KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Erik Walden Jersey . -- Tennessee safety Micah Abernathy stopped playing offense once he arrived in college, but the former high school running back continues finding ways to get the ball in his hands.Abernathy clinched Tennessees season-opening overtime victory over Appalachian State by breaking up a fourth-down pass into the end zone. He followed that up by setting a school single-game record last week with three fumble recoveries in a 45-24 triumph over Virginia Tech .The sophomore from Atlanta said he couldnt remember ever having that many takeaways in a single game.Maybe in Little League or something like that, Abernathy quipped.Abernathys emergence doesnt surprise coaches and teammates, who raved about him throughout the preseason for his consistency. His performance against Virginia Tech makes Abernathy the reigning Southeastern Conference defensive player of the week heading into the 15th-ranked Volunteers Saturday afternoon game with Ohio (1-1).You know what youre getting with Micah every single day, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. He has great instincts for the football. Hes around the football. Hes really helping us win football games right now. Hes also turning into one of our leaders in the back end of our defense.Tennessee (2-0) had to break in two new starters at safety following the graduations of Brian Randolph and LaDarrell McNeil, who combined for 89 career starts. The development of Abernathy and junior Todd Kelly Jr. has turned a potential weakness into a strength.I like steady players and hes been very, very steady, defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said. He and TK have both been pretty steady back there and have done a good job. Thats really whats separated them at the safety position. Theyre composed. They communicate well. I think the best is yet to come from Micah.The mentality that has made Abernathy an effective defensive player was evident even as he rushed for over 1,500 yards while helping Greater Atlanta Christian reach a state final his senior year in high school.Abernathy, the grandson of former civil rights leader Ralph David Abernathy Sr., played both running back and cornerback in high school. His high school coach said Abernathy preferred playing defense.He was pretty special carrying the ball, but we knew hed be a DB at the next level, Greater Atlanta Christian coach Tim Hardy said. Thats his heart and his passion. When I see him making those big plays Saturday night ... it doesnt shock me at all because hes always a guy to make a big play at a big moment when people needed him to do that.Abernathys first takeaway against Virginia Tech turned the game around. Virginia Tech led 14-0 when Abernathy recovered a fumble at the Hokies 5-yard line. The Vols reached the end zone on the next play to start a run of 31 straight Tennessee points.He also recovered two fourth-quarter fumbles, one of which led to a Tennessee touchdown.Jeff Williams, the NCAA associate director for media coordination and statistics, said Abernathy is the fourth player since 2014 to recover three fumbles in a single game. The others were Georgia States Bobby Baker last season and North Carolinas Dominique Green and Wake Forests Tylor Harris in 2014.Coming into the season, I wanted to contribute as a starter and just do my best to help my teammates out, Abernathy said. I feel like Ive done that so far.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org Tennessee Titans Jerseys . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Austin Johnson Jersey . Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. http://www.titansfootballpro.com/Titans-Josh-Kline-Jersey/ . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Austin Allen earned Arkansas coach Bret Bielemas approval when he was named the starting quarterback during the spring.The Razorbacks junior has done nothing but confirm his coachs faith throughout a stellar preseason, and hell have his first chance to earn that same level of trust from fans when Arkansas hosts Louisiana Tech to open the season on Saturday.I think hes (ready), Bielema said. I tell you, the guys have really rallied (around him) ... Hes showed me a lot more composure, a little bit more maturity, this year in the fall than at any other time.The start will be Allens first with the Razorbacks, though he has seen limited action in eight games over the last two seasons.Nothing he faced as a backup, however, has fully prepared Allen for what hell face in the spotlight for the first time on Saturday and moving forward -- with an entire state watching and judging his every throw and move.And thats just fine with Arkansas offensive coordinator Dan Enos.He doesnt want to let anybody down, and hes going to play well, Enos said. Im really confident hes going to play very well.Allens takeover at quarterback at Arkansas for his older brother, Brandon, has been met largely with uncertainty across the Southeastern Conference during the preseason.Much of the hesitation about the 6-foot-1, 209-poundd signal caller is largely because he lacks a track record on the college level. DeMarco Murray Jersey. Allen attempted only three passes last season, and his total passing statistics in two seasons of action amount to a paltry 9 of 19 for 188 yards with one touchdown.However, Arkansas coaches and players have seen plenty of the junior during his three seasons on campus. And while theyve been satisfied with his overall progress, theyve been even more pleased with how he has handled the promotion to the top of the depth chart.We all know what (Allen) can do, and its going to be fun to watch him show everyone else, Arkansas wide receiver Keon Hatcher said.During a pair of intra-squad scrimmages this month, Allen completed more than 70 percent of his passes and threw two touchdowns with no interceptions.It was exactly the kind of performance Bielema and Enos had hoped for, with Allen cementing his role as the starter entering Saturday against a Louisiana Tech team that was 9-4 last year and ended its season with a win over Arkansas State in the New Orleans Bowl.I think hes ready to play, Enos said. I think hes sick and tired of me telling this this and telling him that and coaching him on this and that.
