Tennessee football: Spring game suggests Vols defense a repeat of 2012

After everything we heard Jeremy Pruitt say throughout spring practice and reports from the multiple scrimmages, the worst fears of Tennessee football came to fruition in Saturday’s spring game. The Vols look to be in serious trouble on defense.

We wrote about this issue at length during spring practice. Jeremy Pruitt kept either praising the offense or ripping the defense after practices, and it became a major point of alarm.

Our first post at the end of March questioned whether or not this was a concern since the offense is usually behind the defense this time of year.
