Linebacker depth big issue for Vols again

Lathers is out at least through the start of the season, so there's really no choice for UT other than to move on, or back to where they've already been.

"I wouldn't say the freshmen have pressure on them, they're coming in here and they're going to have to step up and play," Propst said. "We're young, and from the linebackers' standpoint, they've done a great job so far. The future looks bright and they're really doing a good job, but we'll see this fall. I think we'll learn a little bit more once we put the pads on and everything, but I don't think they really have much pressure on them. They just need to get out there and have fun and compete and play.

"It's another hole we've got to fill. It happens, and somebody has to step up."
