Jalen Hurd, highly recruited running back, got a chance to show his ability when he carried the ball for 66 yards rushing and one touchdown carry. He also caught a pass for 27 yards. "Josh has been pretty much doing that all spring", Jones said. "You can see he adds a whole other dynamic to our offense. I said it in the offseason: We have to be able to throw a 5-yard pass and turn it into a 20-yard gain. That was missing from our offense last year, and we've really helped ourselves in recruiting. Josh has been an individual that, right from practice one, he can be as good as he wants to be."

"I'm not sure how much this helps or hurts Tennessee", GoVols247's Wes Rucker said in an interview with Bleacher Report.


2014 Tennessee Volunteers football team, Before the season, Post spring practice
"I think Ferguson had the most upside of Tennessee's four quarterbacks, but he was arguably the least consistent. "I thought before this came out that Justin Worley was the starter going into the season, and obviously, this news doesn't change that. I think this potentially creates more long-term questions than short-term questions."

The first week showed no clear front-runner for the starting QB job. In fact, it brought a lot of all too familiar problems to the surface such as inconsistency and timing. "I need much more consistency at the quarterback position right now", Bajakian said. The freshman who are here to bring Tennessee back to prominence did show great signs in the first week. "It's gonna be a slow process", Utah freshman safety Todd Kelly Jr. told GoVols247's Wes Rucker. "It's a learning process. We just got here. We've only been here for about a month and a half.

After the final week of fall camp, Coach Jones made it clear that the young team is a work in progress on maturity and mentality. "We're still work-in-progress from the maturity standpoint. Like I said, some individuals are ahead of others in terms of maturity. We knew this. This isn't any surprise to us. They're 17-year-old kids going through their first training camp. It's having that mental toughness, mental conditioning to fight through the fatigue, especially the mental fatigue. We talk about being relentless and having a relentless approach.

But the mental approach is so much more important than the physical approach. … We're very, very youthful. So every day is a learning experience for them."

In the first road game of the season, Tennessee suffered its first loss of the season at the hands of the fourth ranked Oklahoma Sooners. The young offensive line was overwhelmed the whole night by the much more experienced Sooner defense as they sacked Justin Worley five times (not including one that was negated by a face mask penalty), intercepted two balls in the end zone, including one that was returned 100 yards for a touchdown, and recovered a fumble. "We improved in some areas, but when you go on the road against a quality opponent like Oklahoma you can't turn the football over", Butch Jones said. "A game can come down to two or three plays and you never know which plays are going to make a difference."

In their first SEC game of the 2014 season, Tennessee fell short of upsetting a ranked Georgia team for the third consecutive year. The defense kept the Vols in the game, but inconsistent drives and failing to capitalize on two interceptions prevented them from taking control of the game. Heisman candidate Todd Gurley ran for a career-high 217 yards and scored two touchdowns. Ultimately, a fumble in the end zone recovered by Josh Dawson is what sealed the game for the Bulldogs.

In their third SEC game of the 2014 season, Tennessee had its lowest offensive production of the season in a 34 to three loss to the third ranked Ole Miss Rebels. "Turnovers were the story of the game", Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. "We had a lot of negative yardage. When you are 3-for-16 on third-down conversions you are not giving yourself an opportunity to be in the game and win." The Volunteers continued to play excellent on defense. "They're phenomenal", Wallace said. "They're fun to watch. Before the season I knew they were good. I didn't know they were this good. All I have to do is take care of the ball."

2014 Tennessee Volunteers football team, Schedule, Game summaries, #19 Missouri
Safety Brian Randolph committed a targeting penalty in the previous game and had to sit out the first half. The absences forced Coach Butch Jones to start seven true freshmen, something never done before in a Tennessee game. The Vols recovered an onside kick with less than two minutes remaining in the game, but it was ruled Missouri ball since it didn't go ten yards. After reviewing the play, a Missouri player had touched the ball before it went ten yards making it a live ball which Tennessee recovered. However, referee Matt Austin also ruled that Tennessee had been offsides on the kick and had to re-kick it. Tennessee recovered the ball on the re-kick, but Justin Coleman touched the ball before it went ten yards, so Missouri took over and won the game.
