After a strong finish to 2019 to offset a slow start, everybody is excited about the future of Tennessee football under Jeremy Pruitt. Going 8-5 and not finishing in the top 25 is not the overall goal of Vol fans, but it’s a start to boost their morale.
Of course, that strong finish did not propel them into the top 25 at the end of the year. That’s one drawback. However, Even if the goal is to compete for championships and finish in the top 10, UT can still have some enjoyable seasons when they don’t finish ranked.
