This week, we take a sneak peek at the running back position for the Tennessee Volunteers football team.

This years’ team is known as “team 119.” This year marks the 119th year for Tennessee Volunteers football.

Last season, Jalen Hurd was a freshman with very high expectations. Hurd lived up to those expectations for the most part. With a new patchwork offensive line, Hurd had a solid season. He ran for right around 900 yards, and had a handful of touchdowns.
