Tennessee Posts Highlight Of Interception From Practice, Bizarrely Blurs QB Who Threw It

From players getting paid millions, to President Trump signing executive orders to save college athletics, the transfer portal being a lawless free-for-all, countless lawsuits, and plenty of other examples, it feels as if we've seen just about all there is to see in the world of college football as the 2025 season fast approaches.

The Tennessee Volunteers, however, showed that they had a never-before-seen trick up their sleeve.

The team's official X account shared a video clip from practice showing Colton Hood intercepting an underthrown pass. At first glance, it looks like a pretty standard play on the football that may look a little nicer with the slow-motion effect, but it's actually the first second of the video that needs to be discussed.

If you look closely, you'll notice the quarterback who threw the pass is actually blurred out in the background.

Tennessee's social media team took the time to edit this video and blur out the quarterback – likely at the request of someone on the coaching staff – to hide the signal caller's identity on a simple underthrown ball that was picked off on the practice field in early August. 

It's incredibly bizarre, but then again, most Power Four programs today don't want any eyes on anything going on during most periods during practice, so blurring a quarterback isn't all that stunning. We're probably only a couple of years away from teams not sharing any content from practice whatsoever with these programs treating them like they're giving away government secrets between plays.

Nevertheless, folks on X understandably made fun of the edit made to the video:

Tennessee opens up its season on Aug. 30 against Syracuse, not in Knoxville or New York, but in Atlanta, because college football loves not making sense.
