It's not listed in the "Upcoming Games" now
Probably better for me anyway. Doesn’t sound like they got off to the start I’d hoped they would.
the angle on RAYCOM sports is just too acute
the view of the field seems like it’s taken from a position that’s way too high
nice first run by foster

that last one just didn’t feel right at UCLA. of course, it’s easy for me to provide post game / after the fact opinion.

hmmm
i can understand that. i think Phil’s also confident in his defense, so he decided to gamble. this guy crompton has gotta show something on this drive.

Great throw.
Up and away from the defender. But I’m sure that was just an accident, right?

Vols knockin people out of the game again
Maybe that’s not a good idea. The backups did better than the starters last game.
Yeah...
I doubt that’s a real concern with UAB.

Yeah
not happy about that. But it’s not our fault it only takes a couple plays to score.
I've got something for you young man. Ooohh, it's...Thaa Claawww! Oh, you're afraid of The Claw!!
It is our fault we can't stop their offense though
Chief’s already in the prevent defense, ahem, Prevent Defense™
WTF?

Yeah
I’ve had about enough of this zone crap.

And why is E-Berry the only one in the secondary who knows what’s going on?

It's gotta be poor coaching
Look how many Vols are in the NFL. They can play, but they can’t overcome a bad scheme.
Why can’t we cover the middle?

if crompton continues this style of play (indecision / running)
Florida is gonna kill him

by LOUtheMETandNATSfan on Sep 13, 2008 1:37 PM EDT reply actions
Let's hope they do it in the first quarter
so we have time to get a backup in there to lead the offense.
j/k about the killing part. maybe daze him.
D-Mo
has a cast on his hand. What’s up with that?

Eric Berry!!!

shoulda stayed in the end zone though

What the he!!
is wrong with this kid?
I've got something for you young man. Ooohh, it's...Thaa Claawww! Oh, you're afraid of The Claw!!
what the heck?
What was that? A 45 yard attempt for what?
We’re a head and in the endzone, run the damn ball and punt it if you have too!!

Can we not
run some poss across the middle or something? Is such a thing not part of the “Don’t Know What To Do-fense”?

I’m liking Dan Williams.
Why did we use our last TO there? Hope that doesn’t bite us.

Oh crap!
Here comes the run, run, run, punt offense.

Hmmm...
maybe not.

That was dirty
Where’s the call?
He smacked the hell out of Crompton!
"Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football." John Heisman
Wow
Somebody yank a knot in Crompton’s a$$.
Where the he!! is Brandon Warren?
And can we PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE run the damn ball?

Crompton
Is about to get his butt chewed
"Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football." John Heisman
Hopefully...
the entire starting lineup for FLA will get dysentary at the same time. Maybe next Friday?
I've got something for you young man. Ooohh, it's...Thaa Claawww! Oh, you're afraid of The Claw!!
Crompton
Is at 11 of 18 for 162 yards 2 td’S and 1 INT
By Contrast Joe Webb is 11 of 19 for 102 yards with 1 INT
Crompton is throwing decent, just making some poor decisions. Its not helping him that people like Stocker are dropping passes that were catchable.
Its not just a case of Crompton, even though i agree he needs a tail chewing. But a combination of he and the recievers & TE’s.
"Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football." John Heisman
I've never 100% agreed with that
If you got an awesome QB, you still have receivers like Terrel Owens who is only going to do as much as they want too, when they want too
Sure he can try to motivate, sure he can try to modify his passing, but if a receiver just isn’t cooperating or his head isn’t in the game, there is only so much Cromtpon can do too get them in line.

Catch the ball Luke!!!!!!!!!!!
You look like a late nineties georgia receiver out there with all the drops.
looks around desperately
WHERE IS WARREN?!?!?!?!?!?!?
You're right
it’s not ALL Crompton. But he throws one good ball followed by a not good one. He is very inconsistent and what looks to be scared a little. Agreed, the recievers (other than Lucas Taylor and G-Jones) need to step up. BTW, where is Austin Rogers? We need to run him over the middle again and again. He DOESN"T drop passes. Is he hurt? WTH? And again, the O-line isn’t impressing me. RUN THE BALL CLAWSON. RUN THE BALL.
I've got something for you young man. Ooohh, it's...Thaa Claawww! Oh, you're afraid of The Claw!!
Can we afford Crompton's inaccurate passing over the middle?
That’s almost like giving the defense a free int.
Well said!
Pretty much my thoughts. I’d say its about 70/30 with Crompton holding the 70 in fault ratio.
Foster started out looking great in the first quarter and I really haven’t seen him since. What gives?
I know we have been Wide Reciever U for years but, geez we have a run game, lets use the durn thing!
