A year ago, the Tennessee Volunteers may have had the youngest team in the nation. However, a preseason ranking along with 19 returning starters thrusts Butch Jones' squad into SEC East Division discussion. Jalen Hurd is a star in the making at runningback while Marquez North provides a downfield threat. On the other side of the ball, the defense continues to improve and returns two All-Conference selections in the front seven. Knoxville should prove to be a difficult place to play as the Oklahoma Sooners come to town for a top twenty-five showdown.
