Tennessee football: Five biggest reasons for Vols turnaround this season

What changed for Tennessee football? At one point, they were completely written off. Things started off horrible with a home loss to the Georgia State Panthers. It got worse the next week with a late collapse to result in a home loss to the BYU Cougars.

At that point, 1-11 was on the table, with their one win coming the next week over the Chattanooga Mocs. But then one look at their schedule showed it would get worse before getting better, and that range true with back to back blowout losses to the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs to send Jeremy Pruitt’s second team to 1-4.
