Heupel's legacy rides on beating OU

If Heupel lets Oklahoma stroll into Neyland and steal a W, it’s a gut punch to every Vol fan who’s watched this program claw back from the Pruitt mess. Forget the Nico drama—this is about pride. You don’t let the Sooners waltz in and jump you in the SEC pecking order. Heupel’s done wonders, but if he can’t defend Rocky Top against his old squad, all that momentum goes up in smoke. No excuses—beat OU or the Vols risk losing their hard-earned swagger. #Sports #Football #Vols
