UCLA-UT report card

Here’s a new feature this season. Here is my report card, and your chance to vote on the grades:


Quarterbacks
Grade: C
Kevin’s Craft-y comeback remarkable after four first-half picks.

Running backs
Grade: C
No where to run, but at least they picked up Vols’ now and again blitz.

Receivers
Grade: A
And folks wondered if Taylor Embree (4 catches) got scholarship because dad knows Karl Dorrell?

Offensive line
Grade: C
Pass protection was an A, run blocking (31 carries, 29 yards) was an F.

Defensive line
Grade: B
Boy, that Brian Price can play. And the rest weren’t too shabby, either.

Linebackers
Grade: B
A few blown assignments on the outside, but Reggie Carter’s debut in the middle a success.

Defensive backs
Grade: B
Given three-fourths were new starters, a rousing evening.

Special teams
Grade: A
Having a coach exclusively for special teams paid off already.

Coaching
Grade: A
OC Norm Chow and DC DeWayne Walker lived up to billing, and CEO Neuheisel oversaw it all.
