- Tennessee's unofficial Kennesaw State flip-card depth chart follows starting tight end Ethan Davis' season-ending ACL injury against Georgia Tech. DaSaahn Brame and Trent Thomas share the first-line TE listing with an OR; Luca Wolf and Cole Harrison share the second line. The chart does not resolve a sole replacement. - Tennessee's unofficial chart leaves both right-side OL spots unresolved: Jesse Perry OR Shamurad Umarov at right guard, and Perry OR Ory Williams at right tackle. David Sanders Jr., Wendell Moe Jr. and Sam Pendleton lead the left tackle, left guard and center listings; Perry is not confirmed to start at both right-side positions. - Tennessee's unofficial chart lists Radarious Jackson OR Travis Smith Jr. OR TK Keys together on one first-line receiver group. Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley head the other two groups, with Ian Duarte and Tyreek King behind them respectively. The co-listing does not establish snap shares or a newly settled receiver order. - Tennessee retains OR listings for Daevin Hobbs/Nathan Robinson at defensive tackle, Jordan Norman/Mariyon Dye at defensive end and Jeremiah Telander/Amare Campbell at Mike linebacker. Arion Carter heads the Will listing ahead of Edwin Spillman; these are unofficial chart positions, not confirmed game snap allocations. - Tennessee lists Daune Morris OR Qua Moss for kickoff returns and Moss OR Morris for punt returns. Moss also heads the nickel listing. Cooper Ranvier leads the placekicker chart, Josh Turbyville handles kickoffs and Jackson Ross is listed as punter and holder.

- OL/LB: I’ve watched the GT game 4 times (only offense).

- OL: Today we learn that OL play is not part of the "scheme".

- OL: Most important are letting BF cut it loose and getting our 5 ol figured out.

- Injury: UT OL and DL sure not blowing anyone up with strength.

- OL: ok I get all of that but the whole conversation was if the line would be better if he was here so not sure how any of what you said is relevant

- QB/OL: Ummm...thanks for calling out everyone in volnation...ha.

- After Tennessee's 45-24 win at Georgia Tech, Faizon Brandon credited the offensive line and running backs as the offense's strongest area. Daune Morris ran for 98 yards with a 47-yard touchdown; Brandon said that explosiveness matched what teammates had seen in practice. The interview does not announce a change in the backfield pecking order. - Brandon said he kept his eyes downfield while scrambling, preserving the possibility of a throw and holding coverage long enough to pick up first downs when receivers were not open. This describes his response to passing plays breaking down, not an announced increase in designed quarterback runs. - Brandon described his first touchdown as hard play action that opened Ethan Davis on the pop route. On the second, he held his eyes on the post while the wheel route developed for Braylon. These are specific examples of Tennessee creating openings through quarterback eye discipline and route combinations. - Brandon cited Joey Halzle's emphasis on avoiding negative plays and said he trusts Tennessee's defense to get the ball back after stalled drives. He separately said coaches had not given him a specific instruction about not forcing throws during lulls; that restraint was his own approach, not a newly announced conservative play-calling mandate.

- OL/LB: After watching these games today, I'm expecting GTs offensive line will look much better this week.

- OL: The right side of our offensive line is having a tough time tonight

- OL/DL: Vols DL Daevin Hobbs is still dressed out and jogging back to Tennessee's sideline as the second half begins.

- OL: VQ staff was spot on describing him this offseason and his variety of exotic pressures.

- OL: Sham cant be a starter if we are going to be good.

- OL: I like to think they're just running a simple base tight and looking to open up more later this year but I just don't know if that makes sense.
