Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Talking points: Eric Berry the finger in the dam

Star-divide

  • Eric Berry's fallen off ESPN's Heisman watch list.
  • If the Gators have an offensive weakness, it may be at receiver.
  • Kiffin notes that four years ago, Florida didn't have all these great players and hadn't won two national championships in three years. It's a process that takes some time, he says, and he says his team needs to be rolling by year three.
  • The offensive line was apparently very banged up for the UCLA game and is focused on healing this week. I initially thought that Kiffin's statement in defense of Crompton that Kiffin made a mistake by playing several players who couldn't practice that week referred to receivers Denarius Moore and Gerald Jones, but it apparently also referred to center Cody Sullins and guards Vladimir Richard and Jacques McClendon.
  • At Dr. Saturday, Doug Gillett says Kiffin is battling the perception that he's a boy trying to do a man's job and Dan Shanoff suggests "Zeke 25:17" for Tebow's eye black this week.

    Dan Shanoff is a hack

    And he only roots for the Gators because his wife went to school there and his own college (Northwestern) isn’t as good at sports as he wishes they were.

    Dan Shanoff wishes Tebow had circumcised him

    Crompton does not “have” to face constant ridicule. If he would stop throwing interceptions, we’d all love him.

    Fair point

    But I think Kiffin’s saying that it’s the degree and . . . um . . . constantness (new word!) (probably of either criticism or praise) that is so much different here than it was in Southern Cal. It’s probably a little easier to blend in for a little tranquility in LA than it is in Knoxville.
