Tennessee concluded spring practices Thursday at Haslam Field.
Following the Vols’ final scrimmage and practice, second-year head coach Josh Heupel discussed the tempo of Tennessee’s offense.
“I think it’s more than how fast we’re snapping the ball,” Heupel said. “It’s the efficiency of our players. In the back half of spring ball, even our young guys have operated efficiently. From ball mechanics to eyes, being able to set their feet and get in the ground and the communication up front is a big part of that, too.
“The pictures are changing late, because the defensive line and second level are getting set and getting everybody on the same page. I like where we’re heading in that direction. The last couple of days have been the cleanest that we’ve had. It has to be a point of emphasis as we continue to go.”
Tennessee will kick off its 2022 season Sept. 1 against Ball State at Neyland Stadium.
