I've looked and looked, but can't find the TBray smashmouth takedown of Barnes after the first of his two interceptions.

Bray streaked across the field (I thought he was supposed to be slow?) and put a massive lick on Barnes, who went down like a sack o taters.

So anyway, I think Bray should be coaching tackling drills.

heh.

Anyway, if anyone can find that highlight, pls post it up. I'd like to see it again. I was kind of afraid he hurt himself, but he just popped right back up again.

Bray is one tough mofo. :loco:

Is this the play that Hyams and Warren are speaking about on air this morning? They're down on Bray making a comment about going for a guys knees and lumping it in with the Vandy players diving for our defenders knee from behind during a play. Bray is clearly heard to say he went for the knee, but was this a tackle or a block or a cheap shot? I'm not remembering the play being discussed. If it's bragging about a cheap shot.....wth is Bray thinking making a comment like that? No one is that stupid...I hope.

I loved the effort but I think we all clinched our teeth for at for a second at the moment of contact.

It was a beautiful open field tackle, took his legs out from the front.

Nothing dirty in it at all. Bray punked him.

Of course, he had just punked Bray with the pick. :D

So Bray wasn't making a tackle and obviously wasn't blocking and he admitted going for a guys knee? Wow. I hope those words don't come back to haunt him and UT. Very disappointing.

no their talking about the pick 6.. Bray about got trucked by the first vandy player to catch up to him so instead of getting blown up by the second guy bray dove for his knees.. i see no problem in it.. if he was trying to hurt someone thats one thing but i didnt get that out of what he did

I don't get it. The guy took it all the way but Tyler made an open field tackle? I'm confused.

Ah...I see. Hyams and Warren are making a very big deal out of it this morning though. Brays comment almost makes it sound as though he is trying to take a shot. Hope nothing comes of this.

There is a clip of it on ESPN in the the UT box score section. I admit, I don't know how to link it. Maybe someone on here can.

It was a great tackle...with a bit of force. Not your typical qb tackle.

it was a great tackle. i sat in y10 and it happened right in front of me.. one of the best tackles ive ever seen from our quarter backs def wasnt a Clausen or Ainge type effort.

Yup, here it is.

Watching it again, I see Bray had a great angle on him, so not so much speed required :p

Still, an awesome hit.

If this is what Hyams and Warren are speaking about, they're out of their minds. I'd love to hear the entire conversation in which Bray speaks of "going for the knee". I think they're trying to make something out of nothing. Do they really expect a qb to take on a runner like a LB would? Of course he'd go down low in a situation like that. Heck, our DB's tackle that way all the time. This surely can't be the play that they're talking about. Can't be.

I just watched the interview, he's NOT talking about that play. He's talking about the pick 6. He said one guy came for him, then a second, so he took the second one out.

So basically the dirty vandy players were trying to hurt our star QB when the guy with the ball was 80 yards away and running in the opposite direction, and our boy said 'fk it, bring it, bltch".

Me likey. Fight fire with fire.

Bray's tackle along the sidelines To stop a TD was both legal and a show ofvleadership and will to win. As far as his block low on the Vandy blocker on the pick six it drew a fifteen yard penalty on the in suing kickoff. I had my Binocholers on Bray many times during the game. And Bray was complaining that the Vandy players were go for his hand every time he was tackled, so I think Bray was showing a little payback with his block. I love his competitive spirit.

No, the tackle was clean. The cheap shot was on the pick six, where he was frustrated and blindsided a guy 30 yards behind the interceptor.
