Tennessee football has released its depth chart for its fifth game of the year. For the clash inside Davis Wade Stadium against Mississippi State, the Vols made just a couple of subtle changes. Both Ty Redmond and Colton Hood are now alone as second-stringers at corner. Ethan Davis is now alone as the second-string tight end, as well.

As far as position battles that still remain on the depth chart, the center job has been manned by Sam Pendleton. At right guard, Wendell Moe Jr. flipped sides and Sham Umarov played the left side. Right tackle was played by guard Jesse Perry with David Sanders sidelined. However, UT gets Sanders back vs. MSU, which could shake some things up.

At running back, DeSean Bishop got the first drive in both games. On defense, the only job that has two starters listed is at safety. Edrees Farooq has gotten all of the starts over Kaleb Beasley.
