Naturally, all eyes were on the offense on Saturday afternoon during the Orange and White game. Rightfully so — being that Tennessee ranked nearly dead last in total offense in 2017. Fans wanted to see what improvements Tyson Helton could make.

Defensive Notes
The White defense (1st-teamers) played quite a bit more with four down lineman than expected.
