University of Tennessee Football


I am finally becoming a believer in the UT volunteers football team. The new OC has a grip on Erik Ainge's strengths and weaknesses and they are managing the game effectively against multiple types of opponents. With the exception of the Florida game and almost Air Force things are clicking well. I heard yesterday that Mr. Ainge was mentioned in the Heisman race. To clear this up he shouldn't be, but I guess no one is setting themselves apart right now.
For the season he has an NCAA QB rating of 172.58 and an NFL rating of 115.73, he also averages 9.74 yards per completion. These are REALLY good numbers for a guy that stunk up the joint just a season ago. The main difference is that this season he is the guy, no fear of being yanked after one poor play for a Clausen. Clausen, by the way, is German for crappy quarterback; if you don't believe me watch one of them play. Thankfully Notre Dame has inherited this plague.

he's definitely a different qb. Maybe it's Cutcliffe, who knows. He did put the two Mannings in the NFL.
