Nick really played a decent game. The one fumble wasn't his fault

 

[UTCVol]

He did a great job. Crompton would never have made that long pass.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Yep had Crompton played, we lose

 

[vol4life14]

if crompton started we woulda lossed the game

Nick really played a decent game. The one fumble wasn't his fault

you mean besides the fact he just dropped the ball? Yeah I can see how we should blame that on someone else

 

[Vol Mania 21]

least we saw crompton, granted it was on the sideline w/ his helmet on, just like i like it

What? The defender grabbed his arm...it was a typical open hand fumble.....

 

[Ladie4Vols]

Way to go Nick...........:3083yourock:

 

[TheVol]

Played decent. Showed a good arm and quick release. Needs to work on decision making. The offensive game plan was offensive. They did not help him at all. Our offense has no identity or rhythm at all. I don't know who is really calling the plays but it is not working.

Yes ma'am... Nick did a super job and I pray he starts against Georgia.. please Coach don't put Crompton in... I sure could see a different strength in our team tonight too, we can recover people...

GO VOLS.....
GO BIG ORANGE

PS... we were unable to go to the game cause DH had to work....

The helmet was kind of sad...but it does show heart - though I personally think someone told him to keep it on because he might go on at any moment, just to keep his ego intact (either family or sports psychologist...)

 

[governmentmule]

Nick looked good

 

[Sudeepvol]

Yep had Crompton played, we lose

good QB change...see the coaches are smart after all

it would have been hard for anyone to hang on to that ball

I figured it was in case someone started egging him.

 

[orangeblooded2]

AS stated in a different thread I have been on the band wagon sense the orange and white game.:dance2:

 

[utvolpj]

it would have been hard for anyone to hang on to that ball

you're right, he was amazing. What was I thinking?

 

[zjcvols]

Nick played well. Should called more plays to go deep. O-Line gave him no protection

 

[AllVolYall]

Nick had a pretty good game for his 1st outing considering his experience. Needless to say, the stakes go way up next week. Congrats Nick and enjoy this game.

 

[TennTradition]

you're right, he was amazing. What was I thinking?

The defender grabbed his arm while he was pulling back to throw...yes, he should have rolled left to avoid it.....but to say he "dropped" the ball is ridiculous, IMO.

 

[Cooleyvol]

Umm..........doesnt the lack of protection cut down on the number of times you can go deep?

 

[duckman398686]

you're right, he was amazing. What was I thinking?

that's not what i said. it's just not fair to judge him on that one play. even the best qbs get blind-sided sometimes.

i will say this, if stephens didn't hit moore for that td we very well may have lost that game. be thankful that ut had a qb that had some accuracy on his passes tonight, especially with the deep ball, instead of complaining about his play. it was his first start. give the guy a break. geez....

not that I saw and the commentator said the same. When it's up I'll watch the replay

Saint Nick presented Ut fans with a Christmas in October!! (a little hyperbole here, but he did show up in the "nick of time").
