Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

WIN!!!! w00t!!!!! TENNESSEE BEATS NORTHERN ILLINOIS!

Um.... take 'em where you can get 'em?

Negatives are easy to focus on, so let me offer this one positive:

  • Nick Stephens appeared to be comfortable running the offense tonight, completing over 50% with 1 TD and 0 INT.  (The exact figures are currently in conflict, depending on your source.)  Considering that he split reps this week and didn't have significant first-string reps before then, that's pretty good.
  • Oh, and Berry is a stud.  Are you as happy as I am that UT gets him for one more year?

More thoughts and analysis will come later on.  Take it easy this weekend and relax.  Fall is here!

No Breaks

Everything that could go wrong tonight, once again went wrong. The difference was that we had a QB who could make a couple of big plays to still get the W. Hopefully we can put together a complete game next week against UGA.

I completely missed the game, but ....

I’m listening to the after-the-fact radio broadcast. I’ve seen the box score, so I’m not exactly enthused, but hey, maybe there’s something here.

I think the question is

would J. Crompton have thrown that TD pass accurately, or the long pass to G Jones?

I think the answer is

No.

The long pass to G Jones was in some ways more impressive than the beautiful strike (perfectly in stride… happened right in front of my seat! awesome!!!!) to D-Mo… Stephens was under duress in the pocket, but did not panic, and actually took a pretty good shot as he released the ball. Crompton could have made the pass to Moore (probably… most quarterbacks could), but would have never hit Gerald Jones deep.

Berry

Oh, and Berry is a stud. Are you as happy as I am that UT gets him for one more year?

Are we going to?

He's a sophomore this year. He's not eligible for the NFL draft until after next season.

I know it’s a bit of a surprise; it seems that he should be leaving because he played last year. However, he actually played as a freshman, so our timetables are all thrown off.
