Tennessee wide receiver Justin Hunter looks for running room during practice.KNOXVILLE – The offense’s other dimension is finding more success, and the opposite side’s receiver is garnering more attention with his dazzling talents.
The opposing defensive coordinators have his name near the top of their game plans, too.
That combination of factors have quieted Tennessee receiver Justin Hunter’s chances and production the past two games, and the Volunteers are looking to make more noise with their talented wideout.
“Sometimes those things happen,” offensive coordinator Jim Chaney said Wednesday morning after Tennessee finished practice. “We don’t want them to happen because he’s such a talented good football player. We’re going to try to keep that from happening again and be conscious of it.
“We’re running the ball a little bit better [so] we’re not having to throw every ball at him. That’s a little bit different, too, but we’ve got to try to find ways to get him the ball. I don’t know if it’s much what the defense is doing.”
