Tennessee College Football 2024 Preview: What’s the Situation?

Josh Heupel has us thinking 9-4 was a ‘bad” season after their 11-2 mark in ’22.  There’s plenty of optimism offensively, but some very real concern defensively.  Let’s unpack the roster heading into ’24.

2024 Tennessee NCAAF AREAS TO WATCH:

The Vols are very high on redshirt freshmen QB Iamaleava (28-45 last year, solid in bowl vs. Iowa).  The rest of the offense seems about the same, but RB depth is a big worry.  WR Squirrel White (165 pounds) is one of my favorites. 

The defense lost its top six tacklers.  The top two returnees each had just 35 tackles.  The secondary needs to be completely rebuilt.  Last year the run D excelled at 3.5-122.  I like the DT’s, so perhaps they can stay near that range. 

The pass D was already high, at 67%, although points allowed wasn’t bad at all.  I think the points allowed rises this season.  There’s internal concern about the PK’s on board.  That’s obviously a must watch area.  


Tennessee Football 2024 Predicted Total Wins Prediction

 7-1 if they avoid any sort of upset, with games vs. NC St (60%), at Oklahoma (40+%), Florida (60+%) and Alabama (55%) pending. 

Like a number of SEC teams, that gives them a shot at the playoffs.  9-3 is probably the safest prediction.  I think this team has more questions (QB, RB, DB, PK) than answers, but the schedule layout is an asset.

Tennessee 2024 football predictions

2024 Tennessee Football Schedule and Games to Watch

On 9/7 the Vols play North Carolina St in Charlotte.  That’s a good game to chart, both with how the QB fares as well as what’s happening with the defense and kicking game.  Head Coach Heupel was Oklahoma’s QB in 1999 and 2000. 

He also coached there.  He returns on 9/21.  A well-placed bye is next, so there will not be a letdown when they stay on the road to face Arkansas.  Home games follow vs. Florida (revenge game) and Alabama.  They stay relevant if they split the four games listed above.  Having a bye week after the Alabama game is another stroke of very good fortune. 

They led the Tide 20-7 a year ago, and if they finish the deal this year, 7-2 is possible before they head to Georgia.  Tennessee is 14-3 SU at Vanderbilt.  As long as there is a shot at making the playoffs, that should continue.  If not, this game won’t get Tennessee’s full attention.  

Tennessee Volunteers 2024 Football Expert HANDICAPPING TIP

I am considering backing them 10/19 vs. Alabama and 11/9 vs. Mississippi St, but will be open to going against them if the stat sheet does falter, which could happen with some concerns for ’24.
