Tennessee safety Byron Moore catches a ball during the first day of spring practice Saturday at Haslam Field. He says the Vols defenders are eager to get a new start and forget last year’s disaster.KNOXVILLE – After a couple of days on the sideline with a tweaked hamstring, Tennessee safety Byron Moore is back on the practice field gearing up for his senior season.
He’s still not focused on whether or not he’ll earn a starting spot over LaDarrell McNeil, though.
Both players missed some time earlier this preseason, but one of the Volunteers’ more intriguing August competitions is back under way.
“We’re not even really looking at the groups,” Moore said following Tuesday afternoon’s practice. “They just throw us in there. We all play. Everybody’s getting reps, so we’re not even worried about who’s first or who’s second right now.
“It’s just what group is in there at this moment and what the [secondary] coach wants in there.”
