Fulmer says Vols not panicking after loss

‘There’s no panic,’ Fulmer said Monday. ‘We’ve been here before and fought through it, and we’ll fight through it again.’

He said Tennessee is now preparing to face Arkansas State this Saturday.

In the Indians’ two games this season, sophomore quarterback Corey Leonard has completed 64 percent of his passes, throwing for two touchdowns and picking up three on the ground.

Tailback Reggie Arnold, who amassed 1,076 yards last year as a freshman, will look to continue the defensive woes for the Vols ‘ a unit that has given up 191.7 rushing yards per game.

However, Fulmer said he expects his players to be ready because they know where they need to improve.

‘Obviously we need to stop giving up points in the kicking game, stop giving up big plays on defense and offensively turning the ball over.’
