Tennessee ended a quiet weekend by returning to the practice field Sunday night for a 90-minute workout inside the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center.The Vols were off Saturday for the first time since Sept. 6. Focus now shifts to the 2008 season's remaining games against rivals Vanderbilt and Kentucky.
"These guys know how to practice," head coach Phillip Fulmer said. "They actually make me feel better out here for the hour and 40 minutes we spent -- particularly the defensive side of the ball. They had outstanding energy."
Tennessee is looking to close out Fulmer's UT career with a couple of victories, hoping to add to the coach's win total of 150 against just 52 losses during 17 seasons.
Next weekend's opponent, Vanderbilt, is coming off a 31-24 win Saturday night at Kentucky.
"We're a little bit ahead because of the open date," Fulmer said. "We came out tonight and, not having played, were in shorts and shoulder pads. We got in some good tackling and good fundamental work as well as a lot of work on Vanderbilt."
Saturday's kickoff is at 11:30 a.m. Central time in Nashville, with Raycom Sports and the Vol Network carrying the action.
