If not now, when?

That's the big 2016 question for the Tennessee Vols when it comes to winning the SEC Eastern Division. Seventeen starters are back and the rest of the division is full of questions.

The Vols have one last chance to showcase their stuff before the offseason on Saturday:

1. Play at wide receiver: Having Joshua Dobbs back at quarterback and arguably the SEC's most dynamic rushing duo with Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara really does give Tennessee quite the backfield attack. But what about the guys on the perimeter? The injury bug has ravaged this team as a whole, and they've felt the pain at receiver. The Vols just lost Jauan Jennings and Vincent Perry for the rest of spring, and Josh Malone was ruled out before spring practice even started. Even Josh Smith has been banged up, but coach Butch Jones expects him to play in Saturday's spring game. This is a relatively new group for Dobbs to work with, so injuries will make it tough to build true continuity this weekend. However, keep an eye on sophomore Preston Williams, who might be the most talented receiver on the roster, and junior college transfer Jeff George, who is a giant target for Dobbs at 6-foot-6. Word out of Knoxville is that the light has really turned on for Williams, and he's been one of the team's most impressive players this spring. Jason Croom isn't a receiver anymore, but the converted tight end could be a fun mismatch on the field to watch Saturday.

2. Drew Richmond at left tackle: After failing to log a snap last year, Richmond will get to show everyone what he can do at left tackle this Saturday. With longtime left tackle Kyler Kerbyson gone, the Vols watched Richmond and Dontavius Blair battle for most of the spring at the most important position along the offensive line. Richmond has really grown up this spring and impressed coaches with not just his physical play, but his mental adjustments. Richmond admits to losing some confidence last year, and he believes he regained that during the spring. With an offensive line that has dealt with injuries this spring, Richmond will be the focal point of this position. And with the defensive speed the Vols have on the outside, Richmond will get a lot of work. But don't forget about Blair. He's had a good spring and will get a chance to show off as well.

3. Dobbs' downfield passing ability: The linchpin of Tennessee's entire team, Dobbs is looking to prove that he can indeed stand in the pocket and throw the ball well downfield. He only completed 17 passes of 25-plus yards last season, which ranked 10th among SEC quarterbacks. Sometimes, that wasn't all on Dobbs. A solid running game -- No. 2 in the SEC to be exact -- meant that Dobbs didn't have to throw the ball a lot late in games (118 second-half completions) and the Vols didn't need to extend the field as much. Dobbs was known more for his rushing ability last season (he led all SEC quarterbacks with 671 rushing yards), but his passing ability has come under criticism. Dobbs is out to show that he isn't just a one-trick, running pony. Expect the coaches to let Dobbs chuck the ball at will to not only excite the crowd, but get Dobbs even more confidence throwing the ball.
