Tennessee tackle Antonio “Tiny” Richardson is the biggest star on a star-studded Vols offensive line.White knuckles
Welcome to the SEC, Butch Jones.
The schedule didn’t do Tennessee’s first-year coach any favors, as the Vols will face five teams — Oregon, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama — in the top 10 of the preseason USA Today Coaches’ Poll. If things go as expected, the Vols will enter November at 3-5, which means winning three of four in the final month — the Vols visit Missouri and Kentucky and play Auburn and Vanderbilt at home — would be necessary for UT to end a two-year streak without a bowl game.
The Missouri game is the key, as it could be table-setter for a strong finish to Jones’ first season.
