The Vols took the practice field for their last bit of fall camp that’s open to the media on Thursday. Game week officially begins next week as Tennessee prepares to take on Georgia Tech in their season opener. But today was still all about camp, and the Vols were rearing and ready to go on the practice field.

Dropped balls plagued the receivers during pass catching drills later on in practice. Two or three receivers dropped balls running routes around practice dummies. There weren’t quite as many drops during timing routes with the quarterbacks, but there were still several balls hitting the ground from the wide receivers today.

The intensity from offensive line coach Walt Wells was high today, as it is every day. He worked extensively with his group on technique and getting push down the field. Trey Smith was particularly impressive with his drive down the field.

We’ve seen a ton of timing patterns from the receivers and quarterbacks this fall, and everything we saw today seemed much more fluid and on pace than it was at the beginning of fall camp. Tennessee’s receivers, though they had a small number of drops, look to be fairly in sync with both Quinten Dormady and Jarrett Guarantano.

Here are a few more notes and observations from today’s fall camp practice:
