WATCH: Tennessee releases 'work week' hype video
Tennessee may have an open date Saturday, but that doesn’t mean the Volunteers are taking it easy this week.
The team’s official Twitter account posted a video Monday morning featuring footage from some intense training sessions. Instead of treating this portion of the schedule as a bye week, Tennessee is embracing it as a “work week.”
Bye week?
No. Work week.#PoweredByTheT pic.twitter.com/WVFPFa6osz

The Volunteers appear to still be motivated despite a lackluster start to the season. Tennessee went 2-3 through the first month of the year, going winless in SEC play thanks to a pair of 26-point losses against Florida and No. 2 Georgia.
Unfortunately for the Vols, things won’t get any easier when they return to action. Tennessee travels to face No. 8 Auburn on Oct. 13 before hosting top-ranked Alabama the following week.
No wonder the Vols are so locked in during their bye week.
