Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with the media for a quick press conference on Thursday morning in Knoxville.
As usual, Heupel’s press conference was short, sweet, and to the point. Heupel answered questions on the status of some of Tennessee’s banged-up players, his thoughts on both Kentucky’s passing game and running game, putting microphones in helmets to reduce cheating chances, Tennessee receiver Squirrel White, and much more.
“He’s had some of those (big) performances over the course of the season,” Heupel said about White. “At the end of the day, when the ball’s come his way he’s played really effectively. For us, as a young player, he’s done a great job of continuing to develop. He did that last year. He’s done that during the course of this season, too. In this football game, there’s going to be one-on-ones out on the perimeter. He has to play with great technique and go win some of those matchups.”
Kentucky will host No. 21 Tennessee this Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. ET in Lexington, Kentucky. The Vols are looking for a big bounce-back opportunity on the road after losing to Alabama last week while the Wildcats are coming off of their open date last weekend.
