Around SBN: Georgia 26, Tennessee 14: A Vol Fan Reacts Bar-right-arrows



ESPN's Chat with Dave Clawson....

Some choice quotes...

How much different to the longtime Tennessee fan will this offense look?

Dave Clawson: Some of the plays won't look that much different. The way we look and the formations we line up in may look different. David Cutcliffe did a lot of good things here. One of the reasons I got the job is that my philosophy is not that much different from what they did under coach Cutcliffe.

 

What did you see out of junior quarterback Jonathan Crompton in the spring?

DC: He's a tough kid who works hard and seems to pick things up pretty quickly. The thing he needs to work on is his consistency with decision-making. It's one thing to be a backup quarterback and play 10 or 12 plays and be good. Now he's in a situation where you have to go out there for 12 weeks and make 80 good decisions and make enough of those good decisions that we're hopefully playing for 13 and 14 weeks."

Translation:

“Some of the plays won’t look that much different.”
Read: Let’s keep the plays that don’t stink.

Or so I hope. :) But in all honesty, I really like the candor with which Clawson speaks. He is very good at being honest about things that are ok to talk about, clamming up about things that should be secret (e.g. what the offense will look like), and being very respectful of everybody in the process. I imagine that the practice sessions are very “eyes on the prize” kinda times.
