Vols look to win big
Placeholder Image
Don’t look now, Tennessee fans, but the Vols have been picked by wise and trusted members of the media to win the SEC East.This is unfamiliar terrain for long-suffering Vol fans, who have not seen their team picked as preseason favorites for more than a decade. The last time the Vols were picked to win the SEC East was in 2005.For those with long memories, the 2005 season ended horribly for the Vols as they stumbled to a 5-6 record and failed to qualify for a bowl for the first time under legendary coach Phillip Fulmer.The Vols are looking for no such ending to what they hope will be a storybook season. UT finished last year on a six-game winning streak to finish 9-4.
