Tennessee Football 2019 State of the Position: Running Backs

With Jeremy Pruitt and the Tennessee staff likely done at the running back position for 2019, the Vols’ backfield picture is pretty clear. They’ll return the two main contributors on the roster, while adding a big time freshman to the equation.

Tennessee’s run game struggles were largely a product of a struggling offensive line in 2018.

Still, through that struggle, Tim Jordan and Ty Chandler established themselves as two of the top playmakers on the team.
