Vols making too many mistakes to be competitive

By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Coach Derek Dooley felt a little bit better about Tennessee's efforts as he jogged off the field after the Volunteers' loss to Florida. That changed when he watched video from the game and felt sick when he saw all of the missed opportunities. The Vols (1-2) again were a victim of their own youth and inexperience in a 31-17 loss to ninth-ranked Florida on Saturday. They didn't give up this time, like they did in a loss to fifth-ranked Oregon, but they made mistakes which cost them what was a winnable game in Dooley's eyes. The coach also thinks UAB (1-2) has enough experience and depth to take advantage of Tennessee's mistakes, just like the Gators did. He says the Blazers don't even need to play their best to beat the Vols. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press.  All Rights Reserved.) AP-NY-09-20-10 1805EDT
