Morning gang. With just over a week before the Vols’ season opener against Appalachian State, Butch Jones held a “mock game” at Neyland last night, looking to test Team 120’s “mental intensity” (Peak Jones, that) across 80-90 snaps.
While the depth chart is pretty much sorted out (the post-Chance Hall offensive tackle shuffe aside), there’s still a number of competitions going on for backup and rotation slots, with freshmen Nigel Warrior and Baylen Buchanan in particular standing out in the secondary over the weekend, at least according to JRM. Additionally, sophomore Quinten Dormady will start the season as backup quarterback, per Butch Jones’ post-practice presser last night.
