Personally, I don't think the passing will be a problem at all and could actually be a great deal better then last year. I am not sure that the rushing stats will be a major concern either as long as Kelly stays healthy and Chandler is as good as advertised. Tennessee was a respectable #45 in the country for sacks per game, but other than Barnett, there wasn't a ton of production. I think the Vols have a better coach and some talent along the D Line and could keep that stat consistent.
The biggest stat that must be improved is the tackles by DBs. The one non-DB in the top five tacklers was Colton Jumper. For the Vols to be successful, that Stat must change in 2017.
