Tennessee-Ohio post game awards

Exactly how long is long enough?

Next time, boys, run the ball to the upper deck! Be sure you’re out of bounds for a loooooong time!

I think the closest the guy got to out of bounds was the left hash mark. He wasn’t even close to being out of bounds.

they’ll hire this guy.

I remember reading that on this site recently.

Sometimes it’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time. If you go back and watch all of Berry’s games, he’s gunning it. Some occaisons throwing himself through the air, but not coming up with the hit. Remember that hit on Wisconsin’s QB in the outback bowl?

Anyway, Jackson still has a lot to improve on. Too often he takes bad angles and misses tackles.

I wish you had worked up that discussion into a FanPost, actually. And for the record, I think you’re right. If anything, Jackson may be a bit too aggressive. That first one against Ohio should have been called for leading with the helmet. But when Berry leaves, I can see Jackson taking over the Punisher role in the defense.

What I think was Gerald by ten yards !! And the closest defender was ten yards away ! That should have been a easy into the checkerboard GIVE HIM SIX !

When I broke down the UCLA game, I was specifically addressing non-Crompton things, not trying to say that Crompton was any better off than we were discussing. At this point, Crompton is who he is and we’ll have to live with that so long as he’s playing.

There is nothing else the team can do to adjust when the quarterback runs the wrong way. There are ways the receivers can position themselves to make interceptions more difficult. That was what I was getting at. But Crompton is Crompton.

I haven’t seen that play yet. I listened to the game on radio and haven’t had the time for a visual review. But I don’t anticipate my opinion changing. The only thing I can imagine is a naked bootleg, but that’s only feasible if he had receivers running in his direction, which doesn’t sound like it’s the case.

The best thing for this offense now is consistency, changing up the starting quarterback before the heart of our schedule I think presents more risk than potential reward.

As far as Stephens goes… his most redeeming quality is simply that he’s not Jonathan Crompton. Nick Stephens really did nothing last year aside from a few nice deep balls to prove that he’s the better option. Remember it was Stephens that threw pick 6’s against South Carolina and Wyoming last year.

And we could learn several things from them. I sat on the 62nd row in the alumni section…and I had to stand up the entire game. Everyone stood in the entire stadium on every play of the entire game.

In other news, if you stand in 55 degree rain for tailgating, a 3.5 hour football game and a long walk to the car, you will get sick.

I’ve been to Blacksburg and sitting out in the rain at a football game is the funnest thing to do in town when it is raining.

that’s been endemic of tennessee athletics. hiring the good ole boys instead of looking for outside talent.

When you could mute the TV and let John Ward provide the soundtrack.

It was, like, raining, you know? And kindasorta cold, too. And I had a headache and two daughters who suddenly had opportunities to be at other, more attractive places than a cold wet football game against Ohio.

So . . . Vegas. But I have no idea how you got the webcam in my garage to know that that’s what I like to wear to games. And to Vegas. And to lunch on Wednesdays just because.
