Tennessee (5-1, 2-1 SEC) returned to Neyland Stadium on Saturday after an open date.
The Vols defeated Texas A&M (4-3, 2-2 SEC), 20-13.
“Really, the first drive after that they played really pretty dialed in football,” Heupel said. “Gap integrity, did a good job in the run game, got after the quarterback, you know the mixture of our coverages. We were in the right place at the right time. They hit a couple play actions, but all in all just the physicality, the effort, the strength and playing smart football. You put that together and it’s a great performance by those guys today.”
