            Pat Fitzgerald’s team is playing with a fiery attitude and reckless abandon he used to play with being an excellent MLB in the 90’s.  You have got to root for this program, with the loss of Coach Randy Walker 3 years ago.  Fitzgerald, the youngest coach in the country, has taught his players to have a never back down from anyone attitude and implemented a highly-efficient offense led by do-everything back Tyrell Sutton and competitive quarterback C.J. Bacher.  Bacher has limited his interceptions and getting Sutton healthy has been a big part of the tremendous showings by the Wildcat offense thus far to be sitting at 5-0 going into the early weeks of the Big Ten conference slate. 

Tulsa offense

            The Tulsa offense was supposed to be a weak part of the 2008 team after losing stud QB Paul Smith, but so far, things have been going very well for the Golden Hurricane offense.  Currently, the team ranks 4thnationally in scoring offense, averaging 52 points a game, and quarterback David Johnson has thrown 15 TD’s so far this season, placing him in the top 5 in this category amongst all FCS quarterbacks.

 

Who’s Not

Tennessee

            The Vols have not seemed to recover from the UCLA loss a few weeks back.  I watched Arian Foster run all over a tough Penn State D last year in the Outback Bowl, but this year so far, Foster has been completely unheard of.  Jonathan Crompton has played alright but the decision making of first year offensive coordinator Dave Clawson has not helped his confidence or the offense finding its groove.  Phillip Fulmer has been in this place before, but how much longer they accept mediocrity year in and year out will be a big factor in how long Fulmer stays at Rocky Top.
