KNOXVILLE – Tennessee opened fall training camp Monday in preparation for the upcoming season.
The Vols will kick off the season Sept. 26 at South Carolina.
Following practice, Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt discussed his team returning to Haslam Field.
“It’s great to be back out there on the field,” Pruitt said. “It was really good for a lot of reasons. Our team has worked extremely hard since June 8 preparing for this opportunity. It was good to see them get out there and compete a little bit.
“It’s been a very unusual summer, obviously, and I have to give a lot of credit to our medical staff here, who have put a fantastic plan together to give us an opportunity to do this. This is the first practice during this pandemic, so there’s lot of things that we can learn from moving forward, so we’re going to continue to do that. The situation obviously changes daily, and we’ve got to do a great job as a staff following the protocols that Dr. (Chris) Klenck and Jeronimo (Boche) have put together.”
