My Questions:

Rate SEC Starting Quarterbacks, as they are playing, right now. I’d be interested in seeing a) where RCR ranks Jonathon Crompton and b) where they rank Jevan Sneed.
As a follow up to the above, discuss preseason expectations vs current performance and reasons why these things have changed.
If you had told Ghost of Jay Cutler (who I guess is the guest) or whoever, at the beginning of the year, that this game would feature both the SEC leader in Touchdowns and the SEC leader in Interceptions, I wonder who they would have believed who was really who. I know I didn’t expect it to be the way it was. Why is Snead throwing so many INTs?
Dexter McCluster and his emergence. I think the key for Tennessee is to stop the dynamic playmaker wearing #22 for Ole Miss. He didn’t play against Northern Arizona (injured, or held out? Will he be 100% vs Tennessee?) but in games against Arkansas and Auburn he had 44 carries for 309 yards on the ground. He also had 11 catches for 154 yards.
Ole Miss is scoring touchdowns 75% of the time they get in the red zone ( 21 / 28 ) and has only not gotten points 1 time in the end zone. On the other side of that Tennessee is only allowing opponents to score TDs 37% of the time in the red zone. How has Ole Miss been so effective in the red zone, and how can Tennessee slow them down?

Questions

1. To what extent, if any, do you think that Coach O’s knowledge of Ole Miss’ personnel could have an impact on the game?

2. Ole Miss beat Arkansas and then lost to Auburn. Which game was the exception, and which the rule? Help us understand a team that appears to be rather enigmatic.

Not only that

But in Ole Miss’s 6 wins, Snead is 100/168 for 1428 yards 15 TDs – 7 INTs, a QB Rating of 152 and is averaging 238 yards per game.
In the 3 losses, Snead is 34/90 for 422 yards 2 TDs – 6 INTs, a QB Rating of 74 and is averaging just 140 yards per game.
In their wins, the Rebels have faced, in order, the #100, #FCS, #39, #112, #108, and #FCS Passing Effeciency Defenses.
What is one thing that all of their losses have in common? They come against the 3 best Passing Defenses Ole Miss has faced: South Carolina is #32, Auburn is #25, and Alabama is #3. Tennessee is #16.

Does Houston Nutt understand how to coach the guy who receives the ball from center and is responsible for most of the passing?

Seriously. The saga of the Dicks, Matt Jones (great runner, meh passer – witness his pro career), and now the de-evolution of Snead. What gives?

Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs

I’m the one guy that always help out hope that JC would finally arrive. even when i was sitting in the pit of snarling Crompton-haters during the UCLA game i defended him. Now we use phrases like “on Fire” and “Leads the SEC in TOUCHDOWNS” instead of interceptions. My question is, If these young men win out, and it seems possible, what will this do for JC in terms of NFL possibilities? possible late round or undrafted free agent? It seems that the combination of Pro-Style and overcoming adversity seem to be a good commodity. just asking.

I'm not much of an expert on this, but I'd guess second day.

Sustained success (i.e. full-season or two) means a lot to the scouts, and Crompton won’t have that behind him. But there are other things that will be more important. Is he scanning both sides of the field, or are the playcalls limiting him to only one side? What liberty does he have on checkdowns? There’s a lot that the scouts can see (that I can’t) that will play into it.

On his side is his work ethic: the NFL loves qbs who put their time into the film and playbook study. And I think that Jim Chaney may be more important than people think. He OC’d Drew Brees and Kyle Orton, so the NFL is used to Chaney’s product.

And as we speak

Cheney’s products are a combined 14-1. That’s good by any measure. I think that someone will take a late round flier on him. He’s got the tools, he obviously works, his problem is just overcoming a lot. He hasn’t had time to do that. And even if he hasn’t had time to get up to speed on things like scanning both sides of the field, he’s grown a lot. He’d be a project, but if he grows more, he could be a project that pays off.
