Fall camp: Josh Heupel recaps Tennessee’s second scrimmage
Following the Vols’ second scrimmage during fall training camp, head coach Josh Heupel met with media.
“A great day, always good to get inside of the stadium here,” Heupel said. “First of all, it looks great, but a big day for our players and staff. A great day, too. We had a bunch of families that were here to share in the scrimmage, and they’ll get an opportunity to spend some time with their kids here this afternoon, too, before we come back in the building this evening. Excited about them getting a chance for myself and my staff to see them, as well.
“I thought there were a bunch of positives today in the scrimmage. We played cleaner on both sides of the football — executed. I thought alignment, assignment, eyes on keys, being lined up and ready to go on the defensive side of the football, tackling in space. I thought we did a much better job in those areas than we did in the first scrimmage. Offensively, at times we were efficient and played with great pace and handled the communication side of it at a really high level, too, so a bunch of positives. I know there will be a bunch of things we’re going to need to clean up, too, when we go back and watch the tape this afternoon.”
