KNOXVILLE — It was a stretch to think Tennessee could stretch the field last season. One year later, it's become a reality.
The deep pass was a rarity for the Volunteers in 2007, mostly because of an offensive scheme that stressed shorter passes and a quarterback who, shall we say, didn't have the strongest arm.
But through one game this season, UT already has proved a willingness to take more chances down the field. And despite some inconsistencies in the loss at UCLA, deep routes are something opponents will have to scheme for, starting with UAB this weekend.
"We know those are low percentage throws, but if you can hit one or two of those, I think it forces them to do different things on defense," first-year UT offensive coordinator Dave Clawson said. "And that's really one of the failings of the (UCLA) game. We had a number of opportunities to get the ball down the field and didn't execute."
Last season UT only had 10 pass plays that went for more than 40 yards or more. Three different players completed those passes, including former quarterback Erik Ainge, current quarterback Jonathan Crompton and receiver Lucas Taylor who tossed a 56-yard pass on a trick play.
