Everyone is playing the new EA Sports College Football video game that was released this week, including Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel.

Heupel told On3's Andy Staples this week at SEC Media Days that he played the new EA Sports College Football game on Monday night with his son.

According to Heupel, it was a Tennessee vs Tennessee matchup. And unsurprisingly, Heupel's son won the matchup.

"Yeah, Tennessee vs Tennessee on the TV with my son, this Tennessee (Heupel) got crushed in the head to head battle," said a laughing Heupel.

"He (Heupel's son) didn't critique the play calling, he questioned some of my decision making," added Heupel. "I played aggressive, a few onside kicks."

When asked if the Tennessee playbook is accurate in the game, Heupel quickly said (while laughing) "I didn't draw that playbook".

I feel Heupel's pain when it comes to losing to your son in a video game. I'm several years younger than Heupel, but I've already reached the point where my 12-year old can, for the most part, handle me in most video games.

It's the surest sign that you're getting old(er).
