Tennessee will host Pittsburgh in the Johnny Majors Classic Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
The matchup is between Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel and Pittsburgh’s Pat Narduzzi.
Heupel met with media on Monday and discussed the challenge of his offense going against Narduzzi’s defense.
“You’re going to see a bunch of man-press based out of quarters, but they’ll play multiple coverages out of it,” Heupel said of Pittsburgh’s defense. “They’re a well-coached team in all three phases of the game. They’re going to be tough and physical – that’s out on the perimeter and that’s inside the core, too.
“You got to be tough, you got to have strain, you got to play with a physical presence. That’s going to be important for us out on the perimeter, it’ll be true for the guys in the core, too.”
