Every Wednesday, Tennessee coach Butch Jones answers questions on “Vol Calls,” a weekly call-in radio show. Here’s what Jones had to say this week as Tennessee gets set to face Florida in The Swamp on Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
Jones opened the show with confidence:
Butch Jones opens #VolCalls again praising Florida's defense, but adds, "I really, really like our game plan."

He may have alluded to that game plan a little when talking about Florida quarterback Will Grier.
JONES: The whole key to keeping Grier in the pocket is our interior linemen. We're going to need great push up the middle.

As you’d expect, Jones sees a little extra in his Vols as they get set to face their rivals.
Butch said the players have had a little extra energy and a little extra bounce in their step in practice this week.

Jones downplayed the impact of the suspensions handed down to QB Treon Harris and CB Jalen Tabor due to a violation of team rules.
JONES: I really believe Grier was their QB. The loss of Tabor hurts their depth, but the suspensions don't truly impact the game one bit.
