The Tennessee Vols returned to the practice field Tuesday for the first of two open week workouts.In addition to preparations for the Nov. 22 game at Vanderbilt, UT players and coaches also began planning for Thursday's junior varsity contest against Hargrave Military Academy at Neyland Stadium.
"Those guys are really looking forward to that game," head coach Phillip Fulmer said. "It will be a good experience for them."
Fulmer announced redshirt freshman B.J. Coleman as Thursday's starting quarterback, but said some of the other positions were not yet determined.
"We don't have a lot of depth right now at tailback, so Ja'Kouri Williams will get a shot back there. We've got some linemen who haven't had a chance to play much this year because we haven't stayed on the field long enough, so that will be a good group of guys."
The Vols defeated Hargrave 37-20 in an entertaining 
game last year in Knoxville, but this season's Hargrave squad enters with a perfect 10-0 record. The Tigers of Chatham, Va., carry wins over JV squads from Navy, Averett (twice), Robert Morris, Radford (twice), East Carolina, Marshall and George Mason, in addition to a victory over in-state rival Fork Union Military Academy.
