Steve Spurrier loves a high-powered passing attack. The Head Ball Coach loved what he saw from Josh Heupel’s Tennessee squad in its Week 7 win over Alabama.
Tennessee was Spurrier’s rival at Florida and South Carolina, but the HBC was rooting for his home-state team on The Third Saturday in October. Spurrier shared high praise for Heupel and the Vols during his appearance on “The Paul Finebaum Show.”
.@SteveSpurrierUF tells @finebaum he was pulling for Tennessee to beat Alabama.
“I think they’re the best offense in the country. Josh Heupel is the coach of the year. I admire what they’ve done up there. They throw it around better than anyone in the country right now.”

Tennessee puts up 368.9 yards per game through the air, which ranks No. 2 among 131 FBS teams, behind only Washington. The Vols have played 7 games to the Huskies’ 8, but still have more passing touchdowns (23-22) and fewer interceptions (4-2).
