Does the Secondary Struggle?
Aside from maybe the offensive line, the Vols’ secondary has been the biggest area of concern for Vol fans this spring. Tennessee’s secondary struggled in a big way last season even though the stats don’t show it. Teams didn’t pass on Tennessee a ton because they could just torch them on the ground. But too often, UT’s corners would get beat or make bad reads on plays.
Will that be the case during the Orange & White Game as well?
Pruitt is a defensive backs coach by trade, and he’s been spending a ton of time with the Vols’ corners and safeties this spring. How different will that unit look after a month of work with Pruitt, Terry Fair, and Charles Kelly?
Can Nigel Warrior become a star in the SEC? How much progress have players like Baylen Buchanan and Shawn Shamburger made? What does Alontae Taylor look like at corner? We’ll get to see that and more this Saturday.
