Vol Report Card

QB is an F because he is a non-existent part of our offense at best and an extreme liability at worst. He was babied through the whole game because he makes extremely dumb decisions and it would have been a rout if he were expected to carry his part of the offense. We saw what he does when any pressure is put on him. He folds up like a cheap tent.

I saw at least 2 sacks from Chris Walker...
He made a great play on inside shovel pass/option, and he also kept great contain on Tebow before half and forced him to throw to B James (JJanzen Hit)
I was very impressed with Walkers performance

According to the official stats on utsports.com, Walker, Martin, and Wes Brown each had one sack.

CWalk sacked tebow in the 1st half when he ran by and grabbed tebow up high by the shoulder and slung him down, and then sacked him on 3rd down in the 4th quarter when the gator fans asked for a unsportsmanlike penalty.. correct?

Crompton - F

When you are playing the single most important position on the team and you're so incompetent at playing your position that your coach has to gameplan around you, then you earn an F.

The hamstringing of the offense, the knowledge of the other team that Crompton can only throw 5 yds or to them, and the amount of field time the D saw in the third all are major reasons for the Vol loss.....again. If that doesn't fail someone then why have grades.
I do understand what you are saying about grade one, however, and your grades are well thought out. Thanks for doing that.....

Haven't you heard? Generation Y doesn't believe in failing anyone.

Since the KNS has been slow or negligent to post its UT-UF game report card, what are your grades, Volnation?

QB- C Kiffin was limited by Crompton's ability and kept JC in manageable situations until the end. He didn't lose the game for the Vols so he doesn't receive a failing grade.

RB- B Hardesty had 96 tough yards between the tackles showing the promise he held since the 2006 Cal game. Bryce Brown danced way too much instead of charging into whatever seams or holes the O-line made.

WR- D Receivers made 0 big plays. G Jones inexplicably failing to stay in the end-zone and catching the 3rd down pass out of bounds was a huge fail.

OL- A- Despite being thin at the position, the O-line produced a yeoman's effort opening creases for Hardesty and keeping the Gator D out of the backfield most of the day.

DL- A Dan Williams was a force in the interior. Ben Martin and Chris Walker each had a sack.

LB- C Once LaMarcus Thompson went down, so did the intensity of the Vol LB corps. To allow a 235 lb throwing FB to gain multiple first downs on 3 and 3 when the box was stacked was inexcusable.

DB- A+ All-American play by EB all day. Janzen Jackson's ball-separating hit on Brandon James set the tone for the day. The Gator receiving corps were a non-factor.

ST- C Lincoln made all of his attempts but Chad Cunninham is NOT the answer as the kickoff specialist.

Coaching- A+ Give this staff credit for developing a blue-print for future DC's on Florida's schedule for slowing down the spread. To hold TT to just 115 yards passing and Florida to approx. 320 yards overall is commendable. CLK's use of the power running game to mask JC deficiencies and keep the game close was what we Vol fans had preached but hadn't seen in years from the previous coaching regime.

Overall- B Rarely is a moral victory acceptable but yesterday's performance was about as good as could've been expected. For me, to think that the Vols had a puncher's chance of winning this game midway through the fourth quarter was more than I could've expected. The goodwill and PR from this game will go a long way in the recruiting wars.

There is no way you can put QB play higher than an F.

To me your too generous with your QB grade and too harsh on the WR's and the two are inextricably related.

Crompton didn't "lose" the game because to the best of the coaches ability they schemed around him. Saying "Crompton didn't lose the game" is only slightly more applicable than saying "Stephens didn't lose the game".

Jones lost his field awareness on the one play, I'll grant you that. OTOH if the pass had been thrown a little earlier it wouldn't have mattered. However, the real point is I don't think you'd be getting some huge jump in passing production if we had Price, Meachem & Pickens at WR and Witten at TE. Ammo doesn't matter if the gun's broken.
