KNOXVILLE – Taken out of context, Butch Jones offered the answer Tennessee football fans have been waiting for during his news conference following a weather-shortened Orange and White Game.
“Quinten Dormady won it,” the fifth-year Volunteers coach said.
Jones’ answer came in response to a question about who won the quarterback skills challenge at halftime.
The challenge to replace Joshua Dobbs as Tennessee’s starting quarterback is continuing to the summer as an apparent stalemate, even after a strong performance from Dormady during Saturday’s 15th and final spring practice.
Dormady flashed his capabilities to about 20,000 fans at Neyland Stadium during the intrasquad game with a 10-for-10, two-touchdown performance against a shell of the Vols’ 2017 defense.
