You've got to love the fire and passion that Tennessee football quarterback Joey Aguilar plays with, but goodness, he's got to do a better job at sliding and avoiding contact. That's what plenty of Vols fans are thinking in the middle of the action against Alabama.

In the second quarter, Aguilar led Tennessee on a beautiful 10-play drive that was capped off with a short touchdown pass to Braylon Staley to tie things up. However, Aguilar also took a MASSIVE hit on 2nd down and he was down on the turf momentarily.

According to ESPN's Molly McGrath, Aguilar is dealing with a bit of a neck injury right now, with clear 'discomfort' being present there.
