I doesn't help much to read a defense or create separation if you drop the ball. Clifford Franklin agrees. | |

Caught up with Jason Croom earlier, who was on campus from around 7:45 to noon. He said he ran some routes and tested with coach Baggett watching. He said he spent some time with coach Dooley as well.
He said it was a cool visit and good to see what Tennessee had to offer. Next up for him is a visit to Miami.
