Heupel explains his year to year decline at UCF

Tennessee is in the middle of kickstarting a new era of football, maybe finally diving into the modern era with an attacking, spread scheme. Josh Heupel will be calling the shots going forward for the Volunteers, bringing his high-octane system to Knoxville.
