Really? I mean really?

So I go to the Tennessee Vs.Ucla football game and yes I am excited about the game and I am ready to see our D, our running game, and YES even our QB. After last week against Western Kentucky there was a good feeling in the air. I know that Western Kentucky was an FCS team last year but we still beat them like a drum. So here it is Saturday afternoon and I am thinking the final score is going to be 27 - 13 or something like that. I feel confident about or D and I like the way our O looks. Then here it comes... Crompton throws a bad looking pass and it is intercepted. OK well last week against Western Kentucky he also had a few bad looking passes and a couple of INT's so maybe it is all good. I am sure he will pick it up and play better. I was WRONG. I was DEAD WRONG. Crompton played as badly as he did last year. He was just plain AWFUL!!!! 13/26 for 93 yards, 3 INT's, a lost fumble, and NO TD's. He was back to his old ways. The running game was decent but after UCLA saw that Crompton was so bad they focused on stopping the run and they we able to hold us to 115 yards on the ground. Once again our D was outstanding. The D held UCLA to 4 field goals and 1 TD even though it seemed like they started with the ball on our end of the field all day because of the 4 turnovers that Crompton had. The D held them to 186 total yards of offense, only 12 first downs all day, and got a safety when it mattered. The D getting that safety gave us a chance to win with 1:41 to go in the game. All we had to do was drive 65 yards and score a td.... Too bad Crompton sucks sooooooooo bad that we could not even gain a yard and we turned the ball over on downs and the game was over.

Overall the game was terrible from the offensive side of the ball. It really sucks to see such a great defensive effort go to waste with the pathetic showing from the offensive side of the ball.
I give the defense an A.
Running game gets a C+.
Crompton gets a Z. I know the grading scale only goes to F but in this case Crompton was SO bad he deserves a whole new level of badness.

Next week florida. I think you all know how I feel about florida. Stay tuned for a blog this week about the UT/florida rivalry...

Oh and for the record... Eric Berry is my hero. I love that kid!!!!
