Defensive star: Cornerback Marsalis Teague broke up four passes, and linebackers A.J. Johnson and Curt Maggitt combined for 19 tackles. Quotable: “We can’t hit him, but the refs ain’t blowing the whistle for us. They just don’t give us the calls. They like to see Tyler Bray throw the ball.”- Smiling defensive end Marlon Walls on why the Vols’ defense had more than the four sacks for which they were credited.
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – The increased commitment level that initiated those summer weightlifting sessions with his offensive-line teammates seems to have paid early dividends for Rajion Neal.
The junior tailback’s performance in the Volunteers’ first training-camp scrimmage Saturday jumped off the page of stats provided by UT.
Nine carries, 134 yards and a 68-yard touchdown.
“He ran great,” coach Derek Dooley said after the Vols’ 120-play afternoon at Science Hill High School’s Kermit Tipton Stadium.
