The Tennessee Vols have punted just 12 times so far this season, which is tied with Florida for the fewest punts in the SEC.
(By comparison, Alabama has punted 19 times while playing one more game than Tennessee.)
During Vol Calls on Wednesday night, Heupel was asked by host Bob Kesling about Tennessee's lack of punts.
Heupel told Kesling that they try to not say the word "punt" in the complex.
“We try not to use that word in our building very often," said Heupel. "It’s considered a curse word.”
If the Vols are punting, things aren't going well for Tennessee's offense. This isn't a team that's interested in playing the field position game — the Vols are always attacking and trying to put points on the board.
Heupel will punt if needed — he won't make foolish decisions — but if Tennessee is close to four down territory, it's almost guaranteed the Vols are going for it.
