For the defensive line, the work looked to be much more specific working on various gap responsibilities against Florida's run game. Some more extensive work the the second unit that included Paul Bain, Matthew Butler and Emmit Gooden as well.
Riley Locklear—who finished the game playing well last week at left guard—got work at both guard spots today. Chance Hall, who almost exclusively has worked at guard, got some reps at left tackle today. Hall did not play a snap last week. Trey Smith was working solely at left tackle
Interestingly at tight end, and this may have been going on for awhile but was just now noticed, Ja’Quain Blakely worked off to the side working on the blocking dummy for a couple of periods aside from the other tight ends, maybe suggesting that he’s going to be moving into more of a full time fullback role.
-Brent HubbsTennessee's receivers continue to catch the ball well in the parts of practice we get to watch. Jauan Jennings seems to be not only getting his legs back but also getting his confidence back.
Freshman defensive lineman Kingston Harris appeared to be working with the offensive line on Tuesday. The 6-foot-3, 316-pounder, who wears No. 54, was working primarily at right guard during position drills with the offensive line.
Every player worked at their usual positions, though Riley Locklear appeared to get more work than usual at center and Chance Hall, who didn't play against UTEP, continued to work primarily at left tackle. Jerome Carvin and Drew Richmond worked alongside each other at right guard and right tackle, with Ryan Johnson at center and Jahmir Johnson and Trey Smith at left guard and left tackle.
Quart'e Sapp, who was held out of the UTEP game with a bone bruise, appeared to go through drills normally without any limitation.
-Patrick BrownTuesday's open period included routes-on-air with the quarterbacks throwing to the wide receivers, and the Vols appeared to be pretty crisp during that period. There didn't appear to be too many footballs hitting the ground as Tennessee worked primarily on its short-to-intermediate passing game.
