WATCH: Tennessee HC Josh Heupel, Players Recap Kentucky and Preview Mississippi State Game | Rocky Top Insider
Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel led off the Week 11 media slate on Monday afternoon in Knoxville with a 12-minute press conference.
The Vols will close out a four-game, five-week home stretch this Saturday night in a homecoming game against SEC foe Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are currently the SEC’s last-place team and are still searching for their first conference win of the season.
Tennessee is riding a three-game win streak heading into Saturday’s game after taking down Florida, Alabama, and Kentucky in the last four weeks. The Vols will look to continue that momentum and keep their playoff hopes alive with another SEC foe this weekend.
Tennessee also teased the return of the Summitt Blue accessories on Monday as November represents Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.
In addition to Heupel, three Tennessee players also met with the media on Monday: tight end Holden Staes, safety Jakobe Thomas, and linebacker Jalen Smith.
