UT's Hughes a Big Guy with Bigger Style

When Tennessee coaches shouted "last play" at last Friday's practice, defensive tackle Montori Hughes reacted as though they said "Montori's play." He burst from his set position, plowed through a blocker and tackled the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage.
It wasn't a one-play or one-day phenomenon. It was a continuation of what you saw in the spring from a 6-foot-4, 310-pound freshman, who, though mildly recruited, sometimes performs as though he is intent on becoming UT's next great defensive tackle.
That's not farfetched, according to head coach Lane Kiffin, who describes Hughes as having "superstar potential." The SEC Rocks!
