KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – A recent article said the Florida game was the most important matchup for Tennessee in 2016. While the vast majority of readers seemed to agree, more Vols fans than I expected responded with pure Butch Jones coach-speak, saying the team’s most important game “is the next one.”

“The next one” is a phrase Jones has used numerous times when asked about his team’s schedule and the importance of various games.
