Looks like the Tennessee has a bit of a quandry with Hassleback out of practice on Wednesday, and Jake Locker "too sore to throw".

Rusty was reported to have taken most of his work with the first team.

He may not start, but by the sound of it, looks to possibly be the back-up at this point and time - even though there is no significant stance being taken by the coaching staff.

Good luck Rusty!

Hassleback was back in yesterday but doesn't sound like he's 100% certain to start - yet.

Tennessean reporting that OC Chris Palmer is putting together a game plan that will have plays designed for Smith just in case…

Would love for him to get another shot. He got thrown to the wolves last year with a team that had clearly given up on thier Head Coach.

That was a terrible situation he was thrown into (but at least he got a shot).  You imagine if he started against Tebow?  They'd have to play that game at the Vatican  ;D

Please take that as a light hearted joke, thats how I mean it.
