Ahead of Saturday’s Southeastern Conference East matchup, third-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media and previewed game week.

“Saturday, Veterans Day, just want to acknowledge everybody that has and is serving our country,” Heupel said. “We, and I, appreciate everything that you’re doing, your sacrifices that you make, have made and continue to make for your family, as well.

“Big game this week. Really good football team that we have an opportunity to play. You look at what they’re doing in all three phases of the game. They’re playing extremely well. Look at their results throughout the course of the season, continue to play smart, physical football, both sides of the line of scrimmage in particular. It’ll be a huge test for us. Looking forward to seeing Vol nation show up, they’ve been awesome on the road this year. We certainly want to see a lot of orange when we get there to Columbia, too. Appreciate everybody making that trip.”
