KNOXVILLE – Kyle Phillips first suggested the possibility after Tennessee’s 58-21 loss to top-ranked Alabama on Saturday.
“I think we can win out, and that’s what we plan on doing,” Phillips said.
The remark could have been dismissed as an emotional wish from the senior defensive end following a tough loss.
Then another one of Tennessee’s defensive linemen suggested the possibility Tuesday.
“I’d like to win out and go to a bowl game as a senior,” Shy Tuttle said.
