Jones: Worley 'Gaining Confidence'
2 minutes ago
Tennessee coach Butch Jones said Tuesday that senior quarterback Justin Worley is continually gaining confidence practice in and practice out.
Jones praised Worley for going through (his) progressions and throwing a checkdown pass to junior receiver Johnathon Johnson in goal-line work during the portion of Tuesdays practice that was open to media.
Theres a clock in your head, as a quarterback, and also understanding situational football and areas on the field, and that was great to see, Jones said of Worley. I see Justin continually gaining confidence practice in and practice out.
After Mondays practice, Jones said the Vols are getting closer to naming a starting quarterback, and they could name a starting quarterback at some point this week if things go the way theyve been going.
Worley is competing with sophomores Joshua Dobbs and Nathan Peterman for the starting job.
