What was the year that we literally stopped even trying to fair catch punts, for fear of dropping them?
It was one of the Dooley years. Ended up putting Ant Anderson back there and he fair caught everything. The very next year Devrin Young rode into Neyland to save us.
Pretty hilarious story in the Athletic about Saban showing up to his staff meeting not knowing Dan Enos had bailed.
Did we recover one this year? Honest question. Feel like Pruitt called some great attempts, kick was executed well, just can’t remember actually getting the ball on any of them.
They were all great kicks. I was consistently surprised by how on the money they were. But consistently not surprised that the other teams recovered them, because Tennessee.
Not going to lie, I thought the kid would take one to the house before he graduated. Not against any stiff competition, but against a GO5 or FCS school.
Made him watch all 11 players on Maryville's defense wiff on him his senior year in high school. If he wasn't on that Bearden team I'm not sure they would have won a game.
