Tennessee to be without starting OL Jashon Robertson vs. UMass

When the Tennessee Volunteers kick off Saturday afternoon’s home game against UMass, they’ll do so with a restructured offensive line.
That’s because starting C Jashon Robertson is being held out of the game with an injury.
DL Shy Tuttle will also miss Saturday afternoon’s game, but both players are likely nearing a return to the field:

It will be interesting to see how Robertson’s absence affects the offensive line, as the center is often responsible for calling out blocking schemes and identifying blitzers.
Star RB John Kelly may find it harder to find running room on Saturday afternoon, too, though tearing through the UMass defense shouldn’t be too difficult, even without Robertson on the field.
