0:00.0	Welcome into Rocky Talk, the Daily Tennessee Podcast. My name is Josh Ward. I'm excited to be with you here today to begin the week. Thanks for being along as I hope you had a great weekend. Tennessee had a busy weekend on the practice field.
0:19.1	The Valls practiced Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon, and Sunday
0:24.3	was scrimmage time for Tennessee.
0:26.3	The Valls got in about 116 plays on Sunday during the scrimmage on today's show.
0:31.9	You will hear Jeremy Pruitt talk a little bit about the scrimmage, talk about Tennessee's

1:34.0	cleared. The anticipation at the start of camp was August 19th or 20th, and Jeremy Pruitt said
1:40.0	Sunday, that is still the case. On Saturday, when the early portion of Tennessee's practice was
1:45.5	open, it was only open for a few minutes, but the individual drills we were able to watch
1:50.4	included Trace Smith getting in some light contact work. He looked like he was doing more than
1:56.4	we had seen up until that point. That's a good sign it would seem for Trace progress, as according to
