SportingNews: Vols tune up for opener against Cal

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee worked on building depth and its game plan against its opponent in the season opener Tuesday evening in a final scrimmage of preseason practice.  The No. 23 Volunteers host ninth-ranked California on Sept. 2.

The players clapped during a huddle after the scrimmage when coach Phillip Fulmer announced preseason camp was complete.

"We have a tired football team. That's pretty obvious. We have gone really hard a lot of days."  The defense won praise for several sacks, batted balls and interceptions. The offense wasn't very flashy although Erik Ainge had a short pass that Arian Foster turned into a 21-yard gain and a 4-yard touchdown pass to Robert Meachem on a rollout.
