Week 2 of the 2023 college football season has concluded.
Third-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel discussed how he wants his team to respond to the Week 2 game versus Austin Peay.
“The job for us is to be the best football team on the field every Saturday,” Heupel said. “You walk off the field, you see the scoreboard, and you either accomplished that or you did not. We have to come back in, we have to learn, reset, and grow from it as we head into conference play. We are going to be better than we were tonight. Are we capable of doing those things? Absolutely. There are really small things, there are some things at wideout. We have seen those guys, operate, function, and handle all that at a really high level.
“Urgency in how we come back tomorrow afternoon and on Monday is absolutely critical for us. I will say this, I did not feel like we were unfocused last week. We just have to take strides. Obviously, the environment will be a good one next week, and a good quality opponent.”
Tennessee will next play at Florida in Week 3 (7 p.m. EDT, ESPN).
