In more ways than one, Tennessee entered the modern era of college football this offseason. Gone are Phillip Fulmer and Jeremy Pruitt, in are Danny White and Josh Heupel. The duo comes north from UCF, where they were able to experience continued success in Orlando. They now have a much tougher task ahead.
When you think about what Heupel’s offense looks like, the 2018-2020 Tennessee offense might just be the polar opposite. The old pro-style, I-formation looks complete with ultra-conservative play-calling didn’t get Jeremy Pruitt very far, and his staff’s inability to find or develop a quarterback was absolutely maddening.
