Butch Jones: Patience and poise were key to this win. We didn't like kicking field goals but our kids did well.

Butch said there was an emphasis on forcing three-and-outs and they forced six.

"The biggest thing when you go on the road is you can't turn the football over." – Butch. Vols won turnover battle easily.

JONES on no sleeves on his team: that's the mentality of our program. I could see the look in their eyes this morning, they were ready.

Butch has twice mentioned none of his players wearing sleeves in the cold. He's proud of it.

JONES: Jalen Hurd ran hard. He squared his shoulders and turned upfield. Our offensive line opened holes.

Butch said the fourth quarter drive that took nearly five minutes was a game-closing drive. "We've been stressing that."

JONES: Anytime we have success it builds confidence. We controlled the turnovers and controlled the game
