Vols' Wilson says team playing for pride
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee linebacker Ellix Wilson says the slumping Volunteers are playing for pride.
"We don't want to be remembered as the class that was the worst in Tennessee history," he said Tuesday. "We want to win these last two games for us, our coach, our family and for the state of Tennessee."
Tennessee (3-6 and out of bowl contention) has this Saturday off, then plays Vanderbilt and Kentucky.
Despite the disappointing season, lameduck coach Phillip Fulmer said the team has not lost its determination.
"This team ... has been one of those special groups of guys that has that characteristic about them," he said. "They never changed their attitude."
