Everything DaSaahn Brame Said Leading up to Facing Kentucky

The Tennessee Volunteers offense has been a mixed bag of results so far this year, but one of the brighter spots has been TE DaSaahn Brame. Brame has had some moments he certainly would want back, but overall, he has shown himself to be a weapon for the offense. His catching ability and instincts when he has the ball have been evident.
