Summary
GoVols247's Ben McKee and Patrick Brown join forces to preview the start of Tennessee spring football practice and the SEC tournament outlook for the Vols.
The quarterback competition will dominate the storylines when the Vols take the practice field for their sixth spring under head coach Josh Heupel, so what do we need to see from George MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon in the coming weeks?
What other question marks do the Vols need to start answering on offense? On the other side of the football it's a whole new ball game with Jim Knowles & Co. running the show. We'll discuss what Tennessee's new-look defense needs to get done this spring.
For Tennessee basketball, postseason play begins Thursday in the SEC tournament. Ben has the latest on Nate Ament and what Rick Barnes's team must get done in Nashville this week. What can Tennessee gain from a long stay in Nashville?
