When we needed a big play on defense, he delivered. Love watching the young man play and I think sometimes he is under appreciated. He can single handeldly disrupt an offense.

Thought he deserved some recognition.

We're 3-0. A win next week would do wonders for the team and our fans. Let's get it.

Freak, I like the optimism, but I gotta be honest and say I'm truly worried. Most I've been worried about UT in a long time.

Only positive I can take away is we are finding ways to win

You are justified in your concerns... after 3 games this team has not progressed in any phase that I can see.

I expected more out of him than we've seen this far. But you're right when we really needed it he was there. Can't argue that

Don't misunderstand my post. I'm not oblivious to the issues we've all witnessed in the first three weeks. But I'll keep taking the wins, no matter how ugly. And I'm still holding out hope that things are going to click for these guys. They have it in them.

Yes I agree completely. The talent is there. Are the coaches up to the challenge?

We seem to be the best in the country at fumble recoveries.

He's a monster...but UT having one sack through three games, against very mediocre talent, is inexcusable.

Extremely encouraged by the pressure he brought on an every down basis, extremely frustrated none of them resulted in a sack.

Good play even if he doesn't have a sack yet this year. He has to be more careful on helmet to helmet contact though. One of them today could have gotten him suspended for next week.

I agree with you frustrations but I believe we have played 3 QBs/schemes with quick releases. 0.3 seconds on a few plays and he has 5 sacks or more.
