Jeremy Pruitt discusses expectations for Tennessee's spring game
The Tennessee Volunteers are one of five SEC teams — along with Alabama, Mississippi State, Georgia and LSU — that will hold spring games this weekend.
New coach Jeremy Pruitt has been tight-lipped about his team this spring, but fans will get to see the Vols in action for the first time on Saturday afternoon.
On Tuesday, Pruitt discussed some of his expectations for Saturday’s game, saying he expects it to be very similar to a real game:
#Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt is hoping for 80 or so plays for both sides of the ball in Saturday’s Orange & White Game. Like a game.

Jeremy Pruitt on Orange & White Game weekend plans: "I'm trying to get our football team to play at its best. I'll be focused on that and recruiting.”
(In other words, he's not gonna be on a microphone.)

He added that the big thing he expects to see from his offense is ball security, as the Vols won’t have much margin for error this fall:
Pruitt says the first thing he will talk to his players about before Saturday is ball security.
