Tennessee Spring Game 2016: Live Score, Top Performers and Analysis
There were plenty of injured players who didn't play, but the Tennessee spring football finale was still a whole lot of fun for a SEC Network television audience as well as more than 67,000 fans who watched in Neyland Stadium.
The Orange team (defense) came out with a 70-63 win, but the score was secondary. Saturday was about individual development, and the Volunteers saw plenty of positive things from some guys who they'll depend on.
It all starts with senior quarterback Joshua Dobbs, who completed 5-of-9 passes but was sharp throwing the ball for the most part despite a receiving corps decimated by injuries. Preston Williams and Jeff George were impressive, and with Alvin Kamara and Jalen Hurd out, sophomore runner John Kelly impressed, too.
On defense, Quart'e Sapp and Corey Vereen shone, among others, and the Vols wound up with a lot of positives on a day where most of the biggest names didn't play all that much. Coach Butch Jones seemed impressed.
"We're starting to develop some depth," he told the SEC Network's Jerry Punch afterward. "We're still not there yet, but this will be a good teaching tool as we start to grow our identity for Team 120.
"It was really great for our younger players to get out here and compete in front of 67,000-plus."
