The toughest stretch of Tennessee's season just got tougher.
The Volunteers face a stretch of four ranked teams in the next five weeks, and they'll have to navigate it without quarterback Tyler Bray, who fractured the thumb on his throwing hand late in Saturday night's loss to Georgia when he hit it on the helmet of Bulldogs linebacker Christian Robinson.
The sophomore's recovery time is an estimated six weeks, according to a UT release.
See Monday's Times Free Press for more on this story.
Patrick Brown has been the University of Tennessee beat writer since January 2011. A native of Memphis, Brown graduated from UT in May of 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism/Electronic Media and worked at the Knoxville News Sentinel for two years on the sports editorial staff and as a freelance contributor. If it’s the NBA, the NFL or SEC football and basketball, he’s probably reading about it or watching it on TV. Contact him ...
Now Bray's inflated stats all coming against crummy teams over the last 2 years will stay in place
Gee I wish he could heal up in time to play against MTSU. He dominates tiny college teams. It's just that darn SEC he struggles with.
Could be worse. If Fulmer was still the coach they could lose to more teams like Wyoming.
Besides, Bray wasn't struggling in the passing stats against either Fla or Georgia. It's TN's complete lack of a run game that kills their chances for wins.
I'm glad he was available for almost all of the Georgia game. If he had missed it, Vols fans would have sobbed, "If we'd a-had Tyler Bray, he would've thrown 4 touchdowns." Yeah, right.
Your probably some of the same people who talked the same crap about Manning, who only turned out to be the greatest quarter back the game has ever seen.
Are you seriously comparing Bray to Manning ? What a joke. . . .
All you need to read is jomo11's first comment. Hahahahahahah
Blah blah blah...... Bray had key dropped passes in the Florida and Georgia games. Not to mention recievers being mugged and no calls on obvious interference penalties. The kids gonna be great, why ya gotta hate?
Speaking of receivers: Duh-Rick Rogers tweeted tonight "this ain't no fun at all anymore." Evidently when the Vols recruited him, they failed to tell him there would be SEC teams on the schedule, along with all the glorified high school teams.
Rogers was really running fast in that video the Knoxville news station showed last summer when DaRick was running to the car after Rodgers left jail from his arrest. . .
