Vols Defensive backs steal the show

Tennessee's defensive backs owe fans attending the Orange and White Game an apology.
The 35,891 in Neyland Stadium were understandably there to check out UT quarterbacks Matt Simms and Tyler Bray. After all, there's a close competition at the sport's most marquee position.
Neither quarterback, however, was able to do much against UT's secondary, even without departed star Eric Berry. The top duo at quarterback completed just 30 of 66 passes for 325 yards, three interceptions and two touchdowns.
Simms was responsible for all the interceptions, throwing one to safety Darren Myles Jr. just before halftime.
"I saw the quarterback looking at the receiver the whole time-that was his mistake," said Myles, who also batted down another pass. "I just made a play on the ball. At the safety position, Janzen (Jackson) and I just have a connection and we like to confuse the quarterback."
Jackson, who also defended a pass at strong safety, has played closer to the line of scrimmage this season as opposed to last year when he roamed deep as a free safety.
"Janzen is good at everything; that's part of the problem," head coach
Derek Dooley said. "But he can't do everything."
Jackson has impressed Dooley so much with his athleticism that he even returned punts on Saturday, returning two for 43 yards.
"He's got ability back there," Dooley said. "He doesn't know how to hold the ball yet. That kind of worries me. He's not afraid. He's got the great returner mentality."
Said Jackson, "That is pretty new for me in college. I did it in high school, so I might be getting a chance at it this season."
Jackson also showcased the type of play that UT fans are used to when he rocked kick returner David Oku in the first quarter.
Even more importantly, Jackson has shown Dooley none of the shortcomings that nearly derailed his career last year when he was charged with attempted armed robbery last fall - a charge that was later dropped.
"I've seen nothing but a great smile, a phenomenal attitude, a phenomenal work ethic," Dooley said. "We're working very hard to support him off the field. He's been great. He's been a real treat to coach. I hope he continues to do that and I expect him to."
