Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Tennessee (L): The eyes of the entire college football world are going to be on the UCLA football program on September 1st when the Bruins officially kick off the Neuheisal era on the WWL. No doubt all of us – the entire Bruin Nation – will be at a fever pitch with excitement. But, the Bruins are going to be taking on a powerful Volunteers team that is coming off a win over Big-10 power Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl, and the SEC East Championship. The Volunteers have their own questions. They will be breaking in a new quarterback who will be looking to replace the dependable Eric Ainge, and a new OC, following the departure of David Cutcliffe (who coincidentally beat out KD for the HCing position at Duke). Dave Clawson, from Richmond, is taking over for Cutcliffe and is going to be running some version of the WCO. Tennessee, true to the spirit of the Fulmer Cup, once again has had an interesting off season. But these guys still have a lot of talent. Jonathan Crompton could emerge as the next dependable TN signal caller. They have a solid group in the secondary and they are used to playing in the big stage. I think this is going to be a close game. However, I am expecting the Vols to pull out this game. The Bruins start the season 0-1.

Hope he's right

I’m dubbing this game The Great Unveiling. It essentially kicks off the season as the first national spotlight game b/c it’ll have the entire day to itself (despite being played later than most first games). It’s also the first glimpse for Vol fans of the Clawfense and for Bruins fans the, uh, Neuheisel era. I have no idea if I spelled his name right, but right now, I’m too tired to look it up.

Go Vols!

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
