Tennessee's QB Battle and Defense Rebuild | Vanderbilt Commodores Football News

Tennessee’s got a big chance to bounce back after a brutal 45-24 loss to Vanderbilt last year, but they’re facing a make-or-break quarterback battle with freshman phenom Faizon Brandon stepping into the spotlight. Surrounded by elite talent on offense — including a top-ranked receiver — the Vols’ offense ranked seventh in total yards last season, but their defense ranked 91st, prompting a full rebuild with a new coordinator and five returning starters. The schedule is brutal, featuring road games against Texas A&M and Arkansas, plus a primetime rematch with Vanderbilt.
