Predicting Tennessee football's top performers for 2023 season

Tennessee football will have a new leading receiver this season and a new sacks leader. That much is guaranteed. But, what about rushing yards? Tackles? Will incumbents retain their place on the leaderboard, or will a new stat-stuffer emerge? Tennessee's season opener against Virginia is less than two weeks away - it's already getting chippy - so…

Tennessee's encore to an 11-2 season begins to take shape Wednesday, when preseason workouts begin. "It's the best time of year," coach Josh Heupel said. "Excited to open up training camp."

Joe Milton has big shoes to fill in 2023. He's the successor to Hendon Hooker, a third-round NFL Draft choice of the Detroit Lions and one of the best players in all of college football a season ago.

Pulling a Tennessee last season meant smashing expectations and reaching the Orange Bowl. The Vegas over/under pegged UT for 7½ victories. The Vols went…

LSU football can reach CFP playoff, but Tennessee Vols' path is easier

Two-loss LSU can play its way in to the College Football Playoff by beating No. 1 Georgia in the SEC Championship.
