Josh Heupel delivers must-hear post-game speech to Tennessee's players after Vols lock up playoff spot

The Tennessee Vols are playoff bound after taking care of business against the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday in Nashville. 

Tennessee's 36-23 win against the Commodores -- a game in which UT erased a 14 point deficit -- essentially locked up a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff. 

After the tough win against Vanderbilt, Vols head coach Josh Heupel spoke to his team about what's ahead of Tennessee now the program is heading to the post-season. 

Heupel's speech was captured by Tennessee's social media team. 

"I challenged you guys today, or yesterday, or really throughout the week," said Heupel. "Man, it couldn't have started any worse. And you know what? Competitive composure.

"The good, the bad, the ugly, everything in between -- you just kept coming. That's what elite people, that's what champions do, man. You just keep coming. What do we want to be about in the postseason? What do we want? I know we're gonna play physical. We play smarter in our execution, alignment, assignment, technique, the details. But it's gotta be all in, everybody invested, every minute of the day. Because you've been working since January. This was the goal. But man, like, take a minute, enjoy this thing, enjoy it tonight. And then we gotta get physically healed up, as good as we can, to go play our best football here in a couple of weeks."
