Tennessee coach Derek Dooley might ditch the quarterback sneak for a while. UT quarterback Justin Worley got stuffed on a crucial sneak in the second quarter of Saturday night's 14-3 loss to South Carolina at Neyland Stadium. It was the second consecutive game the Vols couldn't convert a key fourth-and-1 on a sneak. Matt Simms was stopped for no gain in the same situation during the third quarter of the Vols' 37-6 loss at Alabama. "We've been 100 percent on quarterback sneaks until the last two weeks, and can't get a sneak on fourth down, so it's tough right now," Dooley said.
Worley, who replaced Simms as the Vols' starter for the South Carolina game, lined the Vols up for fourth-and-1 at the South Carolina 44-yard line with the Gamecocks leading 7-3. Worley was stopped by Melvin Ingram and Kelcy Quarles for no gain with 4:48 left in the half.
"It's six inches, you know," Dooley said. "But they knock us back, and we can't dig it out, so we've got to not sneak it with Justin and Matt."
