Absolutely no one in Knoxville is happy with the 47-21 loss to the Florida Gators on Saturday night. It doesn’t change the commitment to Jeremy Pruitt or the team, but it provides quite the gut check for those thinking that the team would at least make it close for four quarters.
After blowout losses, fans typically look for a rational explanation. Perhaps it was the coaches being completely unprepared? Maybe it was the refs shifting momentum with bogus calls? There has to be an obvious and tangible source of bad play, right?
The truth is, football doesn’t work that way.
