It’s officially game week and that means Tennessee released its inaugural depth for the 2023 season Monday afternoon following his press conference.
There weren’t many surprises in the season’s opening depth chart but a few minor ones.
In what’s become a tradition across all of college football, Tennessee’s depth chart included 16 “ORs” as the Vols’ coaches opted not to talk in definitives. Ten of the 16 “ORs” came in the starting lineup.
