Episode Notes

Tennessee Volunteers face skepticism over their quarterback situation, but is counting out Josh Heupel’s offense a mistake? Eric Cain breaks down why doubting the Vols due to inexperienced QBs is both lazy and misguided, spotlighting Heupel’s proven record with first-year starters like Sam Bradford, Drew Lock, Dillon Gabriel, Hendon Hooker and more. Does history suggest Tennessee’s offense will surprise critics yet again?

The episode also ranks the Volunteers’ presence in On3’s Top 100 college football players, with Chaz Coleman and Braylon Staley making the cut, and highlights elite opponents Tennessee will face, including Texas and South Carolina standouts. Wrapping up, Cain recaps the Vols baseball team’s SEC tournament run, discusses Selection Monday projections, and updates listeners on injuries to key players like Reese Chapman. Can Tennessee outperform the naysayers this season—both on the gridiron and diamond?
