- Tennessee listed freshman Faizon Brandon as the starting quarterback for the Furman opener, with George MacIntyre second and Ryan Staub third. - Tennessee's running back chart starts with DeSean Bishop and Javin Gordon, with Daune Morris or Justin Baker listed as the third option. - Tennessee listed multiple ORs at wide receiver, right guard, right tackle, defensive tackle, defensive end, Mike linebacker, and several return spots, showing several unresolved rotation points. - Tennessee's starting offensive line lists David Sanders Jr., Wendell Moe Jr., Sam Pendleton, Jesse Perry or Shamurad Umarov, and Jesse Perry or Ory Williams across the front. - Cooper Ranvier is listed as Tennessee's placekicker, Jackson Ross as punter and holder, Josh Turbyville as kickoff specialist, and Bennett Brady as long snapper.

- OL/LB: Will be interesting to me if a returning starter on the Oline is displaced by Williams as this guy predicts.

- QB/OL: David Paschall spoke at the Ooltewah Kiwanis Club recently and basically said the same thing.

- OL: it’s definitely a business…I saw where a former 1st round OL from Bama was released…he had started 28 games over the last two seasons.

- Tennessee could field five offensive-line starters with prior starting experience if Shambu Marov opens at right guard and Jesse Perry at right tackle; David Sanders narrowly misses the usual returning-starter definition after six starts last season. - The Volunteers are set to start a true freshman quarterback in the opener for the first time since 2004. - Defensive improvement depends heavily on the line staying healthy and generating a pass rush, especially because the secondary becomes young quickly behind the top group.
