KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee keeps putting itself in early holes and digging its way out.The 11th-ranked Volunteers have trailed by double-digit margins in three of their four games this season, yet they remain undefeated. The trend continued Saturday when they erased a 21-point deficit to beat Florida 38-28 despite missing three of their top four defensive players. Florida, which had been ranked 19th, slipped to 23rd in the latest Top 25.Their uncanny ability to finish has the Vols off to their fastest start since 2003.I feel like we play better when were down, defensive end Derek Barnett said. Thats something weve got to get corrected.Indeed, Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) cant afford to continue falling behind as its schedule gets tougher. The Vols visit No. 25 Georgia and No. 9 Texas A&M and host No. 1 Alabama in the next three weeks.But their response to adversity shows a resiliency that was missing this time last year, when Tennessee got off to a 3-4 start. The Vols have won 10 straight games since.This latest victory arguably was the most impressive of the streak. After falling behind 21-0, Tennessee scored 38 straight points. Facing the nations top-ranked defense, Tennessee scored five touchdowns in a stretch of six second-half series.Tennessee rallied despite playing without injured cornerback Cam Sutton and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. The Vols also played the majority of Saturdays game without linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin.Theyre hearing the boos at halftime, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. They could have folded. They could have come in and they could have gotten down on themselves and they didnt. They responded like you wanted them to respond.Tennessee has been outscored 34-10 in the first quarter and 60-44 in the first half. But the Vols are outscoring opponents 87-24 in the second half and overtime.Thats a marked contrast from last season, when Tennessee led in all four of its losses and was up by at least 13 points in three of them.Jones believes the team benefited from its season-opening struggles against Appalachian State, when Tennessee trailed 13-3 at halftime before rallying for a 20-13 overtime victory . Tennessee followed that up by erasing a 14-0 deficit in a 45-24 triumph over Virginia Tech .I thought that was needed, Jones said of the Appalachian State experience. I thought we needed to prove that we could not play our best, force the game to overtime and win the football game. From that point forward, weve gained confidence in close games.Jones said Tennessee played too emotionally in the first half Saturday and was living and dying on every single snap. The Vols showed more poise in the second half.Tennessee running back Alvin Kamara said he remembered how former Vols Al Wilson and Jamal Lewis told him before the game to keep the team calm, stay calm and that the message resonated throughout the day.We just had to go out, not get caught up in the moment, not get caught up in all the extra stuff thats going on, the hype and everything, quarterback Joshua Dobbs said. Just go out -- its simple -- and execute as we do in practice.Footballs a simple game. You can make it a lot more complicated than it really is.In the first half of games this season, Dobbs is completing just 50.8 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions, and hes averaging 3 yards per carry. After halftime, Dobbs is completing 65.2 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and two interceptions, and hes averaging 5.5 yards per rush.Dobbs production can vary wildly over the course of the game, but his attitude stays the same in any situation.At the quarterback position ... you dont want the ebbs and flows and the peaks and the valleys, Jones said. You want someone who is very consistent in their approach. Thats Joshua Dobbs. Hes very consistent in his approach. Hes very calm. Hes very collected. Our team feeds off of that.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Mark Lowe Jersey .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.

No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. http://www.dodgersteamproshop.com/Dodgers-Kirk-Gibson-Kids-Jersey/ . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. Sandy Koufax Jersey . Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start in team history. Logan Forsythe Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. The 17th-ranked Purdue basketball team will attempt to win its third November tournament in the past eight seasons Wednesday night when the Boilermakers face Auburn in the Cancun Challenge championship game.And if coach Matt Painters team wins, the Boilermakers will have beaten a Southeastern Conference opponent in each of those three events title games.Purdue (3-1) defeated Tennessee in the 2009 Paradise Jam in The Virgin Islands when current Auburn coach Bruce Pearl was coaching the Volunteers. The 2015 Boilermakers defeated Florida in the Hall of Fame Tipoff title game in Connecticut.Now, Painter will attempt to get the best of Pearl again after Auburn defeated Texas Tech 67-65 in Tuesdays first semifinal, and Purdue pulled away from Utah State, 85-64.Boilermaker center Isaac Haas scored a career-best 26 points against Utah State, guard Dakota Mathias added a career-best 25 on 9 of 10 field goal shooting and power forward Caleb Swanigan had 15 points.Dakota had a great night, and Isaac was just as good on the interior, taking his time, Painter said. A lot of people who have some size arent used to doubling. When they go and double, its tough for them when they get there late. Trouble happens.Against Utah State, Isaac did a good job of waiting and taking his time. I thought Caleb did, too. Both of those guys really had a good night Tuesday.Painter is hoping to get just as much perimeter help from Mathias against Auburn as he got against Utah State.The more you can make other teams pay -- getting them in foul trouble, playing against their backup bigs -- and then being able to step up and hit some 3s will really help us set our defense more, Painter said.dddddddddddd.The more consistent we can get on the offensive end, they constantly are going to be going against a set defense, which is what you want.Mathias said Haas and Swanigan help create open shots for Purdues perimeter players.They are so good when they get doubled or triple-teamed, being able to pass out of it, Mathias said. I think especially Isaac has improved.When teams double our big men, weve got guys on the perimeter who can move around the horn and make shots. That is tough to guard.Auburn improved to 4-0 for the second time in the last 10 years. In Mustapha Heron and Danjel Purifoy, the Tigers had two freshmen reach double figures in each of their first four games for the first time since Scott Pohlmam during the 1997-98 season.Beating Texas Tech was a great win for our program and a great win for our kids, Pearl said. Texas Tech is an NCAA caliber team. I thought we stopped guarding in the second half, but hey, I would rather learn and win than learn and lose.While Pearl starts three freshman and two sophomores, he is happy to have fifth-year graduate student point guard Ronnie Johnson, who was Purdues starting point guard as a freshman and sophomore before transferring to Houston to play for Kelvin Sampson.After earning an undergraduate degree in the spring, Johnson opted to move again -- this time to Auburn.
