Tennessee football: Can Pruitt mimic former coaches with a season opening win?

The countdown to the start of the Tennessee football season is in single digit days. First-year head coach, Jeremy Pruitt has the opportunity to prove to the nation that he can be a successful head coach in the SEC, the best conference in college football.

It is no secret; he is going to have his hands full. Don’t’ get me wrong there is talent on the 2018 roster. However, the Vols are coming off the worst season in program history. The expectations are not high, but winning his first career game as a head coach could go a long way for his longevity in the league.
