Opening statement

“This week, coming back home. Excited to be back in Neyland Stadium…We need to create a great environment. I know we will, like always. We need to have the Neyland effect in effect on Saturday night. And it’s our responsibility as a football team to prepare and practice the right way to go play. But our fans can be a huge part of the environment and the football game as well. So I'm looking forward to it. Florida is playing its best ball right now. They continue to get better throughout the course of the season. That’s really in all three phases. Defensively, long, athletic, have speed Offensively, both the quarterbacks are playing really good football right now. And the offensive line is really solid.”

Josh: Yeah, I think both of ’em have played smart football, they’ve been accurate with the football in particular the last couple of weeks. They both operate within the system extremely well. Both have the ability to run the football and move and extend and make plays. You know, young kid (Lagway) is dynamic with the ball in his hands.
