"After 2 days of practice, UT coach Jeremy Pruitt said he's seen good and bad from his QBs. The good: arm talent, leadership qualities and can extend plays. The bad: inconsistencies in accuracy, changing protection or run game, throwing on time, throwing to the right spot"
"Pruitt on his quarterbacks: `They wouldn't be here if they didn't have ability. We've got to get them to be consistent, understand what we're trying to get done, make the guys around them better.' "
"Asked if one of the August challenges is finding cornerbacks, Pruitt said: `I'd say every position. We're trying to figure out who's got the ability to execute, who can sustain, who's got the right competitive toughness about them.'"
"Pruitt said LB Daniel Bituli has size, speed and a `pretty good understanding of what we're trying to get done. He seems to have some maturity about him and he has affect on his teammates.' Pruitt said LB unit has `lots of competition, which will make them all better.'"
"Pruitt said it's a `positive' seeing some veterans tell younger plays to redo drills not done right: `One of the most important things is having the courage to confront people, so it's good that we've got some guys that feel like they're vested enough' to confront a teammate"
"Pruitt said he could see a different in strength numbers for players but you're `looking for football strength.' He said guys had added mass but you can tell more `as the season goes along.' He also said strength can help prevent injuries."
"Pruitt said he liked the retention of players from the spring. He said he thinks the WRs can be good blockers and blocking `starts with want to. We have some big men which should be a plus on the perimeter.'"
