KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A cool breeze blew through Neyland Stadium on a recent Saturday. Dozens of recruits in town for a junior day were being ferried back to the football complex so coaches could make their hard sells to come to Tennessee. On the field, players recovered from a scrimmage and mingled with their parents and siblings on family day. The Tennessee students who had come to watch their team practice were dispersing to enjoy the remainder of a sunny afternoon. The speakers boomed a song that matched the mood, but that tune's title offered an inescapable reminder of what the Volunteers have worked for.
Can Tennessee exorcise past demons?
