Honestly, this is incredibly impressive. I’m not even sure how you have 91 guys who were spread out all over the country return and not a single one has the virus.

It might be more luck than anything else, but it’s still great news for fans of the Volunteers. The team is healthy and ready to roll.

Tennessee has to make sure the team stays safe now that they’re back on campus and all around each other. How do you do that?

Not a clue, but the coronavirus pandemic is still ongoing. If players just start running around all over the place, then you risk exposure.

They should be kept in a centralized location and monitored. For the time being, we might have to hit pause on visiting the coeds!

There are football games to be won!
