Some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear eats you. "Welcome to the SEC" moment for BM. Let's see what he learned from it. Be nice if HB had a year to bulk up and get used to the talent and speed at this level.
IMO, Pruitt's trying too hard to not show any emotion in the PC's. I get it; this is a new thing for him. I also think he's likely losing a lot of sleep trying to figure out what to do. Unfortunately, the only answer is recruiting. There's a lot of "quit when you get punched" on this roster. Gotta weed it out, and replace it with "That's all you got?"
Building quality, and depth, on the OL and DL is critical. Until UT does, they will never contend in the SEC, or SEC East, against the likes of Bama, UGA, and UF. Saban and Smart get it. You win, or lose, in the trenches. Pruitt gets it as well, he just doesn't have the widebutts at this point. Once those lines improve, everything will get better in a hurry. You can only do so much with a mule at the Kentucky Derby.
Rest assured, if Pruitt ever gets the chance for payback, he'll take it. Doubt if we'd whine about that one.
Go Vols.
