Both teams may be 0-1, but Tennessee football has a lot more to be concerned about on Saturday than the BYU Cougars. And if they are going to right the ship in Jeremy Pruitt’s second season, the Vols need to get ready now.
Part of that involves being aware of what they face. Last week, they were not ready at all for the Georgia State Panthers. That should be a wake-up call for UT, as they get set to face a team with much better talent all over the field.
When Kalani Sitake’s team heads to Neyland Stadium for the first meeting between the two programs Saturday night, he will be bringing with him a team that has lots of experience and plenty of key weapons and returning talent after going 7-6 last year.
