You know the guys overcame hard. They played hard in the game and we were physical, so I'm really proud of our team in terms of what they were able to do here today. So, we got a lot of things we need to get better at, but it's a great team win for us."

  • Tennessee Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt Opening Statement…
    Tennessee 17, No. 2 Alabama 48 October 24, 2020 | Knoxville, Tenn. | Neyland Stadium Tennessee Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt Opening Statement… “Looking at the game, I thought offensively it was one of the better games we played. We did have one turnover for a touchdown, which is inexcusable. But we started running the ball at times pretty well, and I thought we protected pretty well for the most part, but just didn’t have the time of possession Alabama had, which goes back to the defense about getting off the field and being more stout in the run game and getting off the field on third down. It’s just what I told the players in there, I see a lot of guys that are trying really hard, but we’re making mistakes. And as coaches and players, we’ve got to go back and be able to execute at a higher level. A lot of guys were playing really hard, we just made mistakes in the game as far as over routes and giving up explosive plays like that. We have always been pretty good about not doing that and haven’t given up many this year, but today we did, and it’s tough to stop those guys when they start on the play action passes and being able to throw the overs. You’ve got to be able to do one or the other, whether it’s stop the run or stop passes, so it doesn’t make it so tough to defend. We have to get off the field on third down.
