Tennessee Volunteers QB Tyler Bray’s bony arm is like a jai alai stick. Though his listed weight of 193 pounds sounds a little ambitious, the freshman is sending cannonshots downfield on snap after snap, and it’s inevitable that some of these things are going to have to land in Vol hands.
Music City Bowl, Tennessee Vs. North Carolina: Tyler Bray And T.J. Yates Gunnin’, Vols Up 17-14 At Half
Bray has thrown two picks, but he’s also thrown two deep touchdowns, the most recent of which went 45 yards, over the cloud line, and into Daniel Lincoln’s hands to give the Vols a brief lead.
North Carolina Tar Heels QB T.J. Yates, a senior that the announcers cannot stop describing as “grizzled,” responded with a quick and efficient touchdown drive of his own. His 39-yard scoring strike found Erik Highsmith to put the Heels on top at the half.
All of that happened in the final minute-and-a-half, by the way.
Yates is getting help from his running game, with RB Shaun Draughn posting 93 yards and a touchdown, while Bray isn’t. The Vols have all of 17 yards on the ground.
