KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee wants to continue one streak before the Volunteers think about ending another.The 15th-ranked Volunteers (2-0) will seek their ninth consecutive victory over the last two seasons Saturday when they host Ohio (1-1). This marks Tennessees longest winning streak since a 14-game run from 1998-99.The visit from Ohio will be Tennessees last game before opening Southeastern Conference play next week against No. 23 Florida, which has beaten the Vols each of the last 11 seasons .Tennessee insists it isnt worrying about Florida just yet. The Vols are too concerned with trying to slow down an Ohio offense averaging 45 + points and 563 yards per game.Theres no looking ahead, Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs said. Were locked in and focused on the task at hand and getting ready for Saturday.Ohio, which has never beaten a Top 25 team, is trying to earn its second straight victory over a Power Five opponent after winning 37-21 at Kansas last week . The Bobcats took an early 25-0 lead in that game and are outscoring teams 14-0 in the first quarter thus far, while Tennessee has needed to erase double-digit deficits in each of its first two games.Certainly its a great challenge to play Tennessee, and you know I think our players look forward to those kinds of challenges, Ohio coach Frank Solich said. Well obviously play hard, and what we need to do is play our best football and see where that leaves us. Weve faced some very good football teams over the course of my time here. Some of those players that are on our team now have been in some very big games, and so we hope to handle it well and play our best football and see where that puts us.Tennessee coach Butch Jones knows Solich well from his own Mid-American Conference background. Jones coached Central Michigan from 2007-09. Jones Central Michigan team beat Solichs Ohio squad 20-10 in the 2009 MAC championship game.Jones noted that Ohio lost 31-29 to Appalachian State in last seasons Camellia Bowl after leading 24-7. Tennessee trailed Appalachian State 13-3 at halftime two weeks ago before winning 20-13 in overtime .This is a football program that has played on a big stage and has won big football games, Jones said. We know were going to get their best shot.---Some things to watch when Tennessee, a 27-point favorite, hosts Ohio:ON THE LINE: Ohio hasnt allowed a sack all year and has averaged 5.2 yards per carry, but the Bobcats offensive line faces a significantly tougher test Saturday. Tennessees Derek Barnett, who recorded 10 sacks each in 2014 and 2015, is still seeking his first sack of the season. Barnett said he had one of my softer performances against Virginia Tech last week.BALL-HAWKING VOLS: Tennessee forced five fumbles against Virginia Tech and recovered all of them. Tennessee safety Micah Abernathy had three fumble recoveries. Ohio must protect the football to stay close in this one.FINISHING DRIVES: Ohio kicker Louie Zervos already is 9 of 10 on field-goal attempts through the first two games of the season. Ohio wont have a chance of pulling the upset if its settling for field goals rather than scoring touchdowns.MOBILE QBs: Tennessees Joshua Dobbs ran for 106 yards and accounted for five touchdowns (three passing, two rushing) in a 45-24 victory over Virginia Tech . Ohios Greg Windham, a fifth-year senior but first-year starter, already has thrown for 560 yards and five touchdowns and has run for 183 yards and one touchdown. Windham averages 7.6 yards per carry.DEFENSIVE REINFORCEMENTS: Tennessee will be playing without defensive end LaTroy Lewis and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr., who have ankle injuries. Colton Jumper, a former walk-on, will be starting in place of Kirkland at Mike linebacker. Corey Vereen, who had a combined 18 starts in 2014-15, will likely start in place of Lewis.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org Dick Van Arsdale Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.Whether he is staying or going, Toronto Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo will learn his fate this weekend. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, and new CEO Tim Leiweke, reportedly has until Monday to decide whether or not to pick up the option for next season on Colangelos contract and is expected to meet with him this weekend. The Raptors finished 34-48 this season and missed the playoffs for a fifth straight year. While it is still possible that Colangelo will return to his post for next season, MLSE recently hired recruitment agency Korn/Ferry International to seek out potential replacements. And, according to a report from Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski, MLSE would like to replace Colangelo with current Denver Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri. Ujiri, who was the Raptors assistant GM from 2008 to 2010, was named the NBAs Executive of the Year earlier this month. The Nuggets finished third in the Western Conference this season with a 57-25 record. They were elimminated in the first round of the playoffs by Golden State.dddddddddddd Ujiris contract in Denver expires this summer but, according to Wojnarowski, he has had talks with Nuggets ownership about a possible extension. Other names that have been mentioned as possible replacements for Colangelo include Indiana Pacers GM Kevin Pritchard and Troy Weaver, vice-president and assistant general manager of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Colangelo joined the Raptors on February 28, 2006 – exactly one day after he had resigned his position as president and general manager with the Phoenix Suns.
