JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Justin Hunter didn't make every play he wanted to make, but he survived his first full-length, full-contact scrimmage since last September's ACL tear.

The fact that he didn't think about it until after the scrimmage is a good sign. A lot of players will focus on not reinjuring a knee after an ACL injury, and their play suffers as a result.

Thanks and +1. I'm still wait and see on Hunter. I think he will be full bore by the 4th or 5th game but i hope it is against Florida.

Totally agree. Plus the fact that he was playing basketball over the summer/spring is also a great sign. I tore my achilles (different injury but similar rehab) and it took me awhile mentally to do anything involving cutting or jumping again. Hunter having no fear is great.

Let's remember to enjoy every moment of watching this guy this year........I will be shocked if he isn't picked in the first 15 next spring.

Glad to see #11 on the field pain free. I hope he is able to have the season of his life and get us a SEC Title. It would be great for them to experience that. Go Vols!!!
