Tennessee has taken part in seven spring practices under first-year head coach Josh Heupel.
Thursday’s practice was the Vols’ first scrimmage during the spring.
Following Tennessee’s scrimmage, Heupel met with media and discussed his team’s performance.
“Great day inside of Neyland Stadium,” Heupel said. “We got an opportunity and didn’t know if the weather was going to hold off and ended up being an absolutely beautiful day out there. The guys had a ton of energy and made a bunch of plays on both sides of the football.
“I thought defensively, we started extremely fast, played with energy, got off the field and played assignment sound in particular. Early offensively, as the scrimmage went on, I thought we did a great job of getting into a rhythm, creating some big plays and operating really efficiently with our tempo and our ball mechanics. I thought the quarterbacks did a good job of handling all those things really well throughout the day. We played error-free for the most part. We want to correct some things as far as decision making inside the pocket, but took care of the football. Really good day for us. As far as our first scrimmage, first live action. The guys are going to learn a ton from this, and I’m looking forward to moving on here as we get with them here later this weekend.”
