Trent Dilfer explains why he had his phone out before the Tennessee game

After the game, Dilfer was asked why he had his phone on the sideline before the game.

Dilfer explained that he was sending his pregnant daughter a video of the environment at Neyland.

"Yeah, my phone's on the sideline every game," said Dilfer. "I have a daughter who's getting ready to give birth and I wanted to show her the environment. And I always Face Time or send a video to my grandson."

That's certainly a fair answer from Dilfer. As a fellow dad, I can't blame him. Still, it's unusual to see a head coach anywhere close to a cell phone just moments before kick off.
