KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Salomon Baratas Chinas Online . -- Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett is returning home with a chance to make history.Barnett, who is from Nashville, heads into the final regular-season game of his junior year with 31 career sacks. That leaves him just one shy of Reggie Whites 33-year-old Tennessee career record.All season, Barnett has downplayed the importance of setting that record. That hasnt changed now that hes only one away it as he heads to his hometown for the 24th-ranked Volunteers Saturday matchup with Vanderbilt (5-6, 2-5 SEC).I would be excited to catch that record back home, but Id be more excited if we get a `W, Barnett said after earning his 31st sack last week in a 63-37 victory over Missouri. Every time I step on the field, thats what Im worried about is winning. If thats me getting a sack, helping the team win, then (thats) good. Or if thats me just affecting the quarterback, getting no sacks and we still win, Im fine with that.Barnett already is the first Southeastern Conference player ever to post at least 10 sacks in three separate seasons. After posting 10 sacks each of his first two seasons, Barnett has an SEC-leading 11 sacks this year.Saturdays game also matches the SECs two top players in tackles for loss, as Barnett has 17 and Vanderbilts Zach Cunningham has 16 +.Tennessee (8-3, 4-3) has needed Barnett more than ever to lead a defense decimated by injuries at every level.The line lost three of its top tackles when Shy Tuttle and Kahlil McKenzie suffered season-ending injuries and Danny OBrien was dismissed from the team. The linebacker corps lost Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Quarte Sapp to season-ending injuries and also was missing Darrin Kirkland Jr. for five games due to a high ankle sprain. The secondary lost Cam Sutton for six games and could be without leading tackler Todd Kelly Jr. for a second straight game this week.I remember him in the locker room at halftime getting on guys, pushing the defense to play better, quarterback Joshua Dobbs said. If he sees guys are slacking or he sees guys are doing well, hes the first one to say anything.Barnett also has led by example. He has played his best when the stakes are highest, as all 11 of his sacks this season have come in SEC competition.When I watch him, that dudes a monster, Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said. Hes a beast one-on-one. Ive seen him beat one guy, two guys, three guys.Barnetts 50 career tackles for loss rank third in school history and put him three away from the school record set by Leonard Little, who had 53 from 1995-97.The only active Football Bowl Subdivision player with more career sacks is Texas A&Ms Myles Garrett, who has 32 +.Hes got a great motor, said Tennessee offensive tackle Brett Kendrick, who has the unenviable task of lining up against Barnett in practice. Even if you stop his initial move, hes always got a counter off that one, and even if you stop that, hes probably got a counter off that one. He just never stops.As well as Barnett has played, Tennessees defense has struggled overall. Tennessee ranks 11th out of 14 SEC teams in total defense and has given up over 400 yards rushing in each of its last two games.That may explain why Barnett has been overlooked on the national award circuit. Barnett wasnt selected as a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and the Chuck Bednarik Award, separate honors given out to the nations best overall defensive player.I dont want to take away from anybody else who was nominated for these national awards, but I dont know what else an individual has to do, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. (Considering) the transformation of our football program -- the mentality, him as a person, him as a competitor and the productivity that hes meant to our football program -- I think youd be hard pressed anywhere in the country to find anybody better or more deserving than Derek Barnett.---AP Sports Writer Teresa Walker in Nashville, Tennessee, contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee Salomon Baratas Chinas .

Graham Arnold has declared he cant imagine coaching anywhere else after signing a two-year A-League contract extension with Sydney FC.Having been linked to various clubs including Melbourne City, Dutch outfit Roda JC and even expansion hopefuls in Tasmania, Arnold has agreed to remain with the table-topping Sky Blues until 2019.It will make the 53-year-old the clubs longest-serving coach, his five years comfortably eclipsing the three-year stint of Vitezslav Lavicka, who led Sydney to their last title in 2010.Now in their seventh season without silverware, the former Central Coast championship-winning coach will reinforce his efforts to deliver undefeated Sydney a long-awaited trophy as part of his self-styled bid to turn the club into the Manchester United of the A-League.Sydney is my home and Sydney FC is my club, said Arnold, who joined in 2014 and led Sydney to a grand final in his first campaign.Im very happy here and I couldnt imagine coaching anywhere else right now.I feel this club has a fantastic vision and a great foundation ffrom which to build and win many trophies. Zapatillas Salomon Baratas. We have a fabulous culture among the players and staff.Arnold gave his strongest hint about where his future lay last week when he praised Sydneys improved facilities and set-up of an academy and spoke optimistically about the clubs future.Sydney chairman Scott Barlow hailed Arnold as the best coach in Australia.Hes absolutely the right man to continue to take us forward, Barlow said.We have had an outstanding start to the season, and this announcement provides us with further stability and continuity as we build towards our goals for this season and beyond.Arnolds retention is expected to make way for a host of personnel re-signings.Midfielder Brandon ONeill re-signed last week, but with around a dozen more players off contract at the end of this campaign the focus now will be locking in the clubs host of stars before as their stocks rise with each win.
