VeteranFor the sixth time in the last nine seasons, a September loss has forced the University of Tennessee's football team to redirect its goals.

"As far as tackling, we did not have a good day at all," UT Coach Phil Fulmer said. "It wasn't just up front. The front played reasonably well. It was our tackling. It was some at linebacker and a lot at safety. Jonathan Hefney has made a lot of plays for us here and will make a lot more, but he did not have his best game at safety.
"Stopping the run remains a concern. They're very skilled and quick at tailback, and they made us miss. Cal has good backs, but they're not that good."
Tennessee's inability to wrap up allowed Cal to rush for 230 yards. Fulmer said after watching game film that he counted 22 missed tackles.
