Good one.

I hope for his psyche's sake that Crompton stays far away from message boards.

This is smart, UT aint gonna win this game no matter who starts. If Stephens came in and got drilled and rattled we would have 2 QBS with zero confidence. Let Jon take it on the chin, start Nick Stephens against OHIO and treat the Ohio like a second opener. Get some confidence instilled in Nick and prepare him for Auburn, UGA, etc. He can earn the starting job for next year with semi efficient play or can show us Bray is a lock for a starter.

Since Stephens can't beat him in practice who knows how many he'd throw. Do you put Stephens in and just say 'why not'?

Call me a crazy dreamer, but I just have the slightest hunch that this weekend's game will bring out the best in Crompton & the rest of the team. I've been watching UT play for many long years now and have often seen it happen that when all the suposed "experts" totally count out the Vols like they are doing this week Tennessee usually plays well. That's not a universal truth but I can't help but remember the SugarVols game vs. Miami in '85.... NOBODY gave us a chance in hades of winning that game. Same thing again when we played Georgia two years ago at Neyland. Again with the 'Canes a few years ago... We've prven the experts wrong before and I'm just crazy enough to think we can do it again. This whole "revenge" angle (and the accompanying 28.5 point spread...) will blow up in Florida's face.

I won't say anything other than...I REALLY hope you are right not only about Crompton but the whole team playing well.

I tell you what, if NS is worse than JC, then NS needs to caugh up his scholly so we can get someone else. We don't need scholly QBs that never have a prayer of seeing the playing field.

no doubt this board would have him considering suicide as the only way out.

No way he could do worse than Crompton. Six turnovers in two games, this guy is a joke.

The last thing we're gonna hear from JC is, "I'd like to give a shout-out to the e-thugs @ Volnation. 'Jes keepin' it real for the homers. Go Vols!"

I'll be saving this post for when/if Stephens plays and does worse than Crompton. If he does better then we'll all be happy.
