Kentucky racking up 361 empty yards against Tennessee is the ultimate offensive tease

Kentucky Football held the ball for over 35 minutes and racked up 361 total yards against Tennessee, but that box score dominance was nothing more than a frustrating illusion. You cannot control the clock, consistently move the chains, and still lose by 28 points without a catastrophic inability to finish drives.

Eagles’ postgame more subdued as business takes over

COSBY — If the prior week’s postgame celebration was a party, Friday night’s was more like a business meeting. Eight days after the Cosby High School football team celebrated at Virgil Ball Stadium’s scoreboard with the cheerleaders and the student section after clinching the Region 1-1A championship with a 44-21 victory over Jellico on Oct. 29, the Eagles followed up their first-ever TSSAA 1A state playoff win over Midway 48-8 in a far more subdued manner. For the second week in a row, there were fireworks in the sky, but the emotions that go along with wrapping up a league title were far more in check after Cosby’s inaugural postseason triumph as the team remained focus on the task ahead, already beginning to think about a second-round matchup with Whitwell this Friday. “Last week, I think it was more emotional,” Eagles head coach Levi Cooper said. “You play those same teams every year. There was a lot of chatter back-and-forth and that makes it a big deal. We have an extremely mature football team. The way we handled our business tonight kind of led to the subdued celebration. We came out and executed at a really high level in all

No. 8 Tennessee hopes to build on early positives vs. Radford

As No. 8 Tennessee prepares for its second outing on Monday night, coach Rick Barnes liked what he saw from different parts of his group in the season opener. The Volunteers (1-0) will take the court for the first time in a week against Radford in Knoxville, Tenn. DeWayne Brown II put up 17 points and added 17 rebounds -- personal bests and his first career double-double -- in the 90-59 season-opening victory. "It was very competitive," Brown said. "We were trying to show we were a different team than (preseason games against) Xavier and Duke. We were going to defend and make sure we won the rebound battle. Really, that's what I was focused on the whole game -- doing the right things and being in the right spot." Brown was mostly a defensive presence in the first half, but his offensive game came alive in the second. "(My offense) is something I've been working on a lot," he said. "Coach expects that out of me, and I want to be able to do that for this team. We're going to need that inside presence." Barnes said it was a much-needed performance. "Dwayne Brown 17 and 17, by far,
