Josh Heupel ‘proud’ of where Vols have an opportunity to go following spring practices.

Tennessee concluded spring football practices on Saturday with its annual Chevrolet Orange & White Game at Neyland Stadium.

Orange defeated White, 42-37.

Following the contest, Josh Heupel recapped the game, calling it “a great day for Tennessee football.”

The first-year Tennessee head coaching mentioned he is “proud of this team, this spring.”

“In a short amount of time that we’ve been here as a coaching staff, the growth that they’ve shown, the accountability that we’re learning how to have every single day, the accountability to themselves, but to each other here is really important,” Heupel said. “Proud of where we’re at and where we have an opportunity to go.

“A group that is becoming connected, playing for each other and growing in the right ways. Proud of what they’ve done here, obviously we have a big portion of our offseason here coming up, as we get into summer conditioning.”

Tennessee will kick off the 2021 season Sept. 4 against Bowling Green at Neyland Stadium.
