Josh Heupel previews Vols preparing for Music City Bowl

Josh Heupel previews Tennessee preparing for the Music City Bowl against Purdue.

On the feeling of a home game with the atmosphere and fans in-state

“I’m excited for the game day environment, absolutely, our players are too. This is Tennessee territory and excited to see all of our fans here.”

On the status of the second cornerback position heading into the game

“Throughout the course of the season, one guy is down, the next guy steps up. I believe in the guys that will play there when we get to game day. It won’t just be one guy I don’t think throughout the entire 60 minutes, but excited to see those guys go compete.”

On the progression of OL Jeremiah Crawford

“Man, he’s a guy that coming out of junior college got here middle part of the summer and continued to grow strength and conditioning wise just with his frame and strength as we’ve gone through the early part of the season. Schematically, just understanding and growing into the position, has grown a ton throughout the course of it and (we) expect him to only continue to get better here inside of our program.”
