Tennessee’s unimpressive 24-0 win over UTEP didn’t draw rave reviews from head coach Jeremy Pruitt, as you may have expected. One thing the Vols did have going for them on Saturday at Neyland Stadium was a lights out defense, which pitched a shutout.
“Defensively, we didn’t start the game the right way,” Pruitt said. “Way too many runners that are falling forward. To me, I thought we controlled the quarterback a little bit better as the game went.”
But then Pruitt changed his tone and pointed towards a key stat that he says has to change for the Vols to be successful.
