Cooper Mays’ impact in South Carolina game detailed by Joey Halzle.

Senior offensive lineman Cooper Mays made his season debut for the Vols against South Carolina in Week 5.

Tennessee had an open date in Week 6.

Tennessee offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle met with media on Tuesday and discussed Mays’ impact during his return against South Carolina.

“It was huge,” Halzle said. “They were another team that liked to bring a ton of pressure. They changed the front up on us, gave us some unscouted looks, and Cooper did a great job getting us in the right call, getting us all on the same page and allowing us to keep playing fast while we were changing calls and doing all that.

“Just having him in there, I think fresh, physically what he did inside was really impressive, so it was really good to have him back.”
