Tennessee held their first scrimmage of the spring on Saturday afternoon inside of Neyland Stadium. Though we couldn’t watch it live, Josh Heupel took to the podium to recap the day — and it was clearly a day that the defense won.
The Volunteers, entering the post Hendon Hooker era, didn’t miss much of a beat down in Miami against Clemson in the Orange Bowl. However, it was the defense that stole the show against the Tigers. That theme continued on Saturday.
“The ability to get off the field — I thought they tackled well,” Josh Heupel said of his defense.
