PRUITT ERA BEGINS• HEAD COACHING DEBUT: Saturday’s matchup with West

Virginia will mark Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt’s first game as a head coach.

• ELITE RESUME: Prior to being named the 26th head coach in Tennessee football history on Dec. 7, 2017, Pruitt established himself as one of the top defensive coordi-nators in the country during stops at Alabama (2016-17), Georgia (2014-15) and Florida State (2013).

• LEADER OF HISTORIC DEFENSES: In five seasons as a defensive coordinator, Pruitt’s defenses have finished No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense three times (2013, 2016, 2017), ranked No. 1 in total defense twice (2016, 2017) and led the nation in rush defense (2016, 2017) and pass de-fense (2013, 2015) twice each.

• RELEVANT RECORDS: Since becoming a coordinator in 2013, Pruitt’s defenses have been stifling. His teams went 23-6 against ranked opponents with three shutouts, 5-0 in season-openers and 2-0 at Bank of America Stadium.

SMITH RACKS UP HONORS• STELLAR FRESHMAN SEASON: Tennessee offensive line-

man Trey Smith burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2017, starting all 12 games and becoming the first Vol true freshman to start at left tackle in over 30 years. Smith’s efforts were recognized, as he was named a Freshman All-American by the FWAA and 247Sports.

• PRESEASON HYPE: Smith has also garnered his fair share of preseason buzz. The Jackson, Tenn., native was named to the Preseason All-SEC First Team by the media and coaches, as well as the Outland Trophy Watch List.

SEASON OPENING NEUTRAL SITE GAMES• UNBEATEN: Tennessee is 5-0-1 all-time in season-open-

ing neutral site games, dating back to the 1987 season opener.

• RARE BIG 12 MATCHUP: The Belk Kickoff Classic against West Virginia will mark the second time that the Vols have faced a Big 12 opponent in a season-opening neutral site game. Tennessee faced off against eventual nation-al champion Colorado (now a member of the Pac-12) to open the 1990 season in Anaheim, Calif.

• West Virginia went 7-6 in 2017, finishing the season with a 30-14 loss to Utah in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl. The Mountaineers began the year 7-3 before losing their final three games by an average of 19.3 points.• West Virginia started the 2017 season ranked 22nd in the Preseason AP Top 25 and returned to that position in Week 9, but never rose any higher than No. 22. They begin this season at No. 17 in the AP Poll. • Despite missing the final two games of the season, quarterback Will Grier finished the season 20th in the FBS in passing yards with 3,490 yards, also with 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last year. Entering the 2018 season, he is considered a preseason Heisman candidate and has garnered multiple first-team All-American selections. • Three West Virginia wide receivers ranked in the top 32 in the FBS in receiving yards in 2017: Gary Jennings (18th), Ka’Raun White (30th) and All-American David Sills V (32nd). Jennings (97 rec., 1,096 yards, TD) and Sills V (60 rec., 980 yards, 18 TDs) both return for the Mountaineers this season.

• This marks the first meeting between the two teams. • West Virginia is one of just seven teams amongst Power Five schools that Tennessee has never played, with the other six being Arizona, Arizona State, Illinois, Michigan State, Stanford and Washington.• The Vols own a 9-8 record all time against the Big 12 but have only played Kansas, Oklahoma, TCU, Texas and Texas Tech more than once.• Tennessee is currently riding a 12-game winning streak against non-conference foes, including four games against Power Five teams. UT has also won seven straight games at neutral sites, dating back to 2012. • While the Vols have never played WVU, they do own a 2-0 record against another team in the state. In 2003 and 2006, the Big Orange hosted Marshall in Neyland Stadium. The Thundering Herd and Mountaineers are the only two programs in FBS from West Virginia.

SERIES NOTES• The Mountaineers finished last season as the 13th-ranked passing offense in the FBS (309.3 yards per game) and 20th in total offense (459.6 yards per game).• While its offense was one of the best in the nation, West Virginia’s defense struggled last season and was an area of emphasis for head coach Dana Holgorsen going into this year. They ranked in the bottom third of teams in scoring defense (90th), passing defense (90th), rushing defense (103rd) and total defense (106th)• West Virginia won its last matchup against an SEC opponent -- against Missouri in 2015 -- but prior to that lost five straight to SEC foes, dating back to 2009.• The Vols and Mountaineers have three sets of notable high school teammates. Tennessee’s Shy Tuttle, who will likely start at nose tackle, and West Virginia’s Kennedy McKoy, the team’s top returning running back, played together at North Davidson High School in Lexington, N.C. Brandon Johnson (UT) and Alec Sinkfield (WVU) were teammates at American Heritage in Plantation, Fla., while Austin Smith (UT) and Tyler Thurmond (WVU) both played at Buford High School in Buford, Ga.

