Vols lean on Bishop, DE depth ahead of Texas A&M game
KNOXVILLE — DeSean Bishop’s continued growth has made him a driving force in Tennessee’s offense, while a pair of defensive ends have stepped into expanded roles as the Volunteers prepare for Saturday’s road matchup at Texas A&M. Running backs coach De’Rail Sims and LEOs coach Andrew Jackson met with the media Tuesday ahead of the No. 9/9 Vols’ upcoming matchup against the Aggies, discussing Bishop’s impact and the development of Jordan Norman and Mariyon Dye. Kickoff at Kyle Field is set for 3 p.m. ET on ESPN. Sims didn’t hesitate when asked whether Bishop belongs in the Heisman Trophy conversation, pointing to the senior’s production, leadership and ability to take over games, particularly in the second half. The Maxwell Award semifinalist leads the FBS in second-half carries (109), rushing yards (661), rushing touchdowns (10) and first downs (32). “There’s no doubt about it.

Alcoa commissioners advanced several landfill expansion projects Tuesday aimed at improving efficiency and easing the strain on the more than 50-year-old facility. The Alcoa/Maryville/Blount County Landfill, located off Long Powers Road in Friendsville, accepts household garbage as well as bulkier waste, including old furniture and construction debris. Household garbage must be disposed of in more tightly regulated Class I cells designed to prevent groundwater contamination. Bulkier waste can be placed in less restrictive Class III and IV cells. Plans to expand the Class III and IV cells were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, forcing Alcoa Public Works Department officials to use more expensive Class I space for bulky waste. Permits also began to expire or were voided because of changing conditions at the site, prompting the city to pursue multiple expansion projects simultaneously. “One of the issues we had with one of the original plans was that there have been some changes to (the site) that have forced us to go back through some very, very challenging regulatory work,” City Manager Bruce Applegate said. “That’s why, rather than starting over from scratch each time, we’re trying to get all these other pieces going at the same time so
