Sometimes, the best way for a football team to improve its stock is by not taking the field.
That proved true for Tennessee last weekend. As other SEC teams showed weakness, the Vols (4-0, 1-0 SEC) enjoyed an off weekend, then climbed one spot to No. 8 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA coaches poll.
On this edition of "The Volunteer State," Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's Adam Sparks and John Adams discuss Tennessee's road game against LSU on Saturday (noon ET, ESPN), the Vols' brightening outlook and what a pair of injuries mean for the team.
