Tennessee scrimmaged for the second time at Neyland Stadium during fall training camp on Wednesday.
The Vols will kick off its 2023 season on Sept. 2 versus Virginia at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee (noon EDT, ABC).
Third-year head coach Josh Heupel met with media following Wednesday’s scrimmage.
“Good day out there, good energy on both sides of the line of scrimmage,” Heupel said. “Got some good special teams work, did some normal drive work, but got some coming out and finished it with some overtime. Plays on both sides of the line of scrimmage, offense got some things going early. I thought defense did a really good job in the middle part of the scrimmage getting off the field. Third-down defense was really strong for the most part, and in overtime, I thought the defense did a great job. They played really good football in the overtime period, so all-in-all, a good day’s work.
“Two weeks and change away from kickoff, we have a lot of things we need to continue to clean up on both sides of it. The communication side I thought could have been better offensively, just some of the mechanics stuff, but all-in-all, good work. It also lets us know where we have to improve before we get to Nashville.”
