No. 18 Tennessee held its second scrimmage during fall training camp on Friday at Neyland Stadium. Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Fifth-year head coach Josh Heupel recapped the Vols’ performance after the scrimmage.
“Great day inside of Neyland, second scrimmage,” Heupel said. “Saw us take some strides, just in how we operated both sides of the football, and special teams got good work there too.
“Still a couple weeks before kickoff. We got some growth that we got to go get before we go kick off, but excited about what I saw. Some back and forth during the course of it, and that’s what you want at this time of year.”
Heupel also discussed the Vols’ quarterback play during the second scrimmage.
“I thought both of them handled themselves extremely well, George (MacIntyre) did as well,” he said. “I thought they had taken strides during the last three practices before we got inside of the stadium for today’s scrimmage. Operated with crowd noise and some of those mechanics, as well.
“There was more on the plate. They’ve handled it well. Been good decision-makers and continue to grow, both in understanding what we’re doing, defensive structure and fundamentally. Consistently being accurate with the football. Today they handled that pretty well throughout the course of it.”
