Tennessee Volunteers football sits at a crossroads after the Oklahoma loss eliminated playoff hopes. Should Josh Heupel implement a youth movement for the final three games, or keep the veterans fighting for pride and bowl positioning?

Eric Cain breaks down Tennessee's dominant SEC statistical rankings through nine games, including Joey Aguilar leading the conference with 2,737 passing yards and Chris Brazzell’s 808 receiving yards. The discussion examines Tennessee's rushing struggles threatening a four-year streak, addresses fan frustrations with game management decisions, and debates whether Heupel should hire a dedicated clock management coach. Cain tackles listener questions about what the Volunteers are playing for beyond the College Football Playoff, analyzes the three first-half turnovers that cost Tennessee the Oklahoma game, and explains why beating Florida in the Swamp for the first time since 2003 still matters.

Discover why Tennessee's final stretch could define the program's trajectory and which young players deserve increased opportunities against New Mexico State, Vanderbilt, and Florida.
