Tennessee had problems in 2012, but those were not with offensive design. Jim Chaney is a very good, highly respected offensive coach.
Tyler Bray played in a very QB friendly system with a ton of talent around him. That's why Tennessee piled up numbers.
Now, you might say, if Tennessee's offense was so good, that means Bray was equally as good, right?
There's no doubt Bray had his moments. But when Tennessee's offense stalled, it was against defenses that had the athletes to get away with doing more complex things scheme-wise. This is where Bray's trouble with decision making, consistent accuracy and reading defenses held things back.
