"BYE week, got on the field today with our guys," Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said. "Good work. Were in the building yesterday, what's a typical Monday for us and opportunity to get healthy, physically as much as you can at this point in the year and then opportunity to get better.
"Everything in this game is about how you finish and you can look back at last week and us not finishing the game that we need to and you can push forward to needing to go finish the season
the way that we need to, so a lot of growth needs to happen this week for us and get ready to go play a really good Kentucky team here in a week and a half."
