KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Butch Jones tries to connect with Vol Nation in every possible way. On Saturday, it was with the student body at the University of Tennessee as he welcomed them to a practice at Neyland Stadium.
“(It was a) very productive day, again, thank you to our students for coming out,” said Jones. “Anytime you can get into Neyland Stadium, try to simulate game-like conditions, game speed repetitions, people in the stands, crowd noise, it is very, very beneficial in moving forward and to see how your players will respond.”
Jones has made of point of involving the students and that has resulted in a rise in student attendance at the regular-season games on Rocky Top.
