Tennessee defensive line coach Brady Hoke spoke to media following Sunday’s practice. He shed some light on the happenings up front, seeming pleased with the group he’s got in his first year in Knoxville.
Hoke particularly spoke highly of defensive end Kyle Phillips. “It’s great to have him out there. It’s great to have him out there healthy,” Hoke said. “He’s done a really good job, he’s got great leadership, he loves to play the game, he’s got great effort. He’s been impressive.”
“You watch film and you see the backside end sprinting down the field to cut off the ballcarrier — I mean, that’s Kyle Phillips.
