KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee's Jauan Jennings says he wasn't even thinking about the possibility of cracking the starting lineup for the season opener when he moved from quarterback to wide receiver last month.

Now he is on top of the depth chart as the 25th-ranked Volunteers prepare for Saturday's game against Bowling Green at Nashville's Nissan Stadium, about a 45-minute drive from Jennings' hometown of Murfreesboro. Not bad for someone who says his experience at receiver before last month was limited to backyard games with his brothers.
