If you were to listen very closely to the pay-per-view telecast of U.T.’s 36-24 win over Ohio University last night, you could make out the distinct sound of a large gasp every time that Jonathon Crompton dropped back to pass. Individually, I think “Aww hell!!” each time it happens….but I don’t have the confidence in Crompton that Coach Kiffin apparently does.
U.T won last night, but does anybody really care? It was Ohio University for crying out loud. Next week is Auburn and Georgia after that. Now the games start to matter. Anyone care to wager on the number of interceptions that “Captain Neuro” throws next week? I’m guessing that the over-under will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3. How in the hell was this dude ranked higher than Matt Stafford, Greg McElroy, AND Sam Bradford coming out of high school? Of course none of those other cats don’t suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Hellloooooo Nick Stephens! If Crompton falls apart in these next two SEC games, Kiffin really will have no choice but to bring in the skinny kid from Flower Mound.
The defense was stellar, as usual, but for god’s sake, how do we allow Ray Ray to pass for over 300 yards? Ohio didn’t even rush for 50 yards collectively. Eric Berry’s name was seldom called as teams are too chicken shit to throw to his side of the field for fear he my disembowel the intended receiver. I know this ……Jantzen Jackson packs a whallop! Keep up the good work fellas, Sir Monty will knight each of you as he finds you worthy.
