If you read only one thing about the Vols today . . .

. . . make it this, from WNML’s Jimmy Hyams:

Some of this has already been reported/addressed, but I find the comments about the team’s somewhat-fragile psyche interesting. I think they’re in the right hands, and it might also explain in part Pruitt’s subtle change in tone from spring to fall. Pure speculation on my part, but an interesting dynamic regardless.
