GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Patrick Brown and Ryan Callahan went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down the good, the bad, the ugly and the fugly from Tennessee's season-opening, 40-14 loss to then-17th-ranked West Virginia in Charlotte.

As much as everyone in and around the Tennessee program would love to flush that season-opening cow pie and forget it forever, the fact is the Vols play East Tennessee State and UTEP the next two Saturdays, so it'll be a few weeks before they face another quality opponent — SEC Eastern Division rival Florida.

Some things actually did go well in Jeremy Pruitt's first game at Tennessee, and those things are discussed in this episode. Obviously there's more bad than good to break down following a 40-14 loss, though, and that bad also is broken down in this episode.

Can Tennessee's offense get explosive? Can Tennessee's defense stop making opponents look so explosive?

How many of the mistakes from Saturday's loss are correctable in the immediate future? How many of them will take longer?

And what, exactly, is chicken skin?

Those and other pressing topics — including some fun facts about East Tennessee State University — are included in this episode.
