"Tennessee free safety Brian Randolph has heard the criticism of the Volunteers’ secondary and is ready to prove the skeptics wrong.“Before we get out there and start working, we get together and remind ourselves that people consider us the worst secondary in the SEC,” Randolph said. “That has been a motivator for us. I think it got us better this offseason.”The Vols gave up the most points (35.7) and yards (471.4) per game of any team in the Southeastern Conference last year in part because a lack of speed in the secondary made them vulnerable to big plays."

"Watch Tennessee’s wide receivers in any practice drill, and you’ll probably hear Jacob Carter’s voice.As a fourth-year junior, the former walk-on with eight career catches is the old guy of the Volunteers’ most inexperienced unit.Naturally, Carter is trying to shout tips, encouragement or corrections to the group.“Coach Z [receivers coach Zach Azzanni] preaches that a lot,” he said after Monday’s practice. “He wants the older guys to coach the younger guys. We kind of know how we’re feeling. Coach Z doesn’t always know how we’re feeling, so we try to help the younger guys out and try to coach them up a little bit.”"
