Tennessee linebacker Quart'e Sapp denied the allegation from his coach Jeremy Pruitt that he refused to enter the game during a loss to Florida on Saturday.

Pruitt told reporters that Sapp wouldn't go in and because of that, he ordered him to leave the game entirely. But in a message posted on Twitter, Sapp said that wasn't the case.

"Never would I disrespect my team, my coaches, my family or the fans by not giving my all for Tennessee," he tweeted. "I'm only going to address the situation publicly once, knowing the current narrative has been created through miscommunication.
