Butch Jones expects Tennessee offensive line to be at full health against South Carolina
Tennessee’s injury epidemic has indiscriminately struck nearly every part of coach Butch Jones’ roster.
Fortunately for the Vols, one position group is on the mend.
Butch Jones says every offensive lineman should be available for the South Carolina game following the bye weekend

Seven offensive linemen — including starters Brett Kendrick, Dylan Wiesman and Jashon Robertson — have gone down with injuries at some point this season, forcing Jones to constantly shuffle players within that position group. But the open date this Saturday gives Tennessee an extra week to get healed up before traveling to South Carolina on Oct. 29.
Jones found a slim silver lining in the situation — the reps gained by backups should help the team down the stretch, he said during Wednesday’s SEC coaches teleconference.
Until the 2nd series
This just in, Team 121 to play against South Carolina.
This makes me happy, fingers crossed for those guys they deserve some love!
If only we’d have been full strength last week, them bammers wouldn’t have stood a chance. We’ll get them in December for sure! Team 120 for Heisman!
Tennessee is an average SEC East team at best. They are a couple of plays away from being 3-3 right now (Georgia and Appalachian State).
Just wait until next year ya’ll will be Number One for sure.
This guy gets it.
5-2 isn’t average. If we are only a few plays away from 3-3, then we are also a few plays away from 6-1. As UK knows, 3-3 is average.
I think the biggest threat at this point is vandy after that Missouri than s c and k y are about tied Florida will lose at least one game maybe Georgia they are probably gonna play pissed but you can’t count out any team it’ll bite you hard I haven’t been able to watch much but I keep up as much as I can on ads
