Tennessee football prepares to address key questions ahead of season opener

Tennessee football is set to begin its season on September 4 against Furman, as the program prepares to enter the Faizon Brandon era. The Volunteers aim to improve their standing in the SEC and potentially vie for a College Football Playoff spot. Key inquiries for the season include the immediate impact of freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon, the performance of a restructured defensive line, the contributions of new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, and the ability to generate explosive plays in the passing game without Chris Brazzell. Full evaluation will come during the early season games, particularly with a significant match against Georgia Tech on September 12.
