[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 337573, member: 216"] I was telling my wife when she went to bed that this was the best I'd ever seen us look in a season opener. Tennessee is now equal with Ugag and the NE Patriots as the luckiest bunch of SOG's in football. The last play call by CPJ was perfect. To go for two was 100% the right call and gave us the best chance to win the game since the defense had become helpless and we had no kicker. The actual play call was a thing of beauty, outnumbered them, had only called it once earlier in the first half and it went for 10 easy yards, if Marshall stays outside instead of cutting it up (or just pitches right there), either he or Benson could've gone in untouched. Kirvonte Benson is a good running back. He's got some intriguing tools for the position. A little stick of dynamite. Marshall is a very exciting QB - a warrior's heart, a leader's head, a magician's feet, and he gets the most out of his arm-talent. I like the way he set up and fired with all his might on those short throws - and right on the money. He doesn't have the quick release of JT but with the way he's able to use all of his power to get zip on the ball makes him possibly the best thrower we've had besides JT. Qua Searcy had a heckuva game. Great blocking, UNBELIEVABLE catch (I've seen us miss that completion more times than I can remember), it was a good throw but an even better catch. I thought that catch had won the game for us. Cottrell has jets - I enjoyed seeing him accelerate past everyone (reminded me of Snoddy). I thought he was gone. OL was awesome. It's hard to wrap my mind around the two defenses I saw (both playing for GT). The defense of the first 2.5 quarters was one of the best I've seen at GT since CJT, and the defense of the last 1.5 (and OT) was equal to the worst - totally helpless. That WR from Tennessee dominated our guys like he was Calvin Johnson or something. That was surprising. I was bewildered that Lance Austin (#17) and Corey Griffin were beaten by him for a TD on a simple 5 yard out that should've been stopped short of the first down. How did UT not turn the ball over one time in their season opener? Is that an indictment of our defense? Usually turnovers have a significant element of luck to them. But when our defense is giving up well over 6 ypp (please don't ever look a the total yards per game stat when we held the ball for 42 minutes), that has to be considered a failure overall. (3.23 ppd including overtime posessions) Losing on the kicking game reminds me of my last game in high school - dominated the other team in the playoffs, played our hearts out, missed 2 extra points and a 15 yard field goal on the last play of the game to lose by 2. IF we could somehow figure out a way to get CPJ a defense ... (dreams) I do think we have a team that can win a lot of games and beat Ugag, so that's the main thing. [/QUOTE]
