KNOXVILLE – Tennessee will conclude its regular season schedule Saturday against Vanderbilt.
The Vols are coming off a 24-20 road victory over Missouri – a win that made Tennessee bowl eligible.
Ahead of the in-state contest with the Commodores, Jeremy Pruitt said his team had a good week of practice.
“We’ve had another really good week of practice here,” Pruitt said. “Our guys continue to work hard to improve. We definitely, this past week, had a physical game, so we’ve got some guys that are banged up. It’s been a great opportunity for other guys to get more reps. They’ve done a nice job of that.
“It’s the last home game for these 13 seniors and I can’t say enough good things about them and the way they’ve represented the university, this program, this team, themselves, their families. We’ve had a fantastic atmosphere the entire year with our fanbase, from the Vol Walk, running through the T, the crowd experience has been great. I just want to ask everybody, I know it’s Thanksgiving weekend, but this group of seniors have really bought in to what we’re trying to get done here at Tennessee, we want to send them out the right way. I know we’ll do that.”
Tennessee and Vanderbilt will kickoff at 4 p.m. ET and will be televised by the SEC Network.
