Jeremy Pruitt says starting Tennessee OL is doubtful for Alabama game
Tennessee junior Riley Locklear has started at right guard a few times this season, but he is now dealing with an injury.
For a unit that has already had trouble being effective behind standout OL Trey Smith, this is bad news, especially with a trip to Alabama coming this weekend.
On Wednesday night, coach Jeremy Pruitt said he doesn’t think Locklear will be able to play on Saturday night:
Jeremy Pruitt says OL Riley Locklear "probably won't play" this week.

Alabama’s defense has struggled at times this year, but so has Tennessee’s offense. Being down a key lineman like Locklear makes the Vols’ job even tougher.
How will it affect the Vols’ offense? We’ll find out Saturday night.
