Tennessee for the first time in a decade, as the Aggies are hoping that improved play on offense in consecutive close losses to Alabama and South Carolina translates to a win against one of the best defenses in the SEC. While the Aggies' 2026 season has been a failure, coach Mike Elko knew going into his third season that the new nine-game SEC schedule would result in at least three, or possibly four, losses unless the bottom completely fell out, which has happened, and could get worse, knowing that facing Oklahoma in Norman and hosting Texas could result in a 4-8 finish. Still, with the season lost for quite some time, Mike Elko and his talented but underwhelming roster are focused on the Volunteers , knowing two more wins will secure bowl game eligibility and provide at least some momentum heading into a critical offseason. For the Aggies to have any legitimate shot at pulling off the upset, senior quarterback Marcel Reed and first-year OC Holmon Wiggins will need to be on the same page and continue utilizing the quick passing attack, while

I stood by him, peeking over the counter to see if I could help. I was too young to lend a hand with cooking, but my dad still gave me a job: throwing the apple peels into the trash. I loved it. I felt special. Now, that's my 5-year-old nephew's job, and I wish I was there to help him. It's been a few years since I've been back home for Thanksgiving , but November

Kim Caldwell details Lady Vols intentionally calling sets in third win

Tennessee (3-0) defeated New Haven (1-1), 83-40, Tuesday at Food City Center. The Lady Vols led, 37-24, at halftime. Third-year Tennessee head coach Kim Caldwell discussed the Lady Vols' performance after the game. "We appreciate coach (Debbie) Buff and New Haven for coming," Caldwell said. "It was a game we needed. Wasn't a pretty game on our end, but I think right now the more game experience we can get, the better, and we're learning a lot in games with 15 new players, and you guys saw that tonight. We threw a lot at them. We had switched up our groups and our rotations for this game on a one-day prep. We intentionally had them call their own sets, and didn't call a lot of plays for them, for them to try to work their way through it. "I think that was part of the result of the slow start, but those are things we need. Those are things we need because we are going to get in high pressure situations very quickly where 15 players on the floor have to figure it out together, and so we've talked in the locker room a lot about what our response to
