Remember 2011. Jim Chaney was offensive coordinator on that team. Jeremy Pruitt was still the Alabama Crimson Tide’s defensive backs coach. But one game from that year wrecked Tennessee football for a decade.
On Saturday, when the Vols face the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, they will be going up against a receiver at quarterback in Lynn Bowden Jr. This comes as UT, at 4-5, is attempting to get to 5-5 and have a real chance to reach a bowl game after a horrendous start.
There are lots of similarities between this situation and what happened back in 2011.
