Why Tennessee can cover
Starting left tackle Lance Heard and starting right tackle John Campbell are both set to return for the Vols. Heard missed all of the Oklahoma game, while Campbell missed most of it after suffering an injury in the second quarter. Having them back in the lineup will open up more possibilities for Tennessee's high-powered offense.
Running back Dylan Sampson has been outstanding for the Vols thus far. The junior from Baton Rouge has rushed for 449 yards and 10 touchdowns on 69 carries. He has been a nice compliment to freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava who has 892 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions and 117 yards and a score on the ground.
