Hey all, subbing in for @Chris Lee while he's traveling today, here are some takeaways from Clark Lea's Tuesday press conference ahead of the Tennessee game. Will post the video here as well when it loads.
- Going to start Mike Wright again this week, thinks that's the right thing to do this week for the game plan. Says Ken Seals is a warrior, has fought back from a surgery and will be available.
- Says they need touchdowns. This game with Tennessee will mirror last week's against Ole Miss. Their offense can score in chunks. Game up with three field goals, need to punctuate drives with touchdowns. Had red zone drives that also ended in a 4th down attempt and an interception.
- Liked Rocko Griffin's effort in the running game and pass protection
- This game means a lot. It's an emotional game. Means a lot him personally. Focus is one us. Need to finish the season on a high note and pull through to the finish.
- Tennessee's offensive tempo is a challenge. QB has been effective running and throwing. Can create speed mismatches on the outside. Need to execute defensively the way they did against Ole Miss.
- Rivalry is about being a Nashville native as a child. I grew up a Vanderbilt fan, so this rivalry has always had a heightened sense for him.
A short and sweet press conference today
