KNOXVILLE — Derrick Brodus has completed the improbable journey from his couch to Tennessee’s starting lineup.
Brodus will take over for the slumping Michael Palardy as the 23rd-ranked Volunteers’ main kicker Saturday in their Southeastern Conference opener with No. 18 Florida. Palardy, who has missed an extra-point attempt in each of Tennessee’s first two games, will continue to handle kickoffs.
“We plan on kicking Derrick Brodus starting out as long as things stay the same during the week,” Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said. “I still believe in Mike, but he’s got some things he’s got to work through. Derrick’s certainly earned the right to be out there.” (more)
Remember that drunk kid that kicked that won the mtsu game last year?
Yeah, that's him. He had rsvp'd for the tailgate at kylie's this weekend, but apparently he won't be making it after all.
