Photos: Thousands attend Tennessee's evening scrimmage at Neyland Stadium
Traffic complaints after an open practice?
Without question, Tennessee fans are anxious for the start of 2015 football season.
The Vols held an open scrimmage on Saturday inside Neyland Stadium in front of an estimated 40,000 strong wanting to catch a glimpse of Team 119.
Picked as an Eastern Division contender this season, Tennessee’s hoping to use last season’s solid ending and a heavy helping of national momentum during the offseason to challenge for an SEC title this fall with one of college football’s most talented rosters.
