Tennessee returned from its Easter Break on Tuesday to find the heat turned up at Haslam Field.
“It was hot, so we had a little weather change and that gets tough,” head coach Derek Dooley said of temperatures in the mid-80s.
“We had a great tempo the first half of practice and then it starts getting on you. You get tired and start finding reasons to quit, to not be disciplined.
“We tailed off a little down the stretch and we’ve got to work on that.”
Tennessee is practicing three consecutive days during the mid-week in preparation for Saturday’s second big scrimmage of spring practice.
“This will be our first back-to-back practices,” Dooley said. “We’re really limiting what we’re putting in now and our focus is on execution. It’s getting used to picking up the pace as far
