After cancelling his Wednesday night press conference, Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt was back at the podium on Thursday afternoon. Pruitt was fresh off of seeing his team’s first padded practice and gave his thoughts on where they are at currently.
“We had our first day in pads yesterday — lots of good lots of bad,” Pruitt began. “Really inconsistent, lots of lessons to be learned. You know we’ve got some guys that play with toughness, but they don’t do it all the time. So they show that they can do it, but if you’re gonna be a great player and have a great team, you better have a tough football team.
