Anthony Poindexter said Tennessee's secondary executed its coverages with few communication busts against Furman, but emphasized that limited deep-pass testing leaves downfield coverage less established entering Georgia Tech.

Poindexter was encouraged that Tennessee's young reserves knew their assignments and lined up correctly in a small second-half sample, while making further playing time dependent on continued execution and physical effort.

In scouting Georgia Tech, Poindexter highlighted the quarterback's arm and accuracy alongside two or three dangerous receivers and a capable tight-end room as a stronger skill-position challenge than Tennessee saw against Furman.

Poindexter said Georgia Tech's multiple formations, shifts and motions force defenses to identify calls and communicate before the snap, making pre-snap recognition a central feature of the matchup.