DOMINATING D IN CHARLOTTE • Saturday marks Pruitt’s third game at Bank of

America Stadium in Charlotte since he became a defensive coordinator in 2013 with his defense leading the way to victories in both previous matchups.

• Pruitt’s defense held Duke to just one late-game score in a 45-7 Florida State win in the 2013 ACC Championship Game, holding the Blue Devils to just 239 yards of total offense.

• HIS DEFENSES HAVE ALLOWED ONLY 14.9 PPG SINCE 2013

• NAMED TENNESSEE’S 26TH HEAD COACH ON DEC. 7, 2017

“Jeremy has done a tremendous job for our program, and we appreciate everything he has done to contribute to our success. What has made Jeremy a great coach and coordinator are the same characteristics that are going to make him an outstanding head coach. He is hard-working, dedicated and organized with exceptional knowledge of the game. He is an excellent recruiter who does a great job developing players and earning their respect. He will do a great job at Tennessee and we wish him the best.”- Nick Saban, Alabama Head Coach, Six-Time National Champion

“Jeremy Pruitt is one of the top defensive minds in college football. He has a relentless drive to be great and he did a phenomenal job as our defensive coordinator when we won the national championship in 2013. He’s a tenacious recruiter with a remarkable ability to build long-lasting relationships with his players. He loves football and he loves mentoring young men. I believe Tennessee has made a great hire with their new head coach.”- Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M Head Coach & 2013 National Champion

“Coach P was one of my favorite coaches because he had a good balance of work and play. When it was time to focus on football, we definitely focused on football but when it was time to have fun like on game days and maybe special holidays, we had fun as a family. Coach always made sure we were taken care of and made sure that we stayed on top of our game and our academics in the classroom. Coach helped bring a national championship to Florida State and I appreciate him for that. I was never a Tennessee Volunteer fan growing up and that’s a main reason I didn’t go there, but now I hope nothing but the best for their program and Coach Pruitt. Maybe I would have made a different decision back then.”- Jalen Ramsey, Jacksonville Jaguars All-Pro Cornerback

“Coach Pruitt is definitely one of my favorite coaches I have ever had playing at Alabama. I definitely think he is a players’ coach. The guys at Tennessee are getting a great head coach who really cares about them. I mean, I know they’re excited. I’m not too excited to play against them every year, but I think it’s good. I think it was the best decision for him.” - Jonathan Allen, 2016 National Defensive Player of the Year and current Washington Redskins defensive lineman

“WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ”

ABOUT JEREMY PRUITT

Jeremy Pruitt was introduced as the 26th head coach in Tennessee football history on Dec. 7, 2017, taking the helm of the Volunteers after cementing himself as the nation’s top defensive coordinator during stints at Alabama (2016-17), Georgia (2014-15) and Florida State (2013).Pruitt comes to Rocky Top with five national championships to his credit, including the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship victory he helped lead Alabama to a month after taking the UT job. He also was part of three national championships (2009, 2011, 2012) on the staff of the Crimson Tide from 2007 to 2012 and was the defensive coordinator during the Seminoles’ undefeated national championship season in 2013. Pruitt was a standout high school coach before joining the Alabama staff as the Director of Player Development. He played collegiately for coaching legends Boots Donnelly, at Middle Tennessee State, and for Gene Stallings, at Alabama, after growing up in Rainsville, Ala., a town just 45 minutes south of Chattanooga. Pruitt is a teacher at heart, spending time as a physical education instructor right out of college while serving as an assistant football coach for his father at Plainview and Fort Payne high schools. In his introductory press conference, Pruitt joked that he taught every kid in Fort Payne, Ala., how to tie their shoes from 2001-04. Former players he recruited and coached swear by Pruitt years later, including NFL All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, Pro Bowl linebacker Telvin Smith and Redskins linebacker Ryan Anderson to name a few. He owns a 96-13 (.881 winning percentage) record as a collegiate assistant coach and is a two-time Broyles Award finalist in addition to being named National Recruiter of the Year by 247Sports in 2012.He has coached 44 NFL draft picks and 18 All-Americans. The list of players coached by Pruitt reads like a who’s who of college football’s top defensive players this decade and includes 2017 National Defensive Player of the Year Minkah Fitzpatrick, 2016 Butkus Award (nation’s top LB) winner Reuben Foster, 2016 National Defensive Player of the Year Jonathan Allen, top 10 NFL draft picks Ramsey, Roquan Smith, Leonard Floyd, Mark Barron and Dee Milliner, and current NFL stars Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Dre Kirkpatrick, Lamarcus Joyner and Telvin Smith.

