Another strike for Fulmer

[VolfanMike]

No matter which way you slice it, this is just not a good football team. In aspect of the game.

With a new O.C and new system......to learn, I think Crompton was picked due to status and paid his dues being backup thru the years. Clawson went in totally new to all this. He didn't recruit anyone and had to start fresh.

Our troubles lay up front in the trenches and also we're still using the same offense from years past. Even the Georgia players said from studing film they had a good idea of the play ahead of time. Basically we've (that be Fulmer) become to predictable.

I would guess that with Stephens starting the season TN doesn't lose to UCLA and they probably could have taken Florida. Which brings us to Ga. With an experienced Stephens Tn doesn't lose yesterday, I don't think. Now to explain my thread title. Fulmer picked Crompton to start the year (Good choice I thought at the beginning but I have to wonder what happened to all the talent Crompton was supposed to have between High School and the UCLA game?) Fulmer kept Crompton as the QB until it was strongly suggested he change and this is what I mean by another strike. Could Fulmer not see the difference between Crompton and Stephens? TN might win next week but the Alabama game depends now on how much Stephens can grow. The team might have a chance now but I stll think it's 60 40 against. Hey, until yesterday I didn't even give them a chance against Alabama or many other teams for that matter.

It was JC's turn, he's been here for 3 years. Not saying I agree with this, but it must be what happened. NS is much more talented.
