Tennessee Vols football coach Jeremy Pruitt recapping his team’s fourth spring practice leads the Volunteers news for Wednesday, March 28, 2018.

Welcome to the final Wednesday in March. The Tennessee Vols had an eventful Tuesday with a game in one spring sport and a football practice. Both of those things lead our news on Rocky Top for this morning.

We also have something to look ahead to tonight that involves future Tennessee Lady Vols. Comments made by one of them is a story on its own as well.

Simply put, there’s a decent bit to get to. But let’s start with the recap of another football practice. This one was a bit interesting.

Tennessee football head coach Jeremy Pruitt recapped the Vols fourth spring practice Tuesday. He noted that he was “ticked,” and he wasn’t sure if it was at the whole team or just at the defense for getting beat by the offense.

"Tennessee is installing new schemes on both sides of the ball, and he said mental mistakes relating to the information overload were a problem for his defense on Tuesday."
