Managing editor Nathanael Rutherford and staff writer Ben McKee discuss which unit concerns them more, the Vols’ pass rushers or their offensive line. They also talk about whether they prefer UT to get off to slow starts and improve as the game goes along or start off quickly and separate themselves from teams early. Florida’s loss to Kentucky and Georgia’s beat down of South Carolina are also discussed.
