Reading the article on Cannon Smith.. does anybody remember Wes Counts?

Quarterback, Middle Tennessee.. I believe for 2 years, but the '99 (unless I'm mistaken) game was the real beat down. That's probably the most abuse I've ever seen a QB take. It was Godawful. Even my dad commented during the second half that he felt sorry for the kid's parents if they were in the stadium having to watch.

If Diaz has the personnel in the backfield to trust in single coverage, Saturday could get similarly ugly for Smith because I think we're going to play it a little more like JLD and less like Carl Torbush. Probably not an *** whipping of such biblical proportions as Counts took, but it could get ugly.

and a QB whose daddy bought his starting position (even Memphis fans think this), it is a recipe for disaster.

Not since Henig's epic game against LSU in the '08 opener will we see a QB display like we will see Saturday. Maybe not 7 interceptions, but Smith just doesn't have it.

..and anyway.. what would that cost??

But Smith could have "it" all day and I still think he's going to be running for his life.

We win by 21.

but I'm sure that's a coincidence.

cue the soft-focus camera work, slow piano music and Chris Connelly/Jeremy Schaap's voice: it's the feel-good underdog story of the year!
