After No. 11 Tennessee beat No. 20 Florida 38–33 in a statement victory in Knoxville, Volunteers coach Josh Heupel sounded off on the huge win for the program.
“How much fun is this?” Heupel said as he opened his on-field interview with CBS Sports’ Jenny Dell.
“Man, I love it. The kids competed … battled all night long, fans were awesome. The environment’s better than anything I’ve experienced. What a win,” Heupel added.
A big reason for Tennessee’s victory was the play of senior quarterback Hendon Hooker. The Virginia Tech transfer has gotten off to a hot start in his second year with the Vols, and his strong play continued on Saturday.
