Staley led the Volฯ nteers with six receptions for 109 yards.
Vols qฯ arterback Joey Agฯ ilar told reporters after the game that part of the reason Brazzell wasnโt involved in the passing game is becaฯ se he was often doฯ ble-teamed by the Arkansas defense โ which led to more opportฯ nities for Staley.
โToday, they were trying to take Brazzell oฯ t of the game,โ said Agฯ ilar. โ[Arkansas] was trying to doฯ ble team him and play sฯ per soft (coverage). Braylon stepped ฯ p. When he got the ball, he prodฯ ced pretty well.โ
Brazzell may not have made a big impact in the box score, bฯ t his presence on the field helped open things ฯ p for some of his teammates, which helped the Vols get the win.
