Agree 100%. The difference was that Craft was at least throwing balls where they could be caught (even if it were by the wrong team :)) where as Crompton kept tossing them in the dirt or 6 feet over the receivers heads.

Key difference: Craft gained confidence at half-time, Crompton didn't.

Craft in the 2nd Half looked like an All-American. Which, if things don't change, so are Tebow, Stafford, John Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson, maybe even Smelley.

I thought Clawson's play calling was good. They execution was terrible most of the night. Hardesty looked good most fo the night.

I was a huge fan of Warren's. He looked like he had not been on the field in a long time, oh yeah, he hasn't.

Hopefully Crompton can get calmed down...if not, this could be a long year!

Unreal, I'm still in a funk this morning

Outplayed by a 3rd string QB, no RB or TE...

Unbelieveable

So, the coaches called an idiotic formation that frequently results in blocked punts and it's the players' fault that Cunningham couldn't get the kick off in 0.3 seconds?

Im sure the players ran it just like they were supposed to and have every time they practiced it. Im also sure that Wes Brown whiffed on his block just as the coaches drew it up. :crazy:

Punter had no chance, cant blame him at all in my opinion.

That's why we put up so many points and he didn't roll Crompton out of the pocket, to avoid the rush

Clawson didn't impress me last night...

Is anyone else concerned we did the exact thing last night we criticized Cutcliff for doing last year? Our strength was the running game but we wasted downs on a qb that had lost confidence. Why not take some of that pressure off him and run the ball?

Our offensive line is not as good as they appeared to be last year (surprise they actually had to hold a block for more than 2 seconds) although they did look better in the running game than I expected.


Once again Chavis had no answer in the form of an adjustment to Chow's second half offense.

I thought we could possibly be a 3 loss team this year but now it looks more like a 5 loss team.

The problem is UCLA had a heavy blitz package almost every play. We still insisted on making a 5 step drop. with a multiple LB blitz, that's a recipe for disaster. Crompton held onto it far too long as well. It was basically night/day as far as passing styles go between Ainge and Crompton.

Throw four 1st half interceptions and then mount a dramatic OT comeback victory... sounds like a recipe for getting laid. Envy the reception Craft will be getting all this week. Hopefully he thanks us at some point.

Their DT's killed our O-Line

There are short yardage plays that can burn that blitz but we never made the adjustment.

Crompton holding the ball too long is as much to blame on the above statement as it is anything.

Crompton and Ainge are night and day although I do believe Crompton has an upside Ainge didn't.

The things I saw that cost us the game:

1. Play calling was pretty suspect. Tennessee was running all over UCLA and we turned to the pass, knowing Crompton was struggling with control.

2. Crompton was awful. It missed wide open receivers and single handidly stalled offensive drives with high passes. We should have beat UCLA by 14 to 17 points, but Crompton was just awful. Are they serious that BJ Coleman is not better than this?

3. Offensive line was pretty horrendous in picking up the blitzes in pass protection.

4. Why were the corners playing so far off the receivers?

We had underneath receivers open for Crompton. He chose not to make those passes and threw deep. Clawson can only call the play, not make him throw the smart one. This isn't NCAA 2009. Clawson's failure was in repeatedly putting Crompton in a known bad situation. That is absolutely Clawson's failure. What we don't know is if Clawson said "throw underneath and burn them on the blitz" and Crompton basically got all Rex Grossman and said "F*&* that, I'm going deep". That must have been infuriating for Clawson, but he made that bed, now he's sleeping in it.

1. Agreed, there is no excuse for only running it 25 times with our RBs. NONE.

2. Agreed as well. Crompton made bad decisions and worse passes.

3. The problem was UCLA was blitzing 6-7 and we only had 5 blockers. We didn't adapt to it, and it wasn't difficult. They showed blitz. They blitzed.

4. No answer for that. We have very physical CBs, and I don't know why they weren't jamming them at the line and throwing off the timing their QB had established.

Chavis wanted to keep the defense in front of the receivers I guess. But that doesn't make much sense considering our talent in the backfield and their lack of big play makers.

If there were four bulletins that should be sent to the UT coaching staff on behalf of vol nation, those would be it because you summed up what everyone's pissed and perplexed about.

For the most part, Im proud of our players. Crompton was bad but he was battling, playing hard. Him, Foster and Lincoln cant be made the real goats here. The coaching staff must take full accountability for this one because it's their job make sure the team is disciplined to not have dumb penalties, prepared enough to snap/exchange the ball properly, and to adapt defensively to a quarterback who is no longer fooled by our zones.

I understand the reasoning, but fail to see the logic in it. It has proved to be a failure in times past for us, and he didn't have a deep game, he had a proven short passing game. He isn't going to pass deep over Berry and Morley, that much was proven.

Correct! Just about every long pass he threw sailed on him and was a gimme for our defense!

Chavis had them playing deep zones as if we were playing against Florida's receivers or some chit. Helllloooo, the Bruins wide out corps are filled with possession receivers who have played more beach volleyball than football!!!:banghead2:

If the loss wasn't clawson's fault, wasn't fulmer's fault, wasn't chavis's fault---whose fault was it?
