Thank you sir.

What about your secondary. Do you have anyone who is capable of playing at a mediocre level? I am trying to decide how many picks Crompton will throw Saturday.

We have 5 INT's this season; returned one for a TD this past week (by a linebacker). Redshirt freshman Gerald Moore has 2 INT's.

Thanks - looking forward to making the trip. OUr alumni and fans are a fun group of people, so it should be a great weekend. I'm happy we're bringing the band, too.

Thanks for the info. After last Saturday, we, as fans, need to move on to the next game. Our fans are having a hard time doing that right now. I hope any of you who come to Knoxville for the game are treated with the respect you deserve, as fans of your program. Hopefully, we have an injury free game.

1.) Hopefully crompton doesn't add to your interceptions statistic, however I think he will.

2.) Anything related to Richard Dean Anderson and stargate sg-1 rocks. Favorite show.

And btw, they use two QB's and both of them are seniors.

Code: 
PASSING              Effic  Cmp-Att-Int   Pct  Yds  TD 
Scott, Theo         137.76    28-56-2     50.0 397   6  
Jackson, Boo        121.99    17-30-0     56.7 194   1

I'd say they're both considerably better than JC.

Actually, Boo Jackson is hurt and done for the year, so Theo Scott is the starter. Brandon Jones (another senior) is the backup, and had playing time a few years ago.

Thanks for the info. I remember watching the Ohio State game last year, and they led OSU until the 4th quarter before losing by a couple of touchdowns I think. However, from what I remember Boo Jackson did not look very good. I don't know if Scott/Jones played in that game or not.

Ohio has a strong passing defense currently ranked 8th in the country but their rushing defense is at the bottom of the pile coming in at 110th place out of 120 teams.
