Tennessee coach Butch Jones is looking for a “signature win” today against Oklahoma.
Whether or not Team 119 is good enough to notch a home win against coach Bob Stoops remains to be seen. But Jones seemed pretty fired up during his pregame speech, which ESPN showed during the broadcast.
Take a look at Jones’ pregame motivational tactics for yourself:
Last year, Tennessee finished 6-6 in the regular season and won the TaxSlayer Bowl. But that was with a big loss on the road against Oklahoma.
A win here almost guarantees the Vols a 4-0 finish in the non-conference slate, meaning the team would need to finish just .500 in a so-so SEC East to improve by two regular-season wins.
