"Coach, can you give us any information about a front runner for the starting quarterback position?"
"Let me tell you. We've got a very talented group of quarterbacks that are competing for the starting position. Justin Worley just came back from a great performance at Peyton's camp. He's an individual and we're looking for that confidence that comes from his position this year. Joshua Dobbs. He's an individual that has the potential to be a great piece of the future here at Tennessee. Nathan Peterman had a good showing during spring practice and shows flashes at times.
Let me just say, we're in a great position here at Tennessee when it comes to the quarterback position. Justin Worley is in his senior year and he was beginning to show his potential last year before his injury. He's been putting a lot of effort in this off season and I feel like he's really going to show his true potential this year under center.
Joshua Dobbs. What can I say. This is a very bright, talented individual that literally has the sky as his potential. He's a leader on and off the field and I see him doing great things here at Tennessee. Joshua struggled last year at times, but let's not forget that he was a true freshman that was put in against Alabama for his first game. He's got the potential to be a very important brick in the future of Tennessee football. I respect this young man for everything that he has done this off season to further his skills at the quarterback position.
Nathan Peterman had a rough time last year during the Florida game. But don't count him out. He has pushed through that dark time in his career at Tennessee with a positive attitude and his character has grown because of it. Nathan has really shown that mental toughness that we are so focused on here at Tennessee. Competition breeds greatness.
Here at Tennessee we believe in a "earn it" philosophy and the starting job, at any position, will go to the individual that earns it. It doesn't matter if it's under center or in the backfield. The individual that shows me that he deserves to be on the field that week will be on the field."
"Any other questions?"
