KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WCYB) — Tennessee football kicked off conference play on Saturday with a close 20-17 loss to top-ranked Texas.
However, it was a late charge from the Vols that gave fans inside of Neyland hope of a comeback victory.
In the end Head Coach Josh Heupel believes that there are things to improve upon and a few bright spots.
“I do love how the team continued to fight and play until the last play,” Heupel said. “We did not play smart enough, but I’ll take the effort of playing the next play and continuing to fight until the clock ticks zero.”
The Vols will look to bounce back next week as Auburn makes the trip to Neyland Stadium.
