I agree. I see both Bray and Hunter staying for their senior campaign. The likely player to head to the league after next season is Rogers.
Yea, Im sure the coaches weren't expecting our run game to be that big of a problem but Bray has to be willing to put in the extra work in the film room too. He can exploit any pass defense he sees but he isn't very good in managing or controlling the run game. The stats don't lie. We had our best running games when Simms was our qb against the two top defenses in the league. Thats not by luck. Bray has to get better at seeing the holes and reading defenses better for the running game.
Bray hasn't shown the ability to check into a good run play yet. That shows that he hasn't done such a good job of reading defenses or looking at film to this point. If he improves this aspect of his game next season, UT has the best offense in the country.
...Oh yeah, and Hackenberg is a great talent at QB! Go Vols!
The reason we had better results running the ball when simms was in was because of his shortcomings not because he manages the run game better. He cant complete passes like tyler so naturally they had to run it more. I feel like a big part of the success can also be attributed to running more under center plays. I hate how long it takes to develop shotgun running plays. when u dont have a very dominant line u cant expect them to maintain blocks that long. The rbs werent helping either. If ur going to run a slow developing play the rb better be getting upfield as soon as he touches rhe rock not dancing around.

-Rivals."It's been really good to me," Hackenberg said. "It has been really eventful these last two or three months. Alabama has been hitting me hard, South Carolina, Miami, Penn State, Tennessee. They have amped up their recruiting for everybody. I think they are looking to go after a quarterback for the (20)13 class to build their class around."
Could be Burns also
Hackenberg committed to Penn State coach Bill O'Brien last night. Cats outta the bag.
I said before that PSU would get a big QB commit, and a lot of them were jockeying to play for O'Brien, who can always say he coached Tom Brady on the recruiting trail.
