The pinnacle of the Jeremy Pruitt era came in 2019. Tennessee started 0-2 before rebounding and qualifying for the Gator Bowl, where the Vols rallied to defeat Indiana 23-22 to cap an 8-5 season. We later learned Tennessee's 2019 season was fool's gold. Pruitt flopped in 2020, and Tennessee fired him after the season amid an NCAA investigation into alleged recruiting violations by Pruitt's staff. On this edition of "The Volunteer State," Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's John Adams and Adam Sparks preview UT's game against the Wildcats and how it has shifted toward a game Tennessee should expect to win after UK got thumped by Mississippi State on Saturday.

Can a 28-point loss be a moral victory?  Depends how you look at it. Tennessee football's 52-24 loss to No. 4 Alabama on Saturday was closer for most of the game than the final score indicated. The Vols led 14-7 after one quarter and trailed just 31-24 early in the fourth quarter. On the flip side, Tennessee suffered its 15th straight losses to Alabama, and none of the last six results in this series have been closer to 22 points. On this edition of "The Volunteer State," Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's John Adams and Adam Sparks evaluate Tennessee's performance and debate whether it qualifies as a moral victory.

First-year coach Josh Heupel and his Vols (3-2, 1-1) delivered a beatdown to Heupel's former employer on Saturday in a 62-24 victory. 683 yards. No punts. Intercepted two passes. One massive victory for Tennessee's bowl hopes.  Is Josh Heupel's rebuild of Tennessee football ahead of schedule?

Ryan Callahan joins the show to talk some Vols Football ahead of the game on Saturday against Mizzou

Tennessee fans of a certain age can remember when the Vols-Florida game was the most important regular-season date on the SEC calendar. The rivalry carried major implications for which team would win the SEC. From 1992-01, Florida or Tennessee represented the SEC East in the SEC Championship each year. The stakes aren't the same anymore. Tennessee's last SEC championship was in 1998, and it last won the East in 2007. The Vols' lack of success – both as a whole and within this series – have cheapened this matchup.

This time of year, most college football coaches in America would have you believe that their quarterback competition is wide open.  And many of those coaches would be fibbing. But don't count Tennessee coach Josh Heupel among the truth benders when he suggested at SEC Media Days last week that the job is up for grabs and that the right to be the starter must be earned.  Stay connected on Twitter with Blake (@btoppmeyer) Mike (@ByMikeWilson) and John (@JohnAdamsKNS) and stay up to date on Vols sports news by following @GoVolsXtra.

-News and Notes -Another Commit -Top Transfers

Henry To'o To'o changed sides in the Third Saturday in October rivalry when the former Tennessee football linebacker committed to Alabama on Saturday. As an undergraduate transfer, an SEC intraconference bylaw requires To'o To'o to sit out a season unless he gains a waiver from the conference. However, SEC leaders are expected to review that bylaw in the coming weeks. But even if To'o To'o gains immediate eligibility, will he be a starter for Alabama?

Even in the SEC's pressure cooker, coaches usually enjoy a honeymoon season in Year 1 of a tenure. Expectations usually aren't as lofty, with many fans willing to shift blame for any shortcomings as a failure of the previous coach to leave behind a decent roster. Does Tennessee's Josh Heupel deserve a free pass in his first season?  Stay connected on Twitter with Blake (@btoppmeyer) Mike (@ByMikeWilson) and John (@JohnAdamsKNS) and stay up to date on Vols sports news by following @GoVolsXtra.

Lane Kiffin was the last Tennessee football coach to finish with a winning record in his first season with the Vols. In Kiffin's case, it was his only season at UT. Some Vols fans had hoped Tennessee would pursue bringing Kiffin back when the UT job opened in January. Instead, Tennessee hired Josh Heupel, who went 2-0 against Kiffin while Heupel coached Central Florida and Kiffin was Florida Atlantic's coach. On this episode Blake and John discuss whether Heupel, in his first season at Tennessee, can match the level of success Kiffin had in his first year at Ole Miss.

Some of fans' dream names for the next Tennessee football coach can be crossed off the list. Liberty's Hugh Freeze surely isn't happening, not after what UT System President Randy Boyd said on Tuesday. But what about Coastal Carolina's Jamey Chadwell or Louisiana's Billy Napier? For a successful Group of 5 coach, the risk of inheriting Tennessee's situation could be worth the reward of an SEC job and a sweet pay raise.
