KNOXVILLE – With fall semester classes starting Wednesday and game week just around the corner, Tennessee hoped to finish preseason training camp with a solid practice on Monday evening.

The Volunteers are off from practice the next two days and only practice once (Thursday) between now and next week, which leads into the opener against Austin Peay at Neyland Stadium.

Tennessee’s assistant coaches will meet with the media following practice, but here’s a recap of the open viewing portion of tonight’s session.

• Best play, offense: During the Vols’ red-zone period, freshman receiver Marquez North took a handoff running left on a jet sweep, navigated two good blocks from a pair of wideouts and darted into the end zone from 8 yards out.

• Best play, defense: With the second-team offense attempting to convert a two-point play from the 8, freshman walk-on nickelback Devaun Swafford broke up a pass from quarterback Nathan Peterman, and safety Byron Moore was right there to snatch the ball for the interception.
