Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings reached high into the Athens sky and pulled down a piece of Volunteer lore on Saturday. Maybe it was just the football gods repaying Tennessee for eight years of heartbreak.Since Tennessees last SEC East title in 2007, the Volunteers have been a skipping record of heartbreak.There was the 13-men-on-the-field play at LSU in 2010, and the inexplicable ending in a Music City Bowl loss to North Carolina months later. In 2013, a Pig Howard fumble out of the end zone resulted in an overtime loss to Georgia, and a replay review on a fourth-and-inches stop allowed Vanderbilt to upset the Vols 14-10 in Knoxville. Then there was fourth-and-14 in Gainesville last year.Moment after moment of complete heartbreak.But this season feels different. All of the breaks are falling the way of a talented Volunteers team. Tennessee recovered Joshua Dobbs overtime fumble in the end zone against Appalachian State, and was gifted a momentous Virginia Tech fumble inside the Hokies 10-yard line a week later in Bristol. Then there was the 21-point comeback in Knoxville that ended an 11-year losing streak to Florida.All of this culminating with the Dobbs-to-Jennings Hail Mary at Georgia on Saturday.Is Tennessee a team of destiny? Sure feels like it. The Vols very much resemble the 2013 Auburn team that used the Kick Six and Prayer at Jordan-Hare to propel itself to the SEC title and BCS national championship game.But one has to wonder how deep Tennessees emotional reserves are. After the emotion of the past two weeks, can the Vols get back up to play perhaps the two best teams in the SEC the next two weeks -- Texas A&M and Alabama? We will certainly find out.Other Week 5 NotesWhat happened to all the great SEC tailbacks?Five games into the season and Leonard Fournette, Nick Chubb and Jalen Hurd are not among the top five tailbacks in rushing yards in the SEC. Who saw this coming?For various reasons, the SECs three star running backs coming into this season have been grounded. Fournette has missed two games with an ankle injury, Chubb missed Saturdays game against Tennessee with an ankle injury (one carry aside), and also went three straight games with less than 100 yards rushing due to some inept blocking from Georgias offensive line.Hurd has been the bell cow of Tennessees offense, ranking third in the SEC with 101 carries, but he is averaging just 4.0 yards per rush with a long of only 28.Only three running backs in the conference are averaging more than 100 yards per game, led by Vanderbilts Ralph Webb (116.4). Arkansas Rawleigh Williams (111.8) and Auburns Kerryon Johnson (103.4) are the others.One team. One heartbeat.Ed Orgeron may not be musically inclined, but LSUs interim coach brought a new musical instrument into LSUs team meeting room on Friday - a giant drum. The motto he is installing in his team? One team. One heartbeat.It was a resounding heartbeat in Orgerons LSU head coaching debut against Missouri on Saturday. LSU racked up 634 yards of offense in a 42-7 win. It marked a school record for offense in an SEC game, all coming without the services of Fournette.Meanwhile, a rejuvenated LSU team is still very much a contender for the SEC West title, especially given its talent level.Did Tennessee wrap up the SEC East on Saturday?It sure feels like it. The Vols hold a two-game lead (with the tiebreaker) over Florida and a three-game lead (with the tiebreaker) over Georgia. Kentucky (1-2), Missouri (0-2), South Carolina (1-3) and Vanderbilt (0-2) are all on the outside looking in. Florida has the best chance to take the division from Tennessee if the Gators can win out, and Tennessee loses twice, not completely out of the realm of possibilities with Texas A&M and Alabama still on the Volunteers schedule.Quote of the weekA wise man once told me that no matter what, youve even got to bring those ugly babies home from the hospital.

SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Lewis Hamilton just beat Nico Rosberg to the fastest time in final practice for the British Grand Prix as the two Mercedes drivers prepare for a head-to-head battle in qualifying.The session started damp, but as soon as it was dry enough to set a clean lap, both Mercedes took to the track on soft tyres. Hamiltons first attempt was 0.097s quicker than Mercedes teammate Rosberg before a 17-minute stoppage was induced by Marcus Ericsson crashing on the exit of Stowe.Ericsson lost the rear of his Sauber on the exit of Stowe, sending his car back across the track and resulting in a hard impact with the tyre barrier near the pit entrance. The force of the impact ripped three wheels off the car and also resulted in his steering wheel pinging off, hitting him in the chest. He walked away from the accident, but the car is unlikely to be fully repaired in the two hours ahead of qualifying.The session was restarted with just five minutes remaining and both Mercedes returned to the track with a fresh set of soft tyres. Rosberg improved first, becoming the first driver to set a time in the 1:30s this weekend, but Hamilton hit back moments later with a lap 0.063s quicker than his teammate. The Mercedes drivers were half a secondd clear of Daniel Ricciardos Red Bull in third place, who was just under a tenth quicker than teammate Max Verstappen.ddddddddddddSebastian Vettel was over a second off the pace of Hamilton, but another gearbox failure appeared to strike as he crossed the line on his last attempt. After a gearbox issue in Austria and another one during Friday practice this weekend, the issue will be the biggest concern for the team ahead of qualifying.There was another big gap in the times to Valtteri Bottas in sixth place, 1.832s off Hamilton, and just 0.018s faster than Fernando Alonso in the McLaren. Nico Hulkenberg and Kimi Raikkonen were also within a tenth of Bottas as the fight for the positions outside the top five looks set to be every bit as competitive as the battle for pole between the Mercedes drivers.Carlos Sainz and Esteban Gutierrez will also fancy their chances of making the top ten in qualifying after finishing ahead of the second McLaren of Jenson Button. Felipe Massa had a session to forget down in 15th, sandwiched between Sergio Perez and Daniil Kvyat, who also finished off the pace of their respective teammates. ' ' '
