Tennessee football: Vols should follow through with Jeremy Pruitt’s joke

Kevin Kelley is the head coach. Pulaski Academy is the school. Little Rock, Ark. is the location. And Tennessee football should adopt exactly what he does when they face the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

Earlier this week, Jeremy Pruitt mentioned Kelley’s coaching style as a way to beat Alabama. Kelley is known for never punting and always doing onside kicks. It was a joke, but honestly, Pruitt should follow through with it.

Punting has already long been an overused play in the sport of football. Benjamin Norris, who eventually became a writer at FiveThirtyEight, broke down on an old website, Skeptical Sports Analysis, how overused it is on this page.
