Fifth-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel recapped the Vols' win after the game.
"Proud of our football team," Heupel said. "They prepared, practiced and came ready to play early in the football game. Really all three phrases. We played smart football early. We talked about this being a game of physicality. I thought we won the line of scrimmage. We started fast in the second half offensively, just kind of messed it up a couple times. Got behind the chains on the first drive. The second one we throw an incompletion and end up missing a field goal. Good drive to finish it. The defense gives up the one big play on the wheel route. We need to finish better on that.
"Good win. A lot was made before we came down here about the streak. Proud of our guys, their preparation and giving themselves the chance to win. Good effort for Tennessee."
