You are Locked-on Balls, your Daily Tennessee Volunteers Podcast, part of the Locked-on

Podcast Network, your team every day.

Welcome into Locked-on Balls, the Daily Tennessee Podcast. My name is Josh Ward.

Thank you for being here today. As Tennessee continues through an off week, the Vols were

off on Monday, although if you check out the Vol football Twitter account, which was also tweeted out by the on VALS Twitter account, you'll see a little promotional video of Tennessee's football team while not on the practice field in the wait room getting back to work, a work week, a work day, as Tennessee described it. So the VALs not on the practice field, they'll be back to work, a work week, a work day, as Tennessee described it.

So the Vols not on the practice field, they'll be back to work today in that regard.

Jeremy Pruitt getting a little work on the recruiting trail done, as that's been a big focus

for this coaching staff.

And with Tennessee not having a game coming up on Saturday, Tennessee's coaches will be focusing

on both recruiting and practice this week.

Tennessee gets some rest for guys who have been beaten up over the last five games.

That's a benefit of having the off week right here in the middle of a really difficult stretch.

Florida and Georgia in SEC play off week, then Auburn, Alabama, South Carolina.

Tennessee can use the rest.

On today's show, something that was said about Jeremy Pruitt's message to his team on Saturday

night after the game.

On Monday, I played the audio of Jeremy Pruitt being pretty emotional, talking about his

football team and the way that it fought against Georgia, especially in the second half.

What an SEC network analyst who played in the SEC thinks Jeremy Pruitt's message was to his football team.

You'll hear that coming up.

David Ubin of the athletics going to stop by.

David covers Tennessee every single day.
