GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Patrick Brown and Grant Ramey went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down the state of Tennessee football heading into Saturday's game at 21st-ranked Auburn.

Tennessee had an open date after its Sept. 29 loss at second-ranked Georgia, giving the Vols an extra week of work to sort of some of their own issues and get a head start on Auburn's unique offense — something that SEC West teams have gotten used to seeing in recent years, and something Tennessee's current staff has seen a lot, but something that Tennessee's current players haven't seen.

First-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt said his Vols took advantage of the open date, but how much can you really change schematically in one week? You can't reinvent the wheel in that amount of time, but you can tweak some things, and that's certainly something Tennessee has done.

What changes could the Vols make, though? Will they try some drastically different things, or just add a few different things while refining the same basic formula? And what should we expect to see from Tennessee against an Auburn team that was expected to compete for championships but has already lost two games, including last week at Mississippi State? And is it possible to think Tennessee could win this game and avoid extending its program-program-record SEC losing streak to a dirty dozen games?

That — along with some injury updates, general tomfoolery and the announcement of the new Grant's Gun Show Question of the Week — is the main focus of this episode.
