Tennessee practiced for the eighth time, its first scrimmage, on Thursday during fall training camp.
Following Tennessee’s scrimmage, first-year Vols’ head coach Josh Heupel met with media to recap his team’s performance.
Below is a transcript of Heupel’s media availability provided by the University of Tennessee.
Opening Statement
“Great day inside Neyland Stadium. It’s awesome any time you get an opportunity to go in there. There’s only one way that we should compete when we walk in that stadium. I’m proud of a lot of the things we did on both sides of the ball. Defensively, I think we played with great effort, energy and strain. We competed extremely hard, tackled well in space. A lot of really positive things from them. Offensively, we showed glimpses of those things, but didn’t really string it together the way that we want to or need to. There are a lot of things that we’ve learned here that we’ll be able to use moving forward. You look at it and we’re halfway through training camp, so you have to keep pushing. We need this to be a great afternoon too, just showing growth as we go back and look at the tape.”
