Pregame Guesses Standings: Week One

Here's the roll call for last week's Tennnessee-UCLA open game thread. LOUthe METfan gets a point for the most comments, and I'm giving a point to wvvol for this astute observation:

If he has puts his mouthpiece in, it's a QB draw

 

Something to look for.

On to the Pregame Guesses. First, the answers:

  1. How many times does Gerald Jones line up at QB (within one)? Leave it to me to ask a question that is difficult to verify. I count three: The stats say that Jones ran it twice, and I remember him handing off to Foster once as well. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the final number was three. Only two people missed this, one who guessed five, and one who guessed six. Note to self: with small numbers, don't use ranges.
  2. Who gets an interception first? Eric Berry, Demetrice Morley, somebody else, or no one? That'd be Somebody Else, or DeAngelo Willingham.
  3. How many total yards does Arian Foster gain (within 20)? 108 (96 rushing and 12 passing).

And so, drumroll, standings after Week One:

Oh, yeah

Need to add him. Thanks. He didn’t make any pregame guesses, but he gets the point for the comment, so he’s tied with the rest of us in points (and ahead of us in averages!)

Go Vols!

I was gonna request my point be given to wvvol due to his "astute" analysis but...

since he didn’t make any pre-game guesses I feel he didn’t leave it ALL on the field. ;-)

Four quarters and then some man!

And to think...

LOU spent the first half on a computer that required page reloads, then spent halftime driving home from work, and he STILL posted the most comments.

Oy.

I got cheated...

I should have gotten a point to for my great insight (ala “Major League”):

Should’ve gotten him the live chicken…

lol…

Ah, yes

Missed the reference. Things moving with haste that night, they were.

Go Vols!
