Josh Heupel previews Tennessee-LSU game week

Vols’ head coach Josh Heupel previews Tennessee-LSU football game week.

No. 8 Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) will play at LSU (4-1, 2-0 SEC) Saturday in Week 6.

Kickoff between the Vols and Tigers is slated for noon EDT. ESPN will televise the SEC matchup.

Ahead of the SEC contest, second-year head coach Josh Heupel previewed the Vols against LSU.

“Last week, finished up good on the field with the guys, and then obviously our staff had a chance to get around the country and go recruit, which was a great opportunity for us to get out and see players, but take our brand across the country too,” Heupel said of Tennessee’s open date. “Finished up good, and now we turn our attention, obviously, to a really good football team here.

“Great opportunity at the end of the week. They continue to find ways to win. They’re a good football team. They’re long, they’re athletic on both sides of the line of scrimmage, and obviously have really good skill players too. Exciting week for us as we continue to go down this journey. Players were good this morning and looking forward to the opportunity on Saturday.”
