Josh Heupel pleased with summer progress in first fall practice

According to first year head coach Josh Heupel, the Tennessee Volunteers got off on the right foot to kick off fall camp on Wednesday. Tennessee is coming out of a traditional, pro-style offense and moving into a hyper-speed spread system. Naturally, you’d be worried about how quickly the team could make a change like that.

Heupel did have a month back in the spring to install his offense, but a summer without on-field action, along with a few new additions out of the transfer portal would have any coach concerned about his team’s retention rate.

“I really feel like for pretty much everybody on the offensive unit, we’re way ahead of where we finished offensively,” Heupel told the media on Wednesday.
