The Tennessean Smokes Pruitt and Tennessee's Lack of Effort Saturday
« on: October 18, 2020, 09:25:15 AM »

Pruitt’s wistful memory contrasted sharply with reality in Knoxville. Saturday exposed the Vols as a pretender and showed — despite what you’ve heard — that the program ascending closer to SEC East contention plays in Lexington, not Knoxville.

Yup, the Vols folded, perhaps as far back as the play Pruitt harped on afterward. Kentucky’s second pick-six of the second quarter was by Jamin Davis, a 234-pound inside linebacker who somehow sprinted 85 yards through Tennessee’s offense.

Plenty of scholarship players in orange on the field, but no Towns. "Where's the offensive players to get the guy on the ground?" Pruitt said.

The listless nature of Saturday’s defeat — encapsulated by that moment — was an indictment of everyone associated with the Vols, including Pruitt, whose progress with this program has taken a large step back in the past six quarters of football.

The more Pruitt has closed Tennessee’s talent gap, the more that intangible qualities — desire, work ethic, attention to detail — are becoming reasons why the Vols aren't farther along.

With Pruitt in Year 3, it's not an encouraging picture. He has had time to instill that Alabama-type culture at Tennessee. But this is not a disciplined, focused, tough team.


Pruitt shouldn’t have a soft team this far into his Vols tenure. Judging by Saturday’s game, though, he does.

He's a Trojan Horse.

Sad really.   It's total lack of interest on the players part. Well I saw a few trying.  They have been cheated
