Truly thought Tennessee was past the place in Jeremy Pruitts third season where getting blown in the house by Kentucky was even a remote possibility.

Jeremy Pruitts stock was crazy high two weeks back. 2 unsportsmanlike charges in as numerous series on the Vols, consisting of a kick to the crotch.
Whatever Jarrett Guarantano has on Jeremy Pruitt most likely makes the Steele Dossier appear like a kindergarten progress report.

Not how winners act.
Alarming lack of discipline.

If anyone in the Tennessee program ever for one reservation this team was too skilled for something like this to take place, that would be an indefensible level of foolishness.
