"Daune Morris looked so good against Georgia Tech on Saturday."

I absolutely agree. He was electric when hitting the hole and is too fast for others to keep up with. I believe that Morris could be someone who rises in the role that he has, as I believe he is worthy enough to be a big time back, and someone who rushes the ball as the No. 2 running back. One could argue that he might even be the No. 2 running back in terms of talent.

2. Who Do You Need to See More From?

"Hey Vols on SI, who do you need to see more from?"

I will give you two names, one on offense and the other on defense. On offense, I want to see more from DaSaahn Brame. He was one of the players I believed would have a breakout season, and he still could, but I would like to see his usage rate go up within the next two weeks. In terms of the defensive side of the ball, I want to see more of Jadon Perlotte. I feel like he hasn't been used as much, which is partially due to the number of players that Tennessee has at linebacker. I would love to see him have some more reps at linebacker with the Vols this week.

3. Faizon Brandon's Performance

"I aksed you last week, but do you feel Faizon played well?"

Welcome back to the network. Yes, I do feel he played well. It may not be the prettiest stat sheet, but when it comes to working on the road and everything that he provided, I feel that Brandon passed the test.

4. Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech Fans

"Tennessee packed that stadium out. Just goes to show that Tennessee fans can't be messed with."

Yeah, I would say that there were plenty of Tennessee fans there. Don't sleep on the Georgia Tech fan base; they put up a good fight, but I would say that it was 50/50 at best from what I saw.

5. Tennessee vs. Kennesaw State Predictions

"What's your prediction on Tennessee vs. Kennesaw State?"

That article will come out later in the week, but I will tell you this much: I believe the Vols win by a healthy amount.