2018 PRESEASON HONORS

BELK COLLEGE KICKOFF• Tennessee’s 2018 season-opener will be played in

Charlotte as the third-ever Belk College Kickoff.• Tennessee has not lost a season-opener since 2008,

a streak of nine consecutive wins• The game will mark Tennessee’s fourth straight sea-

son playing a regular season neutral site game. The Vols are 3-0 in those games.

• The Belk College Kickoff will be contested in the Carolina Panthers’ Bank of America Stadium, which marks the fifth straight season that the Vols will play a game in an NFL stadium. The Vols are a perfect 5-0 in games inside NFL stadiums in that time peri-od.

• The game will be Tennessee’s first inside the borders of the state of North Carolina since 1961.

• The matchup will mark the first time since 2015 and just the third time since 2012 that the Vols have opened the season on a Saturday.

VOLS, WVU MEET FOR FIRST TIME• There are only seven Power Five schools that Ten-

nessee has never faced: West Virginia, Illinois, Mich-igan State, Arizona, Arizona State, Stanford and Washington.

• West Virginia is the only Power Five school locat-ed less than 480 miles from Knoxville that the Vols have never played (Knoxville to Morgantown dis-tance: 422 miles).

NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS• Tennessee has won 12 consecutive games against

non-conference teams, dating back to 2015.• Over the course of the streak, the Vols have defeat-

ed the likes of Northwestern (2015), Virginia Tech (2016), Nebraska (2016) and Georgia Tech (2017).

• The 12 straight wins over non-conference teams have come by an average of 23.2 points per game.

NEUTRAL SITE WIN STREAK• When Tennessee faces West Virginia to open the

2018 season, the Vols will be defending a sev-en-game win streak on neutral fields – which began when UT defeated NC State, 35-21 in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game on Aug. 31, 2012.

• The Vols haven’t lost on a neutral field since falling to North Carolina, 30-27 (2OT) in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30, 2010 – over seven years ago.

DATE OPPONENT/RESULT NEUTRAL SITE GAME9/4/17 Georgia Tech, 42-41 (2OT) Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game 12/30/16 Nebraska, 38-24 Music City Bowl9/10/16 Virginia Tech, 45-24 Battle at Bristol1/1/16 Northwestern, 45-6 Outback Bowl 9/5/15 Bowling Green, 59-30 Opener in Nashville 1/2/15 Iowa, 45-28 TaxSlayer Bowl 8/31/12 NC State, 35-21 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game

SEASON OPENERS AGAINST RANKED TEAMS• West Virginia enters the 2018 season ranked No.

17/20 in the country, making Saturday’s season opener the first time since 2007 that Tennessee will open the season against a ranked opponent.

• Tennessee has opened the season with a win over a ranked team six times, last in 2006 (a 35-18 win over No. 9 California). The Vols have only once opened the season with a win over a ranked team while not being ranked themselves, a 3-0 win over No. 3 Au-burn in 1959.

• Jeremy Pruitt’s debut will mark the first time ever that a Tennessee head coach opens his career against a ranked opponent.

FIRST YEAR VOL HEAD COACHES• Saturday’s game represents the first game at Ten-

nessee for head coach Jeremy Pruitt, hired on Dec. 7, 2017 as the 26th head football coach in UT history.

• Vol head coaches are 20-5 in their UT debuts, in-cluding winning eight of the last 10 dating back to Jim McDonald’s opening season in 1963.

• Since the 1950s, UT head coaches in their first full season with the Vols have finished the season with a record above .500 on five occasions.

• Six of the coaches have captured a ranked win in their inaugural season, including three of the last four coaches on Rocky Top.

• Bill Battle (1970) and Hall of Fame coach Phillip Ful-mer (1993) are the only two coaches to ever finish ranked after their first year. Battle led his team to an impressive 11-1 record and a No. 4 finish in the AP Poll, while Fulmer’s squad ended the year ranked 12th.

• Since the conference switched to divisions in 1992, three of UT’s four coaches have claimed top 3 fin-ishes in the SEC East, including Fulmer’s first season when the Volunteers were tied for first after posting a 7-1 record in league play.

• In season openers, seven of the last eight coaches have won their first game, including each of the last four.

TENNESSEE VS. THE BIG 12• Tennessee has played just 17 games all-time against

current members of the Big 12 Conference. The Vols are 9-8 in those games (year of last meeting in pa-rentheses):

Baylor 0-1 (1956) Iowa State 1-0 (1982) Kansas 2-0 (1974) Kansas State 0-1 (2000) Oklahoma 1-3 (2015) Oklahoma State 1-0 (1995) TCU 2-0 (1976) Texas 1-2 (1968) Texas Tech 1-1 (1997) West Virginia 0-0 Total 9-8

BACK IN THE FOLD• Three key contributors that missed the 2017 season

will return for the Vols in 2018: offensive lineman Chance Hall, wide receiver Jauan Jennings and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr.

