No. 15 Tennessee scrimmaged for a second time in fall training camp at Neyland Stadium on Thursday. The Vols’ second scrimmage is after 11 practices in camp in preparation for the 2024 football season.
Rankings reflect the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll.
Fourth-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media after Thursday’s scrimmage.
“Great to get back inside of Neyland, scrimmage again,” Heupel said. “All in all, I thought the scrimmage went really well. Offense, defense, got a lot of good-on-good work on special teams, too. Trying to continue to find the right guys on those units. Got a chance to work some situational football, work some crowd noise, as well, like it was road game. I thought the day went really well.”

Both sides of the football, guys made some plays.”
