In the meantime, here are a few links as we close out September and look forward to October ...
- Injured Tennessee linebacker Nick Reveiz has a long, hard road ahead of him, and he knows it, writes Dave Hooker of the Knoxville News Sentinel.
- Vols WR Gerald Jones is frustrated with his lack of a big role in offense, writes Austin Ward of the Knoxville News Sentinel.
- Former tight end Aaron Douglas started his first game at right tackle for Tennessee last week, writes Wes Rucker of the Chattanooga Times.
- ESPN.com's Pat Forde is back with his weekly Forde Yard Dash. He even touches on Auburn:
- Lesson Four: The quarterbacks in Alabama are just fine. Better than fine, actually. ... Those Auburn fans who derided Chris Todd 11) last season as an overmatched SEC quarterback who was little more than doomed offensive coordinator Tony Franklin's pet have presumably changed their tune. Todd has flourished in Gus Malzahn's version of the spread and ranks sixth nationally in pass efficiency, with 11 touchdowns and one interception.
- Another day, another Tim Tebow update. It's a good thing Florida has a bye this week or the hysteria would be ridiculous.
- Florida's athletics director Jeremy Fowler and coach Urban Meyer were classy in sending a letter to Kentucky thanking the university for how it provided assistance after Tebow's injury, writes Chip Cosby of the Lexington Herald-Leader.

- Southern Cal RB Stafon Johnson won't play again this year, but it appears his career is not over after a freak weightlifting accident, writes Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.
- This Texas Tech story is only made greater by this picture. Of course, the suspended linemen tweeted the news.

- Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that even if Boise State runs the table, it shouldn't be given consideration for the national championship game.
- Houston must not celebrate with its fans on the field too often. Lesson No. 1, guys: keep possession of your helmet at all times.
- Here's another piece of advice for defenders: don't field a missed field goal if you don't have to. This high schooler probably won't live this down any time soon.
