Vols' HC Dooley taps QB Simms as starter...for Now

According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, Dooley, speaking to a group of boosters in Cleveland, Tenn., tapped Simms as his starter in the here and how. He made sure to stress, though, that it's premature to state with any type of certainty that Simms will still be atop Tyler Bray on the depth chart when September rolls around.
"We have two that came out of spring that are competing for the job," Dooley said. "Matt Simms is our leader, he's our No. 1 quarterback and has a lot of good qualities about him. Tyler Bray, of course, is young, and he's got a lot of talent, too.
"At the end of the day, they're both new to Knoxville, only been there four months. They're new to the offense, new to all the players around them, so how quickly they can get up to speed with all that will determine how quickly they can play to their capacity. We're just going to stay the course. It's real premature to know who's going to be our guy." Our money at SEC Football Online(if we were betting men)is on Simms to take the snaps over center in the opener.
