The Tennessee Volunteers are gearing up for a significant improvement in their week two game against NC State, following a dominant 69-3 win over Chattanooga in week one. Defensive backs coach Willie Martinez emphasized the importance of better alignments, faster pace, and improved communication for the upcoming game. Tennessee is also making strides in recruiting top talents from North Carolina, reinforcing its historical recruiting success in the state. Meanwhile, several college basketball programs are undergoing major transformations for the 2024-25 season. Louisville has revamped its roster under new coach Pat Kelsey after a disappointing previous season. Boston College and Georgia Tech are looking to build on their recent performances with new recruits and returning players. Vanderbilt, under new coach Mark Byington, aims to rebound from a poor last season with a mix of transfers and high school recruits.
