wes how many times has this happen ,is it brays fault not knowing the plays? sounds like he gets lost or is it the no huddle getting confused? this could have been the reason in florida game where we was saying what was bray thinking on that play?

When Bray calls a play that doesn't exist, it is definitely Bray's fault. Kudos to Downs for having the smarts to make it work.

Happy for him and this is part of Football, but it's concerning coming from a Junior QB with quiet a few snaps under his belt. That kind of stuff will get you beat against the UGAs, UFs, Bamas of the World.

Considering how many FG's we had to kick in redzone vs TD's I'm for calling more wrong plays !

Congrats to Downsy on his first of many TDs for the Big Orange. Seems like a great kid and it is huge to have him back in the lineup. As for Bray, the greatest QBs are the greatest improvisers(Confuscious?) GO VOLS!

Bray may have made a simple mistake, but I get the feeling that this occurs a little more often than it does to other 3rd year QBs. I would think most QBs would be able to teach the offense by their Jr year. I sure hope this isn't the norm.

With Chaney calling plays, I'd wager every time we've scored a TD we didn't run what he called.

I don't know. This is amusing and a little disappointing at the same time. Bray calling out a play that doesn't make sense for the personnel at this point in the game shouldn't be happening. Funny reading though!

With all the talk on OC CJC and his play calls as Wes said the honesty that was shown on several other wrong plays, words that don't exist, and wrong play side calls....maybe that explains a lot more than just bad play calls. Who knows with Tyler saying he did not watch the film...and then wrong plays. Makes you wonder. Last year that was an issue as well IDB.
