KNOXVILLE – Tyler Bray is about to see the best defense he’s seen in his brief career as Tennessee’s starting quarterback.
It looks like he’ll have his usual protection for what he can’t see, though.
Junior left tackle Dallas Thomas, who sprained his right knee in extra-point protection during the third quarter of the Volunteers’ win against Cincinnati, probably will play Saturday against 16th-ranked Florida in Gainesville. He is the oldest starter in the UT offensive line.
“We expect him to play,” coach Derek Dooley said after Tuesday morning’s practice. “We’re on pace.”
That pace had Thomas limited during Tuesday’s workout.
