This was Showdown Saturday
1. Tenn-LSU. What happened at the end of this game? Les Miles what are you thinking bringing in a quarterback who was 3-10 in passing to run the option with less than 40 seconds less to play? Everyone knew the option was coming on the short side of the field. Jordan Jefferson, why are you laying on the ground as precious seconds tick off the clock? This is the kind of game that signifies Miles and Crowton tenure at LSU. Chaotic on offense. They needed to recruit a quarterback and didn't. Miles has had trouble at the end of the game with clock management. If he lost this game it was possible he could have been relieved of his duties before next week. Of course, he won so he still survives, but I for see a lot of offseason changes with the Tigers. This is the worse offensive team in college football. No way this is a top ten team.
You have to feel bad for Derek Dooley and the Vols but there is no excuse to have 13 to 14 guys on the field at the end of the game. Dooley is a likable guy with a team that plays hard for him. Volunteer nation should be proud of, but as stated before, the cupboard is bare and its going to be hard for them to rebound and compete in the SEC. A loss likes this sometimes makes the rest of the season meaningless. Its going to be a long, long season for the Vols.
2. If I see Another Jump Pass... Urban Meyer better tear that play out of his playbook. Burton is not Tebow, there will never be another Tebow so live with it. I hated the pass when Tebow did it because it was a fluke. Coaches can defense that dumb play. Its no way you run that against Alabama in the first quarter only down by three. Meyer looks panicked and uneasy when coaching against Saban. Its almost as if he is intimidated by Slick Nick.
3. The Ducks Are Scary. I know they gave up 31 points in the first half. Their defense though shuts people out in the second half of games. The Oregon Ducks have only allowed 7 points in all their games combined in the second half of games. They make adjustments defensively and pound you to death with speed all over the place offensively. A special season is shaping up in Eugene. Their mascot is going to be ripped after having to push ups for the amount of touchdown this team scores.
4. I think I finally Understand Tressell Football. Normally I call out "Sweater Vest" and disagree with his philosophy, but I understand it now. Tressell wants to wear teams down with the running game until they wear the other team down and you still run it some more. The problem with it though is teams like Illinois on Saturday can hang around, and around and this is where OSU gets into trouble. You do that to the really good teams and they will stop the run and force you into something that you aren't comfortable doing. That is another reason Terelle Pryor will not win the Heisman. The stats won't be there.
