Fast Five: Tennessee Vols football Wednesday practice
STRIPLING: As guys mature they will gain more playing time. We are building our pool.
STRIPLING: We have had a great week of practice. We have re-focused. If everyone does their job we will be alright.
STRIPLING: This is an important game for our program. It is always important for our Gainesville guys @mr_rockytop and @RockyTopMonster
ELDER: Getting Ethan Wolf back was great. He made some really nice plays adding another element.
ELDER: Evan Berry and Elliott a Berry have done a nice job with an expanded role on special teams. @Cortez_mcdowell is seeing more time too
ELDER: Matt Darr really took a step forward. He's had a better this week than last week.
MAHONEY: I can't say enough to about Jacob Gilliam. This is a guy who will not accept that fact that he might not be able to play again.
MAHONEY: Gilliam came to us and said " I'm not done." He refuses to sit out. He's moving around well. He keeps wanting more.
BAJAKIAN: I feel good about our receivers in general. It was good to see @joshuamalone03 step up.
BAJAKIAN: Derrell Scott has been seeing more reps and we are getting more comfortable with him seeing time.
BAJAKIAN: I have a lot of confidence in the whole RB crew whether it's Lane, Hurd, Young.
BAJAKIAN: The more weapons you have the more ways you have to create plays.
BAJAKIAN: These freshmen have stayed very focused in light of everything (football, academics, personal lives)
BAJAKIAN: Don't lose sight of the fact that all of these guys keep getting better, North, Howard have been here, but still have a way to go.
GILLESPIE: @MrHurd_1 is a focused kid, he's what they say today "turned up."
GILLESPIE: When Derrell Scott has the confidence we will put him in. I will try to get him some early reps. He's done well this week.
GILLESPIE: Marlin Lane is ready to go. He understand how big this season is to the program and how big this weekend is
GILLESPIE: This is a running ball league. The team that controls 3rd and short has a chance to control the game. We have a challenge.
