"The Volunteers’ new wideouts may not have turned the corner at the midway point of spring practice, but the unit’s improvement since the first session is easily noticeable.“Night and day right now,” offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian said after practice last Thursday, the Vols’ final workout before the team broke for Tennessee’s spring break this week. “Can we get better? Absolutely. They’re making plays, and that’s the one thing: A few plays go your way, you walk off the field with a completely different attitude.”"

From Inside Tennessee 

"With six offensive linemen returning who boast 123 starts among them, Tennessee‘s blocking front is regarded as the cornerstone of the 2013 squad by most observers. But not all.“Everyone wants to crown our offensive line,” head coach Butch Jones said recently. “They haven’t done anything yet, in my opinion. All we’ve seen ’em do is run around in shorts.”"
