IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE !!!!

Welcome to another year of Tennessee Football! The Vols opened up this past weekend with a win at home against Montana trampling them by the score of 42-16! Tyler Bray continues to impress after a terrible outing in the spring game earlier this year. Tyler was 17 for 24 with no interceptions. Tennesse had two recievers break the century mark in yards in this game, which has not been since 2007. In addition to going 17 for 24, Tyler also threw for 293 yards and 3 TD's in this game! This marked the seventh consecutive game with 2 or more TD's for Tyler, which tied a record set back in 1997 by no other than Peyton Manning! It was a great start for the Volunteers!
Tyler Bray, who enters this season as a Sophmore, will lead the Vols this season at QB with Matt Simms backing him up. Tyler, even though he did not start the entire season last year still manage to be ranked 3rd in the nation in total passing yards among rookie QB's. Helping Tyler with the offense will be Tauren Poole, who we came to know last year at this time as he had his first 100 yd game in lasts year season opener against Tennessee-Martin. Poole contributed to the win with a ground attack in which he totaled 98yds on 24 carries.
I am hoping that the Vols offensive line makes some improvements going into the season, Tyler was sacked 3 times and it appeared that the offensive line had trouble opening up holes for Poole to run through. Tennessee will play Cincinnatti next week.
