Coach talked about what the decal means for him and his team as they start season 120:
"We're excited about wearing a commemorative sticker on the back of our helmet to honor the late Pat Summitt," Jones said. "We know everything she stands for. I think it's very fitting that Tennessee football and Team 120 recognize her and everything she means to the University of Tennessee and state of Tennessee."
