Fall training camp: Vols have ‘awesome day’ during second scrimmage

Tennessee practiced for the twelfth time, its second scrimmage, during fall training camp on Tuesday.

Following Tennessee’s second scrimmage, first-year head coach Josh Heupel met with media and discussed his team’s performance.

Heupel mentioned it was an “awesome day.”

“It was great for our program, our players,” Heupel said. “We got a chance to get out there in the rain and some adverse weather there. I thought special teams, offensively, handled it pretty well for the most part of the day.

“I think it’s awesome and needed for your entire program, all the little things that go on during the course of a game like, so it was good work — back and forth – all phases of the game – offense and defense throughout the course of the day. A lot of really good things that we saw out there.”

Tennessee will kick off the 2021 season on Sept. 2 against Bowling Green at Neyland Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 8 p.m. EDT.
