Despite injuries to number of starters on both lines, Tennessee will field two complete teams going head to head on the field. While that would not have been possible to accomplish in recent history, the recruiting efforts of Butch Jones and staff has given the team the luxury of creating depth and developing backups into capable performers on the field.
Here's how the scoring system will be broken down for the spring game:

Tennessee is also expecting a familiar face on campus this weekend for the game:

In case you can't make it to campus, there will be other opportunities for you to catch the conclusion to spring:

Tennessee is considered to be a major sleeper in the SEC this season. If they can display a similar level of improvement in the spring game that they showed in a 45-28 demolition of Iowa in the TaxSlayer Bowl, the hype machine will crank one notch higher entering the long summer offseason.
