Producing more big plays offensively has been among the chief goals for the Tennessee Volunteers during their fifth spring under coach Josh Heupel.
They got a chance to put that on display Monday night inside Neyland Stadium.
“I saw some big plays,” Heupel said afterward in a news conference. “I thought our young receivers did a good job in their first opportunity in this environment. They went out and made plays, so I like what I saw on that.”
Monday’s first scrimmage, which was closed to the media, was the eighth spring practice overall for the Vols. They will scrimmage a second time next Monday morning.
Tennessee opened spring workouts March 7 but is suddenly closing in on the Orange & White game, which is set for April 12.
