Before the start of Illinois football's training camp on Aug. 2 in Champaign, beat writer Bob Asmussen is counting down the Top 50 teams heading into the 2019 college football season:
No. 46: Tennessee
Coach: Jeremy Pruitt
2018 record: 5-7
Projected 2019 record: 8-4
Circle the date: Oct. 19 at Alabama
Bowl trip: Birmingham
Why No. 46: The Vols got off to a rough start in Pruitt's first season. They might want to put some of the blame on previous coach Butch Jones.