• Prior to the 2017 season in which he redshirted due to injury, Hall had established himself as a valuable piece along Tennessee’s offensive line. As a fresh-man in 2015, he was named to the Freshman All-SEC team, as well as being named a Freshman All-Amer-ican by Sporting News and 247Sports.

• Jennings burst onto the scene for the Vols in 2016, racking up 40 catches for 580 yards and seven touchdowns -- including a 43-yard Hail Mary catch as time expired to give the Vols a win over Georgia. The Murfreesboro native suffered a season-ending wrist injury in the first half of the season-opener against Georgia Tech.

• Kirkland Jr. accumulated a total of 111 tackles over the course of the 2015 and 2016 seasons, earning Freshman All-SEC honors in 2015. An injury suffered in preseason fall practice forced the now-redshirt junior to miss all of the 2017 season.

ACADEMIC HIGHLIGHTS• Nine players on Tennessee’s roster will take the field

this fall already possessing degrees: Dillon Bates, Keller Chryst, Todd Kelly Jr., Brandon Kennedy, Darrin Kirkland Jr., Riley Lovingood, Madre Lon-don, Kyle Phillips and walk-on Malik Elion.

1998 REUNION: Tennessee’s 1998 National Championship Team will celebrate it’s 20-year reunion on Sept. 22 when the Vols host Florida at Neyland Stadium.

VOLS IN THE NFL

THE NFL DRAFT

The Vols have one of the most storied histories of producing NFL players:354 drafted players, third most in SEC and ninth among all schools.

At least one former Vol has played in 25 of the last 26 Super Bowls, with a total of 39 playing in the big game since 2000. For Super Bowl LII, VFL Derek Barnett was on the roster for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Sixteen former Vols have been selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2000, while 77 UT players have been selected overall in that time frame.

UT is third in the SEC and seventh in the nation with 46 all-time first-round draft picks.

UT sack king Derek Barnett was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 14th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, making him the Vols’ first NFL first-round pick since the Miami Dolphins selected Ja’Wuan James with the 19th overall selection in 2014. He also became Tennessee’s first defensive player selected in the first round since 2010, when the Kansas City Chiefs selected Eric Berry with the fifth pick and the Arizona Cardinals selected Dan Williams with the 26th pick.

Six Vols were selected in the first four rounds of the 2017 NFL Draft. That marks the most Vols picked in the first four rounds since 2002.

THE PROVERBIAL YARDSTICK• One of the greatest coaches in the history of the game

of football, Gen. Robert Reese Neyland is still, and will most likely always be, the yardstick by which all Tennessee football coaches are measured. For 21 years, he led the Big Orange to win after win and championship after championship. His 173 wins, seven conference titles and four national championships set the bar at one of the nation’s finest football institutions.

• According to UT legend Gus Manning, no one summed up Neyland and his coaching ability better than Wallace Wade: “He could take his and beat yours or take yours and beat his.” -- Wallace Wade, Alabama and Duke head coach and Neyland rival.

NEYLAND’S MAXIMS OF FOOTBALL1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way -- SCORE.3. If at first the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up -- put on more steam.4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle -- for this is the WINNING EDGE.6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

22 YEARS WITH 100K +• The Vols have seen at least one home crowd of 100,000

“The big games I played in Neyland Stadium are right up there with the Super Bowl. It is still one of the most electric atmospheres I have ever experienced, and the passion of the fans is what makes the difference.”- Peyton Manning, Former Vol and NFL QB

“It is a remarkable experience. It starts with the Vol Walk down to the stadium, and the energy just builds and builds until you run through the ‘T’ for kickoff.”- Jerod Mayo, Former Vol and NFL LB

“Don’t know if it is the stadium on the water, a bright orange I can even see or the 100,000+ die-hard fans but Tennessee is definitely one of my top-5 spots in college football. Neyland and Tennessee, you far exceeded my expectations.” - Brock Huard, ESPN/SEC Network game analyst

“The noise was a constant, oppressive force. I could literally feel it on my skin. But these fans weren’t just loud on the first drive. Or just on 3rd down. Or just in the fourth quarter. It was every. single. play.” - Ty Darlington, former Oklahoma offensive lineman (2015)

“Last year when we went to play Tennessee in Neyland Stadium, that was probably the best game experience I’ve had and probably will ever have. That’s a different type of loud. I can’t even describe it. It was unbelievable.”- Baker Mayfield, former Oklahoma quarterback (2015)

“It’s got to be Tennessee! That night in that stadium with the orange and Rocky Top -- that’s my favorite!”- Lee Corso, ESPN College Football Analyst
