Tennessee Practice Update!

[Sequatchie]

Tennessee had a full contact Scrimmage Tuesday and the apparently the Offense is looking good especially Sophomore tailback Gerald Riggs was no less than dazzling, breaking off runs of 25, 12 and 10 yards.

 

Riggs' most impressive run came when he cut back and turned it up, shaking strong safety Gibril Wilson in the open field and running through the tackle effort of preseason All-SEC safety Rashad Baker.

 

"It takes all 11 to execute a play,'' Fulmer said. "A lot of people got his (Riggs') butt down there.''

 

Riggs said as much.

 

"Once the fullback got his block, I was able to break it,'' Riggs said. "We're playing more on the defense's side of the ball; it's a lot easier for the backs than it was last year when we were having to make moves behind the line of scrimmage.''

 

Wilson, one of the SEC's better open-field tacklers, shook his head and smiled when asked about being juked.

 

"Riggs is tight; he brings so many different things to the field,'' Wilson said. "He's quick and very strong.''

 

Casey Clausen had a good day throwing the ball as well as backup CJ Leak. Lets all hope that Leak can step it up!
