Summary

GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Ryan Callahan and Patrick Brown went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down some reasons why the Tennessee football team might exceed expectations in its first season under coach Jeremy Pruitt. Media who cover one team on a consistent basis can at times seem a bit jaded and focus so much on a team's weaknesses rather than its strengths, and that's a natural feeling when you really think about it. But with the start of preseason camp less than a month away, we threw all that aside for at least one week to examine some reasons why Tennessee might not be quite to bad, after all. We discussed a few other things in this episode, including former Vols wide receiver Josh Smith opening up about the frustrations he had with coach Butch Jones, one former Tennessee star perhaps trolling Jones a bit on social media and a recruiting update from Callahan, but the bulk of this long episode is spent walking on the sunny side of the street.
