KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee keeps putting itself in early holes and digging its way out.The 11th-ranked Volunteers have trailed by double-digit margins in three of their four games this season, yet they remain undefeated. The trend continued Saturday when they erased a 21-point deficit to beat Florida 38-28 despite missing three of their top four defensive players. Florida, which had been ranked 19th, slipped to 23rd in the latest Top 25.Their uncanny ability to finish has the Vols off to their fastest start since 2003.I feel like we play better when were down, defensive end Derek Barnett said. Thats something weve got to get corrected.Indeed, Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) cant afford to continue falling behind as its schedule gets tougher. The Vols visit No. 25 Georgia and No. 9 Texas A&M and host No. 1 Alabama in the next three weeks.But their response to adversity shows a resiliency that was missing this time last year, when Tennessee got off to a 3-4 start. The Vols have won 10 straight games since.This latest victory arguably was the most impressive of the streak. After falling behind 21-0, Tennessee scored 38 straight points. Facing the nations top-ranked defense, Tennessee scored five touchdowns in a stretch of six second-half series.Tennessee rallied despite playing without injured cornerback Cam Sutton and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. The Vols also played the majority of Saturdays game without linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin.Theyre hearing the boos at halftime, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. They could have folded. They could have come in and they could have gotten down on themselves and they didnt. They responded like you wanted them to respond.Tennessee has been outscored 34-10 in the first quarter and 60-44 in the first half. But the Vols are outscoring opponents 87-24 in the second half and overtime.Thats a marked contrast from last season, when Tennessee led in all four of its losses and was up by at least 13 points in three of them.Jones believes the team benefited from its season-opening struggles against Appalachian State, when Tennessee trailed 13-3 at halftime before rallying for a 20-13 overtime victory . Tennessee followed that up by erasing a 14-0 deficit in a 45-24 triumph over Virginia Tech .I thought that was needed, Jones said of the Appalachian State experience. I thought we needed to prove that we could not play our best, force the game to overtime and win the football game. From that point forward, weve gained confidence in close games.Jones said Tennessee played too emotionally in the first half Saturday and was living and dying on every single snap. The Vols showed more poise in the second half.Tennessee running back Alvin Kamara said he remembered how former Vols Al Wilson and Jamal Lewis told him before the game to keep the team calm, stay calm and that the message resonated throughout the day.We just had to go out, not get caught up in the moment, not get caught up in all the extra stuff thats going on, the hype and everything, quarterback Joshua Dobbs said. Just go out -- its simple -- and execute as we do in practice.Footballs a simple game. You can make it a lot more complicated than it really is.In the first half of games this season, Dobbs is completing just 50.8 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions, and hes averaging 3 yards per carry. After halftime, Dobbs is completing 65.2 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and two interceptions, and hes averaging 5.5 yards per rush.Dobbs production can vary wildly over the course of the game, but his attitude stays the same in any situation.At the quarterback position ... you dont want the ebbs and flows and the peaks and the valleys, Jones said. You want someone who is very consistent in their approach. Thats Joshua Dobbs. Hes very consistent in his approach. Hes very calm. Hes very collected.

DETROIT -- The Philadelphia Flyers are on an eight-game winning streak going into Sundays game against the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena.The Flyers are 17-10-3 after beating the Dallas Stars 4-2 at home on Saturday afternoon. The Red Wings are 13-12-3 after a 4-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets Friday night at Joe Louis Arena.Brayden Schenn recorded his second career hat trick -- all on the power play -- for Philadelphia on Saturday.Look whos up top, Schenn said, crediting Jakub Voracek, captain Claude Giroux and defensemen Shayne Gostisbehere and Mark Streit for setting up his goals. Those (guys) make it happen up top and me and (Wayne Simmonds) find the garbage or the rebounds or the tips.Steve Mason made 21 saves for Philadelphia, which has won eight straight for the first time since Jan. 6-19, 2002.Voracek added an empty-net goal. He has four goals and 15 points during the eight-game winning streak.Schenn talked about his performance as it relates to the teams winning streak.Its always nice scoring goals and stuff like that, he said. When it comes in a winning effort, coming from behind again, its nice and helped keep the streak going.Gostisbehere said his right hand was OK after getting hit by defenseman Jordie Benns shot at 7:58 of the second period. He didnt play in the final 4:54 of the third period and said he had X-rays, which were precautionary.Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said his team has too create more traffic around the opponents net.dddddddddddd.We have to be a team that plays up the ice as fast as we can, Blashill told www.mlive.com. Were becoming a better O-zone team, so if we get pucks behind people and play in the other teams end we have a better chance to produce more offense.We have to be more determined to get to the net and put pucks to the net. I still think we pass up shots to try to make plays and we just have to understand that its going to be lots of shots.Gustav Nyquist and Riley Sheahan, in particular, have been struggling around the net. Nyquist has just one goal in the past 22 games and Sheahan hasnt scored a goal this season in 28 contests.The Red Wings and Flyers split a pair of games in Philadelphia six days apart in early November -- the Flyers won 4-3 in overtime on Nov. 2, and the Red Wings won 3-2 in a shootout, snapping a 12-game regular-season losing streak in Philadelphia that dated back to 1997.This will be the second of a season-long five game homestand for Detroit.The Red Wings are 2-7-2 in their past 11 at Joe Louis Arena and 6-7-2 for the season.Weve got to establish a little better home ice here, Thomas Vanek said. Were struggling on home ice. Weve just got to get some momentum early, get the fans behind us and keep that momentum going. ' ' '
