2. Improve the secondary
This goes hand-in-hand with the first point. The secondary has struggled for two straight weeks, and while stopping No. 1 receivers has been the top issue, all five secondary spots need to improve on some level. It’ll be interesting to see if the Vols get Todd Kelly Jr. back on the field more after he hasn’t been much of a factor for the past few weeks. Justin Coleman really struggled against South Carolina as well. He’s one of the most experienced defenders on the roster, so don’t expect the coaches to straight bench him, but competition should rev up there. Keep an eye on younger guys such as Rashaan Gaulden, Malik Foreman and Evan Berry to see if they can make any kind of move.
