'Intense competition' already underway for Josh Dobbs' successor | Times Free Press
A snippet.....
This season and last, Dormady attempted 39 passes in mop-up duty while appearing in 10 total games, all of them blowouts. His strength is passing, and Tennessee would have to tweak its read-option offense to better suit him. He'll be the most experienced quarterback on the roster.
Jones redshirted last season and nearly transferred to Colorado before electing to return to the Vols, for whom he made his debut against Tennessee Tech last month when he attempted two passes.
Many in the program are the most excited about Guarantano and believe the talented former four-star prospect who's redshirting this season is Tennessee's quarterback of the future.
The expectation is the race will come down to Dormady and Guarantano, but all three will have the chance to start impressing their coaches and teammates when the Vols resume bowl practices next week.
"I'll help them out a lot," Dobbs said. "It started (Sunday) in the first bowl practice. They started getting more reps than they had been getting throughout the season. I tried to just coach them up. If they did something wrong, just help them and mentor them. If they did something good, congratulate them and just help them out any way I can."
