Josh Pate, UT Sports Information
Josh McNeil has made 35 consecutive starts at center for Tennessee - more than anybody on the team - yet he knows nothing is safe.
McNeil was listed evenly with senior Cody Sullins on the depth chart going into fall drills, although Sullins has appeared in only five games. Such is life under a new offensive system and coaching staff. And McNeil is no stranger to a blank slate.
The senior is working on his third offensive blocking scheme in the last three years, and the intensity level is sky high. No problem for McNeil, either. On his iPod before putting on the uniform is the hard rock group Shinedown to set the table for practice. It keeps McNeil at an electric pace before he walks onto Haslam Field.
