Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt made a puzzling comparison to describe Jordan Murphy and Terrell Bailey's departures following the Volunteers' shocking loss to Georgia State in the opening week.

During an appearance in front of the Knoxville Quarterback Club on Monday, Pruitt referenced Titanic, which was released in 1997, and said he thought of the movie as Tennessee embarked on its nightmare start.

"When the boat starts going down, remember all those mice running to the top, right?" he said, per the Knoxville News Sentinel's Mike Wilson.
