“Prettiest.” It’s hard to know exactly what Minor meant by that.
It could mean that he knows the Volunteers will look good getting off the bus. Or it could be an acknowledgement of the pace and discipline with which Tennessee runs its offense.
Regardless, Minor’s comments led to see some interesting reactions on social media:
Was that shade or a new way of complimenting

What does that even mean?

I don’t think it was an insult. I don’t really know what it was to be honest. Kinda odd.

I think he means our offense just looks clean. Very methodical and few mistakes

Prettiest is a word that shouldn’t be used to describe anything in football. Unless you’re talking about the Cowboys.
