On another sunny day in Knoxville, the Volunteers spent another two-plus hours preparing for the 2014 season.
The open viewing period for the media on Saturday morning provided some one-on-one reps between receivers and defensive backs and the first look at the kickers vying to replace Michael Palardy, whom Tennessee coach Butch Jones called the MVP of last year’s team earlier this week.
Here’s what we saw in Saturday’s practice:
• Immediately after the team’s stretching period, Jones called for some one-on-ones from the 8-yard line between one receiver and one defensive back, and a couple of Tennessee’s new receivers were called to line up.
