Tennessee practiced for the seventh time during the spring Saturday.
The Vols’ seventh practice was Tennessee’s first scrimmage.
Second-year head coach Josh Heupel discussed Tennessee’s scrimmage.
“I think for us, obviously we are a year further ahead than where we were in the first scrimmage a year ago,” Heupel said. “More than anything, you try to compare where you are at in each phase of your spring. I thought kids handled it. There were not a lot of issues pre-snap on both sides of the football for the most part. I thought they were efficient in the way they communicated, getting lined up, in particular on the defensive side of the football.
“You know, I thought our young guys actually handled the day pretty well. There were some competitive plays at the end in some competitive situations where they got to make a play and maybe didn’t do it. That comes with growth, more opportunities and learning.”
