Following win over Auburn former Alabama LB compliments Jeremy Pruitt, predicts Tennessee will be back

The Alabama-Tennessee rivalry hasn’t been much of a battle in recent years, but it’s still rare to find one player from the other side complimenting the other program.
Former Alabama linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton did that Sunday afternoon when he offered some positive reinforcement for Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt.
After noticing that Tennessee had gone on the road and beat Auburn on The Plains on Saturday, Hamilton took the time to show he still cares about the SEC and give a gentle reminder about last season when the Crimson Tide lost to Auburn in the Iron Bowl.
It’s so good to see Pruitt getting these players to fight and play hard for him. Tennessee will be relevant again once he gets his players

Alabama has won 11 straight against Tennessee. Next week Pruitt will look to become the first Volunteers coach to beat the Crimson Tide since Phillip Fulmer in 2006.
Tennessee will come into the game with some confidence after a win over No. 21 Auburn Saturday, no doubt Hamilton will be keeping a close eye next week as well.
