One analyst is intrigued by the Tennessee football Volunteers’ preseason hype.
The Southeastern Conference has a long history of producing incredible college football seasons. However, Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports says this is one of the SEC’s most intriguing seasons in a decade, and Tennessee football is a big reason for that.
Amidst the hype surrounding Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach going to the Ole Miss Rebels and Mississippi State Bulldogs respectively, the SEC West no longer being dominated by the Alabama schools and pressure mounting on numerous coaches, Sallee listed the expectations behind the Vols as one of the 10 reasons this will be such an intriguing season.
