Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
The Tennessee Volunteers have been hammered by the god of injuries, who wields a hammer, so it makes sense that they've had to resort to just plucking players out of thin air:
The kicker in question, redshirt freshman walk-on Derrick Brodus, had never played a down of college football before Saturday and grew up a soccer star in nearby Maryville. He wasn't even part of the Volunteer's gameday roster and wasn't even listed on the depth chart. Which is why he wasn't even at Neyland Stadium an hour before kickoff--he was alseep on his couch preparing to watch the Vols take on the Blue Raiders on TV.
