The Alliance of American Football continued its debut season in February as the new startup league looks to fill the football void after the Super Bowl.

The eight-team AAF, with its new rules including a shorter play clock, no kickoffs and no extra points and mic'd up coaches, quarterbacks and replay officials, features a handful of former NFL players and many familiar names for college football fans.

The AAF will have two games on Saturday and Sunday for 10 weeks with CBS Sports Network and the NFL Network broadcasting most of the games.

Among those familiar names for Tennessee are the now seven former Vols who play in the league, six of whom play for the Memphis Express.

Here's how those former Tennessee players fared during Week 4 of the AAF's debut season:

Corey Vereen, Colton Jumper and Montori Hughes were part of a defensive effort for the Express that allowed them to notch their first win of the season with a 26-23 victory against the San Diego Fleet on Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.

Vereen had two sacks and forced fumbles on both of them. Vereen's sacks came in the fourth quarter, the first resulting in a turnover that gave the Express possession just outside the red zone and leading to the game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion. After Memphis kicked a go-ahead field goal with 2:42 to go, Vereen came off the edge with an excellent pass-rush move to force the game-sealing sack-fumble.

Jumper, who played linebacker at Tennessee, started at strong safety for Memphis and finished with five tackles, the fourth-most on the team, and a pass breakup while matching up with Fleet tight ends Gavin Escobar, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys, and Ben Johnson.

Hughes started at defensive tackle and finished with three tackles, one tackle for loss and a forced fumble.

Cornerback Justin Martin was inactive for the game.

Offensively for the Express, wide receiver Pig Howard was targeted five times and finished with three catches for 39 yards, including a 28-yard reception from former Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger to set up a Memphis touchdown just before halftime.

Dallas Thomas started at right guard and was alert to recover a Mettenberger fumble on the opening series of the game.

Quarterback Matt Simms completed a 33-yard pass on the second play of the game for the Atlanta Legends against the Arizona Hotshots, but three plays later he suffered a hand injury while being sacked and did not return, and former Georgia star Aaron Murray came off the bench to throw for 254 yards to lead the Legends to their first win on Sunday.

Cameron Clear, who played one season at Tennessee before finishing his career at Texas A&M, started at tight end and caught two passes for 15 yards on three targets for the San Antonio Commanders in their 12-11 win against the Birmingham Iron on Sunday.

In Week 5, the Express play the Legends in Atlanta on Sunday (4 p.m., NFL Network).
