From a national perspective the leading question on Tennessee is some form of, “Can they finish?” We know all the one-liners: largest blown lead in Neyland Stadium history, three blown fourth quarter leads, three blown two possession leads, only team to blow two 13+ point leads in the fourth quarter.
There are plenty of intangible questions about those blown leads, ones Tennessee will have to wait until September to answer. But when those questions drift toward the area of conservative play-calling, we can at least try to offer a few data points.
Tennessee certainly seemed to find a home in risk management last season.
