DeSean Bishop rushed for 1,076 yards last year for Tennessee and is expected to lead the Volunteers in rushing again this season.
Unless, of course, Daune Morris decides to take his 99-yard touchdown runs from the scrimmages to the games.
The 5-foot-10, 200-pounder from Chattanooga covered the entire field during last Saturday’s first preseason scrimmage inside Neyland Stadium. Morris played at Red Bank High School through his sophomore season before finishing his prep career at Murfreesboro’s Oakland.
“It’s always good to be able to show what I can do in certain areas,” Morris said Wednesday during a news conference, “like just being able to be me in the open field.”
Morris added that he has been clocked at 21.9 mph and that he was at 21.7 during his lengthy score.
