4. Find more depth
This is the last real chance in the regular season for players to make a push for more playing time. Several positions – including defensive line, linebacker and running back – all could use some depth behind the talented starters. And with running back Marlin Lane possibly out for extended time, Tennessee needs more development from a player like Derrell Scott to provide depth at that position to avoid Jalen Hurd being overworked. DT Dimarya Mixon, DT Michael Sawyers, LB Cortez McDowell, LB Elliott Berry, LB Justin King, LB Kenny Bynum and others are the type of players that UT needs to continue to develop for depth.
