CommCognition Top 25 Week 3

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Several national football commentators blamed Ohio State's loss to Texas on the use of two quarterbacks. They listed numerous big games where the platoon system drew a big "L" on the scoreboard. This week it looks as if the Orange Nation fell victim to the same coaching virus. A rotund looking Phillip Fulmer alternated between signal callers Rick Clausen and Erik Ainge, and for the second week in a row a team with preseason national championship hopes finished with a loss. For the Vols' sake, I hope that they rebounded better than the Buckeyes did against SDSU.
