"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" at The Public Theater
The show was a sold-out success for the Community Theater of Little Rock as they took the stage at The Public Theater for the final weekend of the production. Next up is "The Crucible" in October.
KNOXVILLE – Tennessee’s defensive coordinator changed locations, and it briefly changed how a maligned unit performed.
With Sal Sunseri moving to the coaching booth from the sideline, the Volunteers held Missouri to 64 first-half yards and 371 in regulation in Saturday afternoon’s 51-48 four-overtime loss to the Tigers at Neyland Stadium.
After allowing an average of 483 yards per game, Tennessee was respectable against Missouri, but the Tigers found a rhythm in the second half and scored touchdowns on each of their possessions in the first three overtimes.
“The players were playing good,” head coach Derek Dooley said. “They were executing the defense. We didn’t put them in a lot of bad positions to mess up or get challenged deep in the part of the field.”
