Ahead of the matchup, senior defensive back Trevon Flowers met with media and discussed playing in the Music City Bowl.
Below is a transcript of Flowers’ media availability provided by the University of Tennessee.
On facing a persistent Purdue passing attack
“We’re up for the challenge. Of course, as DBs we like action, we want to be able to play fast and communicate. Man, it’s the last game … we want them to throw it a lot and we’re looking forward to making plays.”
On finishing the season the right way
“We’re all dialed in. I’ve seen guys go harder in practice this week than (they have) the whole season. We definitely want to win this game. We’ve been going hard all week and we’ve been locked in.”
On the competition within the defensive backs during bowl practices
“It’s been good, but like I said, we’ve been competing all year. Nothing has really changed too much, of course you’ve got to focus on the details a little bit more because you had a starter, Alontae Taylor, leave. We’ve just been locked in and all of us are focusing on our details a little bit more.”
On spending time in Nashville
“It’s been good, (the people) have showed us love. I’ve had a good time with the guys. This is my first time actually experiencing the city, so it’s been great.”
