What do you want me to say, it was Arkansas State. Our offense looked great. Kudos to Ainge for, again, being the (literally) brightest player on a wildly erratic team. Most Valuable Player B would have to be Lucas Taylor, who, for the first time, looked like a real receiver, displaying, on two occasions, some serious sticky-fingers and an unrelenting desire to get the ball into the endzone, which was nice, seeing as how Austin Rogers, with the occasional easy drop, is quickly distancing himself from any further Steve Largent comparisons. Our offensive line—while efficient pass blockers—can’t seem to push people of the ball in the running game. Lamarcus Cocker’s 100+ yards were more a result of some crafty running and the overmatched personnel of Arkansas State, than any sign of dominance on the line of scrimmage. Florida’s near loss to Ole Miss was a perfect example of how our linemen have been unable to capitalize on these kinds of missed opportunities (Florida’s case being their inexperience). Our defense was…atrocious. Career advice to Jonathan Heffney: If you want to play ball on Sunday, you need to learn how to wrap-up. Spearing runners with your helmet and forearms isn’t working in college, what makes you think it will in the NFL? You are no Roy Williams, sir. (Oh, and a negative four yard average on punt-returns is…not good.) Our linebackers are so translucent that I have a hard time telling you their names (Mayo, maybe?). I am officially a fan of Eric Berry: He hits hard, wraps up, and occasionally picks the ball off (and he’s only a freshman…yay!). We have two weeks to prepare for an overrated Georgia team. My prediction: If Tennessee can hold Georgia to under thirty points, we might have a shot. If…
