Nice pic.
I’m seriously happy for Nutt. I’ve always had a lot of respect for him (Arkansas is not an easy SEC place to coach and succeed). I think Ole Miss will become a great fit for him.

It was ugly
out here. They ran him out. I want to see him clean Arkansas’s clock quite honestly

Clock-rule watch.
30 plays for UT, 35 for Auburn. That’s on pace for 130 for the game – not a whole lot.
The 3rd quarter MUST count.

Less plays work in Crompton's favor
Less chance for missed handoffs or overthrown passes

If they deferred at the toss
they’d be stupid to take the ball. They’ll get better field position by kicking off.

I still think the UT offense is really close to clicking.
I don’t know if Crompton is simply a little mental twitch away from being really good, or if he’s gone forever. But the line is doing a great job, the receivers are doing well, and the running game is a go.

Unfair criticism.
Burns was responding properly in the pocket. Martin simply beat his man cleanly.
by Hooper on Sep 27, 2008 5:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
The announcers are getting overly negative.
They’re beginning to see things that aren’t there.
They also simultaneously criticized Crompton for his bad play while praising Auburn’s 3rd down defense. Reality is in-between, but you can’t claim both fully.

I'm not certaing about that.
It was a 10-yard soft zone coverage. 5 for sure, but 10 would have been tough.

obvious referred to the playcalling sequence

Re: QB switch.
Neither backup was prepared for this game. This was likely Crompton’s last stand and he was probably given the full week to prepare. Next week is Northern Illinois, so a QB switch is most likely to happen then.
Until then, enjoy the ride.
