KNOXVILLE — Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt addressed media following the Vols’ third practice of fall training camp.
The Vols’ third practice was the first day in shells.
“We didn’t get a chance to do that in the spring, so I know our players were excited to have a chance to strike people up front and finish with thuds, and a little bit closer to football,” Pruitt said. “I really think over the last three days our offense continues to improve as far as how fast we’re getting lined up, getting the calls in, communicating, taking care of the football.
“I was really pleased with our offensive line today. They continued to improve and develop some chemistry up there. We’re playing a lot of guys — a lot of guys getting a lot of different opportunities there.”
Pruitt said that they are “moving some guys around” throughout the roster.
“You can tell from a conceptual standpoint we’re a lot further ahead than we were probably when we practiced in spring thanks to the OTAs we had this summer,” he said.
Tennessee will kick off the 2020 season Sept. 26 at South Carolina.
