PrintSaw something very cool over at Bruins Nation today, which I immediately endeavored to steal. I figure it's okay, because the merchandise is hot anyway, having originally been stolen from SB Nation Angels blog Halos Heaven.
Here's the idea. Each Game Day, we'll post three questions about that day's Tennessee game. You post answers in the comment thread. Answer correctly and you get points. A few days later, we'll compile that week's results and update the season standings. Prizes? Hopefully.All right, then. Here are this week's Pregame Guesses:
- How many times does Gerald Jones line up at QB (within one)?
- Who gets an interception first? Eric Berry, Demetrice Morley, somebody else, or no one?
- How many total yards does Arian Foster gain (within 20)?
Just put your answers in THE SUBJECT LINE of your response to this thread. For example, the subject line of your post might be:
5, Berry, 160
or
2, somebody else, 135.
Have fun, and Go Vols!
[Note by Joel, 09/01/08 6:31 PM EDT ] Hey. I'm thinking about awarding a point each for the most and best comment in-game comment, too. Cheap way to get more comments? Uh-huh. But everyone loves points, right?

3, Morley, 180
Most iffy on Morley. I think folks will be staying away from Berry, which means more opportunity for Morley, but they’re just two guys, and there are nine others, or at least five others, who could get in on the action first.
Go Vols!

2, somebody else, 80

2, Somebody else, 105
2 times, once in the redzone once on 3rd down, saving some tricks for florida, 3rd string qb off the street… the first pick will be some sort of deflection or mistimed short pass to a linebacker. Foster has a solid outing but splits reps.
How about t-shirts?
Anybody up for t-shirts?
Go Vols!

2, D-Mo,187
They can’t possibly be dumb enough to throw the ball ANYWHERE NEAR E-Berry. Can they? T-shirts. Good idea.
I've got something for you young man. Ooohh, it's...Thaa Claawww! Oh, you're afraid of The Claw!!
Ah
But see? That’s the problem.
Berry is everywhere!
Go Vols!

3, D-Mo, 110
I figure that Clawson won’t use the G-Gun opening game, of course, if they are smart, they won’t throw anywhere close to Berry, and i figure that they will give the three amigos( foster, hardesty, and creer) but he will still get over 100.

Reasons for my picks:
4 gives me a range of 3 to 5. That’s good for any 1/quarter pace and sounded as reasonable as any guess.
Berry – precisely because of his range. I think Chavis will find a way to move him around early and fluster the new QB.
110 – I’m hoping for a run game with one or two big gains. I can’t see anything huge, given how many back we have, but I can see a consistent gain if the O-line wins the trench war.

- How many times does Gerald Jones line up at QB (within one)?
I’m going with Two. Because I’m a gambler that way
- Who gets an interception first? Eric Berry, Demetrice Morley, somebody else, or no one?
Eric Berry. And I’m thinking at least 3
- How many total yards does Arian Foster gain (within 20)?
I’m going on a limb here because UCLA hasn’t had a defense in a year or two and I’ll say 200 yards

Tennessee – 30
UCLA – 13
