Pruitt mentioned he has not decided on a starting quarterback against the Gators.

“We’ll make a decision as we get closer to the game,” Pruitt said.

During Pruitt’s weekly appearance on the Southeastern Conference teleconference Wednesday, he also discussed Tennessee’s quarterback unit.

He mentioned freshman quarterback Harrison Bailey “will definitely play Saturday” against Florida.
