  "account": "Tennessee football running back Daune Morris was involved in a car accident late on November 12th, resulting in his absence from the upcoming game against Texas A&M. The source who provided this information chose to remain anonymous as Tennessee officials have not confirmed Morris' condition. The Tennessee Vols, currently at 7-2, 5-2 in the SEC, face off against Texas A&M (4-5, 1-5) on November 14th at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN. The loss of starting left guard Nic Moore and starting defensive end Tyree Weathersby has already impacted Tennessee's preparations for this crucial road game against the Aggies. Moore was ruled out in the SEC availability report on November 12th, while Weathersby, the team's leading sack taker, suffered a season-ending knee injury during Tennessee's win over Kentucky on November 7th. Morris, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound sophomore and former Oakland High standout from Murfreesboro, is a backup to Heisman Trophy candidate DeSean Bishop. This season, Morris has contributed 66 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and six receptions for 35 yards. He delivered a game-changing 66-yard touchdown run against Kentucky to ignite the Vols' offense. Javin Gordon, a Tulane transfer, is the next in line in the backfield rotation, having amassed 28 carries for 129 yards despite missing four games due to injury. Bishop leads the nation with 1,066 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, while the Tennessee rushing offense, at 216 yards per game, tops the SEC. Adam Sparks, Tennessee's football beat reporter, authored this report.",
