2009 TENNESSEE PREVIEW

OFFENSE: The Volunteers struggled on offense last season, ranking 115th in Division I in total offense. New head coach Lane Kiffin brings an offensive background to Knoxville, but the talent level is not up to typical Rocky Top standards. Starting senior Jonathan Crompton is one of only two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster; junior Nick Stephens provide relief. Crompton threw more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four) last season. Freshman B.J. Coleman probably outplayed Crompton in the spring, but left the team after not winning the job (and possibly making it easier for Kiffin to sign a big-name recruit).
