Joey Aguilar delivers incredible Tennessee quote right after his huge Vols debut

Was it worth the wait, Tennessee football fans? Over the summer, we've all heard nothing but good things about quarterback Joey Aguilar, who transferred in from UCLA after all of the Nico Iamaleava drama that the program went through.

On Saturday against Syracuse, Aguilar looked a bit nervous to start, but goodness, he sure did settle into things. He ended up putting on a show, very much living up to the hype surrounding his name before Week 1 arrived. Behind Aguilar's strong right arm, the Vols posted a convincing 45-26 win.

Right after the final whistle, Aguilar jumped on with ESPN for a quick postgame interview.
