Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel Throws Shade at Purdue Over Suspiciously Timed Injuries

Following Tennessee's 48-45 loss to Purdue in the Music City Bowl, Volunteers coach Josh Heupel did not shy away from his displeasure about Purdue's suspiciously timed injuries during the game.

When asked by reporters if players should should have a mandatory cooling off period before returning to games after suffering an injury, Heupel let loose.

"No, it's crazy," Heupel said. "The officials wanted that tonight. I thought that was pretty comical they came up to me and said that."

During the game, Boilermakers defensive tackle Lawrence Johnson took a knee after a play to signal that he was injured.
