Josh Heupel details what he hopes to accomplish in Orange & White Game

2021 Tennessee Vols’ football spring practices.

Tennessee will hold its annual Chevrolet Orange & White Game Saturday at Neyland Stadium.

Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m. EDT. SEC network+ will broadcast the game.

Following Tennessee’s 11th practice, its second scrimmage during the spring, first-year head coach Josh Heupel discussed what he hopes to accomplish in Saturday’s Orange & White Game.

“Collectively as a staff, this is our greatest dress rehearsal before we get to next fall,” Heupel said. “The first two scrimmages, we have tried to treat like a game in everything we are doing, for our players to make sure they are prepared and understand how to go play a football game. The communication system, we have tried to do the same thing. You are going to continue to get better, more efficient, more in sync every opportunity you get. Next Saturday’s spring game will be a huge opportunity for our staff to grow and operate efficiently and effectively when we get to next fall and able to kick off for real inside that stadium.

“Speaking of next Saturday, what a great opportunity for guys inside of our locker room to go out and compete in front of their fans, go put on a show but also show the improvements that they have made. It’s an opportunity for them in a real, live situation to go earn trust from their teammates and their coaching staff as well to go prove that they are able to compete at a championship level. Find a way to force us to get them on the field. I’m excited that we get to have the state of Tennessee and Vol Nation here inside of this stadium. It’s going to be a great day, and I look forward to seeing everyone there.”
