Tennessee practiced for the seventh time during the spring on Thursday.
Thursday’s practice consisted of the Vols’ first scrimmage.
Following the scrimmage, first-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media and discussed how the Vols’ offense performed.
“Offensively as the scrimmage went on, thought we did a great job of getting into a rhythm, creating some big plays and operated really efficiently with our tempo, our ball mechanics,” Heupel said. “I thought the quarterbacks did a good job of handling all those things really well throughout the day. Played error-free for the most part. We’ll want to correct some things as far as decision-making inside the pocket, but took care of the football.
“Really good day for us as far as our first scrimmage. First live action. Guys are going to learn a ton from this, and looking forward to moving on here as we get with them here later this weekend.”
Tennessee will take Friday off and return to action Saturday.
The Vols will hold a practice Saturday inside Neyland Stadium at 10 a.m. EDT. Practice is open to the public and admission is free.
All fans should enter through Gate 21, and the game day clear bag policy will be in effect. Gate 21 will open beginning at 9:15 a.m. EDT.
Ongoing COVID-19 protocols will be in effect, including face coverings upon entry and movement through the stadium. Physical distancing in the lower bowl of Neyland Stadium will be enforced.
