Tyler Bray shares SEC Freshman of the Week

The SEC selected Tyler Bray as co-Freshman of the Week on Monday after Bray threw for 354 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-14, bowl-clinching win over Kentucky on Saturday, the third time he's been named to the league's weekly honor roll since he took over the UT offense. Mississippi State running back LaDarius Perkins shared the award. Bray also tossed for more than 300 yards for the third time in November, with more than 200 of them and both touchdowns in the victory over the Wildcats coming before halftime as he helped secure one more start during his freshman campaign. A big part of his success has come from a dynamic relationship with senior Denarius Moore, who went over the 200-yard receiving mark for the second time this season thanks to a handful of deep balls from Bray on Saturday. Moore finished the game with 205 yards on seven catches with a touchdown, earning him an honorable mention spot in the SEC's weekly awards.
