Finally, after eight months of talk, Tennessee fans got their first official look at the Josh Heupel offense in action. The spread, up-tempo system is just about the exact opposite of what we saw from Jeremy Pruitt and Jim Chaney last season, which was a welcomed change of pace.
The results, at least right out of the gates against an inferior opponent, were mixed. The Tennessee offense fired off nicely, manufacturing two quick touchdown drives in a matter of minutes. However, after that, things got tougher. Quarterback Joe Milton’s hot start didn’t last, as he completed just two passes after the first quarter.
