With a top tier stadium and excellent conference tie-ins, the Belk Bowl will take advantage of this opportunity again.
Southbound and Down crew foresees this kind of match-up, and if Tennessee executes as expected, Charlotte would be an excellent landing spot for the Vols.
Butch Jones has this program headed in the right direction, with 17 starters returning. Joshua Dobbs will lead an offense that returns nine starters, including all three receivers. The defense is vastly improved and can only get better.
UT has all of the tools necessary to turn around Rocky Top’s fortunes. The question is whether the Vols can finally meet expectations.
