Tyler Bray helps Tennessee avoid first winless SEC campaign

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tyler Bray threw four touchdown passes without an interception Saturday as Tennessee defeated Kentucky 37-17 to assure that the Volunteers wouldn't go winless in Southeastern Conference competition for the first time in school history. Bray went 20-of-34 for 293 yards Saturday and threw touchdown passes to four different receivers. He passed for 3,612 yards and 34 touchdowns this season, the second-highest yearly total by any Tennessee quarterback in either category. Peyton Manning threw for 3,819 yards and 36 touchdowns in 1997. This season finale between two of the SEC's worst teams pitted a lame-duck coach against an interim head coach. The game drew an announced crowd of 81,841 at Neyland Stadium, though it appeared there weren't more than 60,000 fans actually in attendance.
