I hope the new, matured and improved Bray is true, and that he has become better at dissecting the defense, going through his reads and knowing when to dump it off, but he definitely struggled with that last season, and could do so again if he gets frustrated and in a hurry and feeling the pressure to make something happen. | You mean the one that pretty much shredded Cincy while both his great WR's were healthy? If Bray adds ANYTHING to what he brought to the Cincy game last year he's going to be very difficult to stop.
It could also be helpful to note that Cincy played NCSU last year two weeks after getting hammered by UT... and blew them out. State only managed 14 pts against the D that couldn't slow UT's passing game. NCSU lost 3 of their top 4 receivers.
Collaros had 315 total yds vs NCSU and 231 vs UT. He had more passing yards, a better completion %, and higher rating against them too... and would any of us claim that UT's secondary was "great" when they faced Cincy?
NCSU could play over their heads. For some unknown reason UT could play terrible. But if both teams bring a good game... UT should win by at least 10. | |

| If they're ready to see us throw it, they better be ready to see the back of hunter and rogers jersey about twenty yards down the field getting ready to score. | |
