UT quarterback Tyler Bray plays in the Orange and White game at Neyland Stadium.KNOXVILLE — Tyler Bray hit a roadblock on his path of progress Tuesday afternoon.
Tennessee’s sophomore quarterback, who according to coaches and teammates made tremendous strides in the summer in improving his game and leadership, struggled in the Volunteers’ first scrimmage of preseason camp at Neyland Stadium.
“I wouldn’t say he took a step today,” coach Derek Dooley said. “Tempo was poor, lot of delay-of-game penalties, never really got in sync, but he makes some throws. That’s what he did.
“But the consistency is nonexistent. It’s enough to drive you crazy.”
According to the stats provided by UT for the closed scrimmage, Bray completed 13 of 29 passes for 165 yards and touchdowns to receivers Da’Rick Rogers and Justin Hunter. The quiet California native was his usual relaxed self later.
