The main thing that scares me about this game is even though TN doesn't have a good defense (most starters are back for 2023) they are best at stopping teams that rely on their running game and have QBs that aren't threats to run much. They were the 2nd best rushing defense to GA in the SEC but were the worst pass defense except for Vandy last season. They bring the heat a lot with LB blitzes etc. Last year we had a bunch of yards but it was mostly Richardson with the RBs not getting much at all.

My biggest concern on offense is the O-line giving Mertz time to pass, like you said, he is not a big run threat for sure. If they give him time, he is accurate enough to complete some passes. On obvious passing downs, to get the ball out quicker and assist the line, stop running play action fakes. They are not fooling anybody and make the line hold their blocks longer. Offensive play calling 101.
