Tennessee's ready

Tennessee had a very physical practice today. In the early stages, they did open field tackling for full take to the ground knock the guy on his butt tackling.

No thuds, full tackles. Rare to see on a game week and really rare on a Wednesday. Justin Hunter and Janzen Jackson were the ones being vocal today, and the two have really fired the team up to play the Tigers.

Injury wise, Tauren Poole was out of the red non contact jersey and Chaney said he was ready to roll.

Art Evans remains in red as does Herman Lathers. There's optimism they will play.

Gerald Jones had a great practice today and will certainly play. He is upset the media is saying his comments were dumb and is ready to prove them wrong.

Alot of third down work today as they put the final touches on the game plan and alot of punt coverage work obviously. Tennessee has made it clear they will not kick away from Peterson and instead kick it directly to him and the ST is ready for him. They say he won't even average 15 yards a return.
