TENNESSEE

› Spring-game recap: Inclement weather shortened the Orange and White Game to one half on April 22, but junior quarterback Quinten Dormady made the most of his time by completing 10 of 10 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns before an announced crowd of 35,000. Dormady also delighted fans in the skills challenge by hitting a cardboard cutout of receiver Jauan Jennings to successfully re-enact the Hail Mary that Josh Dobbs produced in last year’s win at Georgia. Tight end Ethan Wolf had three receptions for 28 yards in the spring game, including a 19-yard touchdown. Defensively, sophomore safety Nigel Warrior, an All-SEC Freshman selection last season, was praised by coach Butch Jones for having “as fine a spring” as any player he’s had during his five seasons in Knoxville.

› Moving forward: Jones offered no timetable in naming Dormady or Jarrett Guarantano as the starting quarterback, and tailback John Kelly will be eager to make his mark after sitting out the spring game. Kelly recently told the SEC Network that he believes there isn’t a better running back in the conference. The Volunteers could have their top offensive line of the Jones era, but obviously a lot of talent has to be replaced throughout the roster. Jones has posted consecutive 9-4 seasons and just had six players selected in the NFL draft, so the biggest question now is whether the accomplishments of the past two seasons can be sustained.

› Opener: Sept. 4 against Georgia Tech in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The game will be televised in prime time by ESPN, but the kickoff time has not been announced.
