“We are looking forward to homecoming week here,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said on Monday. “I know it’s a noon kickoff, but I expect our fans to show up and show out in a great way and create a great environment. It’s a great opportunity to welcome back so many of our alumni here, so looking forward to that.
“November is also Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and we have a unique opportunity to honor the legacy of Pat Summitt. We’ll be doing that at the game with our uniform, but we’ll also be doing that with a commemorative cup that everyone can purchase. All of that will go to UT Medical’s research on Alzheimer’s.”
Heupel met with media for a final time on Thursday before playing UConn. Everything Heupel said on Thursday is listed below.
