Josh Heupel assesses Vols’ offensive, defensive lines as spring practices conclude

Josh Heupel assesses the Vols’ offensive and defensive lines as spring practices conclude.

Tennessee concluded spring practices Thursday at Haslam Field.

Following the Vols’ final scrimmage and practice, second-year head coach Josh Heupel assessed the offensive and defensive line units.

“I think there’s been some give and take, back and forth between the line of scrimmages during the course of a practice and throughout a scrimmage like today,” Heupel said. “Disruptive and defense coming out of situations, able to create a sack or a safety today. Play behind the line of scrimmage, good pushing of the pocket and making it uncomfortable for the quarterback. At times today, I thought they were really efficient in the run game. I thought they were able to create some seams.

“I thought the running backs, without looking at the video, probably had their best day as far as pressing line of scrimmage, hitting holes, playing with really good pad level at the end of the runs, finding a way to get plus two. I thought there was some really good things from them.”
