going into his junior season, bray and the rest of the volunteers entered the 2012 season with very high expectations, but those expectations never panned out on the field. the 2012 season was bray's only season where he started all 12 games for the volunteers. the season started off promising in the chick-fil-a kickoff game at the georgia dome in atlanta against nc state. the volunteers defeated the wolfpack by a score of 35–21. in the victory, bray had 333 passing yards and two touchdowns. after a 51–13 blowout win over georgia state, tennessee entered the conference slate looking to finally achieve long-awaited victory over some conference rivals. however, against florida, the season began to fade. in the 37–20 defeat, bray performed well in the first half but had a lethargic second half. in the loss, he passed for 257 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. the loss against the gators, which was the program's eighth consecutive in the rivalry, exposed a serious problem with the volunteers in the 2012 season, which was their defense. over the course of the rest of the season, bray mostly played well but mainly because it was a necessity to offset the mediocre defense. the next week, the vols defeated akron by a score of 47–26 with bray passing for 401 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception. the next week, against georgia bulldogs at sanford stadium, bray passed for 281 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions in the 51–44 loss. two weeks later, the vols faced mississippi state at davis wade stadium and lose by a score of 41–31. in the loss, bray had 148 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. the next week, against alabama, bray did not fare well against the eventual national champions. he had 184 passing yards and two interceptions in the 44–13 home loss. the following game was against south carolina at williams-brice stadium. bray performed statistically well in the 38–35 loss. he recorded 368 passing yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. the next week against the troy trojans at home marked a career day for bray but a very ominous reality for the tennessee football team as a whole. in the 55–48 victory, bray set a school-record with 530 passing yards and five touchdowns. bray's performance was needed though as the tennessee defense gave up a school-record 721 total yards to the trojans. peyton manning previously held the school record with a 523-yard performance against kentucky in 1997. the next week, the vols, still in contention for bowl eligibility, faced the missouri tigers at home. the tigers ended up outlasting the vols in 4ot by a score of 51–48. bray had 404 passing yards and four touchdowns in the loss. in the following game against vanderbilt at vanderbilt stadium, bray had his worst game of the season. bray had 103 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the 41–18 loss. he was benched in the game for justin worley in a move by head coach derek dooley. the loss eliminated tennessee from bowl eligibility and dooley was fired after the game. in the final game of his tennessee career, bray performed well against the kentucky wildcats at home. in the 37–17 victory, bray had 293 passing yards and four touchdowns.
