It looks like we finally have a decision on the fate of the 2020 football season. The SEC has officially decided that the conference will proceed with a 10 game, conference-only schedule. College football will happen in some capacity for the fall of 2020. With that being said, let’s start examining the 2020 Tennessee Volunteers on paper in preparation for the season. For the first time in many years, the Vols return their offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and head coach from the previous year. The consistency of the coaching staff should help player development this offseason. Still, there were still several departures that lead to questions that must be answered. We will take a look at these questions by position group in an ongoing series. Up first, let’s look at the position groups on offense. Here is our preview of the quarterback situation for Tennessee Volunteers headed into 2020.<\/p>\n
It is only fitting that we kick this series off with perhaps the most discussed position group for the 2020 Volunteers. It is no secret that subpar quarterback play has plagued the Vols in the past three seasons. Redshirt Senior quarterback, Jarrett Guarantano<\/a><\/strong>, has been perhaps the most polarizing player for the Vols in the last decade. Fans seem to have a love-hate relationship with the veteran signal-caller. His attitude, selflessness, and commitment to the university have won him some fan respect. However, bad decision making and inconsistent play have led others to question if he has the tools to help this offense reach their potential. The former five-star recruit has not lived up to the billing, but he did return for his senior year to right a few wrongs. He obviously believes he will get that chance.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa: @BroadwayJay2 \ud83e\udd81 pic.twitter.com\/CooZMtzXRW<\/a><\/p>\n — Tennessee Football (@Vol_Football) July 19, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
