OFFENSE
1. WR Marquez Callaway: 82.1 (28 snaps)
2. G Riley Locklear: 79.1 (59 plays)
3. WR Jeff George: 76.1 (26 plays)
4. WR Malik Elion: 72.8 (one play)
5. WR Thomas Orradre: 72.5 (two plays)
6. RB Carlin Fils-aime: 71.4 (four plays)
7. T/G Trey Smith: 70.6 (59 plays)
8. QB Jarrett Guarantano: 70.3 (59 plays)
9. WR Brandon Johnson: 69.5 (26 plays)
10. RB John Kelly: 68.0 (49 plays)
11. TE Ethan Wolf: 65.0 (52 plays)
12. TE Eli Wolf: 64.2 (three plays)
13. WR Tyler Byrd: 54.5 (six plays)
14. WR Jordan Murphy: 50.3 (21 plays)
15. T Joe Keeler: 48.2 (23 plays)
16. RB Tim Jordan: 47.0 (seven plays)
17. WR Josh Palmer: 46.6 (41 plays)
18. TE Jakob Johnson: 42.7 (29 plays)
19. T Devante Brooks: 37.4 (59 plays)
20. C Jashon Robertson: 33.2 (36 plays)
21. G/C Ryan Johnson: 28.0 (59 plays)
NOTES: Smith (82.4) and Locklear (81.9) received the highest pass-blocking grades on Tennessee's offensive line, though Smith's run-blocking grade (38.1) was poor. Walk-on right tackle Keeler graded higher as a run-blocker (69.8) than a pass-blocker (42.5), and only Locklear and Ethan Wolf had higher run-blocking grades. Brooks struggled after a high grade (74.1) at Missouri.
Guarantano's grade was the seventh-highest among SEC quarterbacks, which is noteworthy given he was playing at less than 75 percent on a bad ankle that severely limited his mobility.
Byrd has played 26 snaps in the past three games, while Fils-aime has played only 11 snaps.
Kelly (41.0 to 68.0), George (46.2 to 76.1) and Locklear (48.6 to 79.1) made the biggest jumps from last week.
Robertson and Callaway both suffered injuries and did not return to the game.
DEFENSE
1. S Nigel Warrior: 82.1 (58 plays)
2. LB Elliott Berry: 78.6 (seven plays)
3. DT Kendal Vickers: 78.0 (53 plays)
4. DE Jonathan Kongbo: 77.7 (30 plays)
5. DT Kahlil McKenzie: 76.6 (22 plays)
6. DE Darrell Taylor: 76.2 (44 plays)
7. S Micah Abernathy: 72.5 (37 plays)
8. CB Justin Martin: 72.4 (47 plays)
9. NK Rashaan Gaulden: 71.2 (44 plays)
10. DT Alexis Johnson: 69.4 (15 plays)
11. DT Shy Tuttle: 69.2 (22 plays)
12. CB Baylen Buchanan: 65.9 (11 plays)
13. LB Will Ignont: 64.7 (three plays)
14. CB Emmanuel Moseley: 61.3 (34 plays)
15. LB Dillon Bates: 59.6 (one play)
16. DE Matthew Butler: 53.1 (10 plays)
17. LB Daniel Bituli: 47.7 (55 plays)
18. LB Colton Jumper: 47.7 (38 plays)
19. LB Quart'e Sapp: 47.0 (53 plays)
20. CB Shaq Wiggins: 42.2 (24 plays)
21. DE Kyle Phillips: 40.8 (41 plays)
NOTES: Warrior (85.7), Vickers (82.3), Moseley (80.0) and McKenzie (79.1) received the highest run-defense grades against an opponent in LSU that ran the ball 43 times.
The Tigers' more traditional style explains the low snap count for Berry, who the Vols have used in passing situations throughout the season. The high snap counts for Bituli, Jumper and Sapp are indicative of how often Tennessee was in its 4-3 defense. Gaulden played some safety, but still played what likely was his lowest snap-count of the season.
Tennessee's starting defensive backs aside from Moseley all graded in the mid-70s in pass coverage, while Kongbo (77.7) and Taylor (76.1) received solid pass-rushing grades and Tuttle (71.6) and Johnson (71.3) were solid in run defense.
Kongbo and McKenzie both suffered injuries in the game and did not return.
