Here are the biggest questions for the Tennessee football Volunteers.
Welcome to the final weekend before Tennessee football kicks off fall camp. The Vols will take the practice field with Jeremy Pruitt on Monday for the first time since the spring, when they snuck in a couple of practices right before coronavirus shut everything down.
Obviously, things will be much different as they get things started. The massive levels of uncertainty surrounding the season due to COVID-19 hangs over the start of the preseason. UT and other SEC schools will have five weeks of practices and 25 practices before the league officially begins its all-conference 10-game schedule on Sept. 26.
There are tons of storylines to get to surrounding the personnel of Tennessee football, and throughout the preseason we’ll be touching on all of them. However, in the abstract, people are focused on lots of other things right now.
Against this backdrop, we’re going to do our best to bring you the biggest questions facing Rocky Top right now as Pruitt begins fall camp. Questions about a team always exist when the preseason kicks off, and this year is no different.
However, unlike previous years, the questions for this team are on a much more massive scale. We can’t sit here and pretend that coronavirus had a major impact on what we listed as the program’s biggest storylines for the season.
A few other transitional things also exist, including questions that should have been answered in the spring, but the pandemic itself is having a huge impact on everything we discuss. It’s simply impossible to ignore.
So just how far-reaching is this issue? What are other things to wonder about heading into the year? Well, in a cloud of uncertainty, it’s time for us to bring all of those to you the best we can. These are Tennessee football’s five biggest questions heading into fall camp.
