- Tennessee allowed 10 sacks and gained 221 yards in its 20-17 loss to Texas. Josh Heupel attributed the protection failure to both the line, including pressure through chip help, and quarterback Faizon Brandon's eyes and delayed throws; he said Texas showed nothing so unusual that Tennessee should not have adjusted. This is a postgame diagnosis, not an announced lineup change. - Heupel said Tennessee's medical staff checked Faizon Brandon after he left the Texas game in the first half and that Brandon returned feeling ready and able to throw normally. He also took more hits late. The coach supplied no diagnosis, future clearance or practice limit. - Tennessee starting left guard Wendell Moe Jr. left the Texas game early. Asked for his status afterward, Heupel said he had no update on where Moe would be; the supplied presser provides no diagnosis, return timetable or confirmed replacement. - Heupel said Tennessee's defensive front mostly bottled up Texas' run game and pressured its quarterback, though Texas found consecutive runs on a late fourth-quarter drive. He praised the game's line-of-scrimmage work without announcing a new front, pressure rate or personnel change.

- QB: Preach....I don't understand running this offense without tempo.

- OL: Doug Mathews expects them to slow it down even more for a while.

- OL: Glenn may have to fall on his own sword and quit if Heupel doesn't have the stones to fire him.

- OL: Him going to an analyst position would spare Josh the embarrassment of firing his friend, while also allowing him to hire a replacement OL coach who is objectively better

- Offense: i didnt gain confidence and optimism in our offensive side of the ball,,, i do hope and dream of better so i have not thrown in any towel..

- LB: Unless the offense gets going, we will be in a lot of close games because that is what our defense will do.

- OL: We're not overreacting because we know we must have low expectations with this offensive line.

- LB: This should have been the most predictable scenario possible.

- LB: Steve's son Keith Delong played LB in the late 80s and who you would remember as he's just a few years older than you and me.
