From The Tennessean

"Tennessee guard Ariel Massengale says the Lady Vols are listening more closely to coach Holly Warlick this season.The Lady Vols are hoping that extra attention helps them earn the Final Four bid that has eluded them since their 2008 national championship season. Tennessee opened practice Monday with most of the nucleus back from a team that went 29-6 and reached a regional semifinal last season."

No changes coming on offensive line for Vols

From USA Today

"Tennessee coach Butch Jones says he isn’t planning on making any lineup changes to an offensive line that has given up the most sacks in the Southeastern Conference.The Volunteers yielded six sacks Saturday as they fell 10-9 to Florida for their third consecutive loss. Tennessee has given up 18 sacks through the first five games of the year. Only seven of the nation’s 128 Football Bowl Subdivision schools are allowing more sacks per game."
