“We get a chance this week to open it up at home,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said. “First experience for a bunch of our guys on game day inside of that stadium with a packed house and first Vol Walk, so I look forward to seeing all of our fans.
“Pleased with the win from Saturday, but today’s about how we get better and moving forward. I thought the guys were good inside of our meetings, and when we ultimately got on the field too. I’m looking forward to a good week. ETSU, you look at how they performed on Saturday, a bunch of yards, a bunch of points, and they did some really good things on the defensive side of the ball too, so constant growth from us. You guys heard me say it after the game on Saturday. This team has been good in their mindset and how they’ve approached every day. That will be critical this week too, for our entire team to take the jump.”
