Welcome into Locked-on Balls, the Daily Tennessee Podcast.

My name is Josh Ward.

Thank you for being here today.

Tennessee is only a couple of days away from kicking off against Auburn on Saturday, noon kickoff

Eastern Time, 11 a.m. their local time on today's show. You will hear from Tennessee head coach

Jeremy Pruitt. A couple of notes from him after practice on Wednesday. We were able to see a little bit

Also on today's show, Will Shelton of Game Day on rockytop.com.

I always enjoy his work and getting his perspective on Tennessee, what's going on with the program, how fans feel about what's happening right now.

So Will Shelton of Game Day on Rocky Top coming up today, and you'll hear from Auburn coach Gus Malzahn on Jared's little bit quarterback trying to fix some of the issues.

Tennessee is going to try to stop that from happening, of course, and Gus Malzahn's thoughts on going up against Jeremy Pruitt. These guys know each other pretty well as competitors. That's all coming up here on Locked on Valls. It's the Daily Tennessee podcast. Five days a week talking about what's going on with Tennessee. Available on Apple Podcasts.

and a couple of kind of personnel notes on the offensive line. I think we're waiting to see

exactly what Tennessee will do on Saturday. Jerome Carvin is the backup center. So while the media

has been there on Tuesday and Wednesday, we've seen the freshman who has started all but the
