All but one position unit for Tennessee football this year returns the majority of its starters, and in most cases, everybody is back. That could be good or bad news for Jeremy Pruitt considering it also means the Vols return a lot of players who could only go 5-7 in 2018.
However, the hope on Rocky Top is that improved health, more experience in the pro-style and 3-4, and the additions of Derrick Ansley and Jim Chaney will mean much greater success for 2019. After all, there’s no denying that Pruitt inherited a mess last year.
