Tennessee football: First-team defensive line a bright spot for Vols defense

Everybody with eyes saw how bad Tennessee football’s first-team defense was in Saturday’s Orange and White game. The Vols got torched on the ground and by Jarrett Guarantano through the air. There are clearly issues for them to work out overall.

However, by and large, those issues remain on the back seven. The secondary was largely at fault for what happened with linebackers making mistakes as well. At least with the first-team, though, the defensive line is one major bright spot for the team.

Perhaps it was because of all the injuries on the offensive line.
