Title: UA defense stifles Vols' big time passer Post by: pmull on October 21, 2012, 07:37:43 AM Quote Bray completed only 13 of 27 passes for 184 yards, and threw a pair of costly interceptions before the UT coaching staff opted to play backup Justin Worley in the fourth quarter. Bray entered the game ranked second in the Southeastern Conference in passing yards per game at 288. More than that, he can simply make some throws not every quarterback on the Crimson Tide schedule can make. But with a home crowd behind him and one of the league's more dynamic receiving duos to throw to, Bray simply wasn't able to make enough of them against the Crimson Tide. "One of our goals is to come into a game and rattle the quarterback," linebacker Nico Johnson said. "If we can stop the run and rattle the quarterback, it'll make it more difficult on him." http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1425063 Title: Re: UA defense stifles Vols' big time passer Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 21, 2012, 10:27:34 AM Quote Bray completed only 13 of 27 passes for 184 yards, and threw a pair of costly interceptions before the UT coaching staff opted to play backup Justin Worley in the fourth quarter.

The problem for all of these QB's is they are basically facing a pro style pass defense. Even offensive gys like Petrino struggled against it. :dog: Title: Re: UA defense stifles Vols' big time passer Post by: Old Tider on October 21, 2012, 12:44:09 PM What killed me was when the Vols were on the 3 with 4th down as the game was about over, they kicked a field goal! Too frightened of being embarrassed again by our big D?
