Sixth-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel discussed the Vols' performance after the game.

"Extremely proud of our football team," Heupel said. "A lot of things that this group was dealing with, injuries, the travel, getting in late, and ultimately deciding to prepare the right way, not let anything get in our way and going competing really hard for four quarters. Elite defensive performance, shut out in the second half. I think that's the second straight week, but really from start to finish, other than a couple of plays, just absolutely light out. You know, that's front linebackers were active, and secondary with some some big time plays, and offensively, you know, we got to get touchdowns instead of field goals.

"Cooper (Ranvier), elite performance by him. Special teams were solid all day long, and you know, proud of the offensive football team, just continuing to strain, and, you know, quarterbacks both of them playing really good football."
