Jeremy Pruitt speaks to media ahead of South Carolina – Grant Ramey

Tennessee Vols football head coach Jeremy Pruitt addressed the media ahead of his team’s Saturday match-up at the South Carolina Gamecocks Wednesday. Pruitt addressed a number of personnel matters. He said that Jeremy Banks asked to move to linebacker, discussed moving Carlin Fils-Aime back to running back to keep up depth, and that Trevon Flowers is still probably a couple of weeks away from playing. Dominick Wood-Anderson will be a game-time decision. Meanwhile, he said the Tennessee Vols have been “creating the right habits” in recent weeks. Here’s a bit of what else he said.

"“You see guys practicing with a purpose. I think we’ve improved in three days, which we needed to. There’s only one place for us to go right now and that’s up, and that’s good. If we practice like that every single day, we’re going to continue to improve.”"
