Jeremy Pruitt previews BYU, says quarterback reminds him of Johnny Manziel

Tennessee is faced with the impossible task of putting perhaps the worst lost in program history behind them this week. It was a 38-30 loss to the Georgia State Panthers — a game that wasn’t really even that close late — that has sent this season into a tailspin just one week in.

The road gets a little more difficult this week with the BYU Cougars coming to town. BYU, who sits at 0-1 also after taking a loss to Utah, will be bigger and stronger than Georgia State was last week.

“They had a game last week where they turned the ball over in a rivalry game,” Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt said of BYU.
