Last year, Jeremy Pruitt was adamant about the importance of the running game. It was obvious that he wanted to instill a physical, effective ground game as the backbone of the offense.
Well, that didn’t necessarily happen as the Vols finished with the 113th-best ground game in the country, however, they were able to figure out that running back Ty Chandler is the team’s best playmaker in the backfield - and possibly on the entire offense.
The junior back possess a rare combination of elite speed, elusiveness, receiving ability, and vision. His versatility is hard to match and allows him to line up all over the field in order to find an advantage for the offense.
