Jeremy Pruitt is Running Out of Excuses

At some point, you cannot explain away a loss.

At some point, a program becomes yours, and you own up to everything that happens when those cleats touch the field.

At some point, you cannot decry a fanbase for not showing up when you don’t either.

We are in the first two games of Jeremy Pruitt’s second year as head coach of Tennessee, and it feels like it’s 2017 all over again. Why?

The obvious answer is the 0-2 start. The worst loss in program history to Georgia State is one hell of a way to being 2019, and losing an absolute meltdown to BYU is just the icing on the cake.
