Josh Heupel opened his sixth fall training camp at Tennessee on Wednesday. The Vols will kick off their season in one month against Furman at Neyland Stadium.
Tennessee's season opener is slated for 3:30 p.m. EDT (SEC Network+).
Heupel met with media following Wednesday's opening fall camp practice.
“Really good work today on the grass as we start this on-field journey,” Heupel said. “A lot of fundamental work here, early part of training camp. The first couple days, obviously, that continues throughout, but big emphasis on that here today and good to get out there with the guys.
“You're able, you know, throughout the course of the summer, you're able to chip away at some of the scheme work, get some work with your guys, so it's a continued progression
from summer into the start of training camp. Some scheme work, but a lot of fundamental work in all three phases, too. Pads come on here in a couple days and you'll ramp up even more team periods during that."
