What Joey Aguilar said after Tennessee’s 34-31 win over Arkansas on Saturday
Tennessee Football quarterback Joey Aguilar completed 16 of 25 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown and ran five times for 59 yards in the 34-31 win over Arkansas Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Here’s everything Aguilar said during his postgame press conference after the win, as the Vols improved to 5-1 (2-1 SEC):
Leaving the game late after getting the wind knocked out of him
“Yeah, no, I feel good right now. But yeah, that ball was deep in my stomach. That took the air out of me for sure.”
The defensive looks from Arkansas after their defensive staff changes
“Yeah, for sure. Man, the past two weeks, (we were) kind of going against four different defenses, not sure what we’re going to get. But prepared for whatever they came out in and they came out in a certain defense, tried to switch it up second half, but we just stayed to our preparation and just executed as offense.”
Tennessee having two overtime games against Georgia and Mississippi State, then a close game against Arkansas, what the Vols have learned
“I mean, definitely. Just it’s kind of in a situation, playing in a game like that, three great teams, and just being in that situation before. It just shows everybody, we’ve been here and we know what to expect. And we just got to dig harder, lean more on our teammates, and just go out there and execute.”
Tennessee WR Braylon Staley catching six passes for 109 yards, the progress he’s made this season
“He’s a young guy. And him, Mike (Matthews), and (Chris) Brazzell just came in and worked and. Today they were trying to take out Brazzell out the game, kind of double team him, play super soft. But Braylon stepped up and when he got the ball, he produced pretty well.”
Tennessee RB DeSean Bishop running for 146 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game with an injury, Peyton Lewis replacing him
“That’s awesome. We got a deep running back core. And all three of those guys go in there and make plays. And Bishop had the hot hand, he was making plays. And then P-Lew came in and stepped it up as well. So just to have rotational guys like that, just knowing and trusting that they’re going to go in there and do the job and do what they have to do is awesome.”
The Tennessee Titans’ search for their next head coach is coming into focus, and the initial interview phase is in full swing.
Following the news that Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy would be having a first virtual interview on Thursday, the dates and times for some interviews for other candidates have come out.
Multiple reports on social media indicate that Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo will meet with Mike Borgonzi on Wednesday, followed by Nagy on Thursday. The team will then follow that up by meeting with former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski on Saturday and former Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris on Monday.
Tennessee will also meet with interim head coach Mike McCoy, and is rumored to have interest in former Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
It’s an ever-changing process in Nashville. Stay up to date with all the coaching search news with us here at Titans Wire, and please sound off with your thoughts.

Sick and tired: Counties near Chattanooga are now reporting highest flu rates in Tennessee
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn — Tennessee health officials say flu activity is rising sharply in around Chattanooga, with counties surrounding Hamilton showing some of the highest rates in the state.
Marion, Grundy, Sequatchie, Bradley, Meigs, Rhea, Bledsoe, McMinn and Polk counties are currently the only areas in Tennessee rated “very high” for influenza activity by the Tennessee Dept. of Health. Photo via the Tennessee Health Dept.
Marion, Grundy, Sequatchie, Bradley, Meigs, Rhea, Bledsoe, McMinn and Polk counties are currently the only areas in Tennessee rated “very high” for influenza activity by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
These counties have flu positivity rates greater than 10 percent. By comparison, the statewide average is 6.5 percent, and Hamilton County itself is at 6.9 percent.
State and federal health experts say the surge comes as influenza A(H3N2) continues to circulate widely. The CDC reports at least 11 million flu illnesses, 120,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths nationwide so far this season. One pediatric death was reported this week in Tennessee, bringing the season total to nine nationwide.

Georgia officials are also reporting higher-than-average flu activity, signaling that the region is experiencing a particularly active season. Health authorities encourage residents six months and older to get vaccinated if they have not already and to take precautions such as frequent handwashing and staying home when sick.
Flu activity is expected to remain elevated in Tennessee and across the U.S. for several more weeks, according to the CDC. Local hospitals and clinics are urging families to monitor symptoms and seek care early, especially for children, older adults, and those with chronic health conditions.
