Josh Heupel recaps Tennessee’s first scrimmage during fall camp.

Tennessee scrimmaged for the first time during fall training camp Tuesday ahead of the 2022 season.

Following the Vols’ scrimmage, second-year head coach Josh Heupel met with media.

“Really good day out there, back and forth between both sides of the ball,” Heupel said. “We were able to get a lot of real football, drive for the offense to be able to play with tempo, and see how the communication and efficiency of movement between plays, really good for our young guys.

“Defensively, we were able to get some of that work against tempo. Also, some situational football. Got some third and short, and actually did some overtime work with those guys again today. Overall, pleased with the effort, strain, competitive nature of it, and some back and forth between both sides of the ball.”

Below are Heupel’s additional analysis of Tennessee’s scrimmage and throughout fall training camp.
