Heard on SEC Media Day that we're the only FBS team that returns zero starters on the offensive and defensive line.

Heard on SEC Media Day that we're the only FBS team that returns zero starters on the offensive and defensive line.

It seems only fair that after each time this is observed out loud, we have Miao Yin from Big Trouble in Little China say, "Yes."

If Dobbs has made great strides (assuming he's the starter) and we can get decent play from the O-line, then I think we have the pieces to have a pretty good offense this year. But lack of experience and depth on the O-line really concerns me.

Also not very deep at RB, definitely gonna need Lane and Hurd to stay healthy this year.

"Twin-brother legacy freshmen Evan Berry and Elliot Berry confirmed Friday that they're still playing defensive back for Tennessee at this point, and both plan to open their first preseason camp as defensive backs.
Elliot Berry told reporters that he's been working at the safety and nickel positions but might move to outside linebacker in the future, and Evan Berry said he's been working exclusively at the cornerback position.

Both brothers said they didn't care what position they played, and that they just wanted to help a program they've known since childhood get back to its winning ways. Elliot said he "wouldn't care at all" if he were moved to linebacker.
Evan Berry and Elliot Berry are the younger brothers of former Vols and current Kansas City Chiefs star Eric Berry, and the sons of former Vols tailback James Berry."

Not sure what the purpose of the pattern is, but glad it's barely noticeable.

Jones talks roster flip, speed & more notes

Butch Jones expects a bigger, faster and stronger Tennessee football team --- but the Vols' second-year coach likewise notes there's no escaping the work still yet to be done for Tennessee in its program rebuild.

Calling it arguably the "greatest roster flip" in the history of college football, Jones talked at length about preparing an incredibly young team --- it ended spring with roughly a dozen scholarship seniors; Jones granted three former walk-ons scholarships since then --- in camp for a demanding season.

"Now going into camp, everything is about competition. There's no secret. It either brings out the best or the worst," Jones said of his UT roster. "We need to get to a point where every position on this roster is competing. Just like the wide receiver position, and we still have long way to go. ... We have some players that can catch and advance now."

I have great respect for Navy, but feel no guilt in appropriating the Middies' cheer and coloring it Big Orange. Amen, and Go Vols!
