Last year’s start-of-the-season quarterback Jonathan Crompton has once again won the starting job… but it appears last year’s starting center Josh McNeil might lose out on that role this year due to an aching knee.
Crompton says he knows that he can’t take his starting job for granted.

Their quarterback doesn’t sound worried. “If you’re good enough to wear a Tennessee uniform, you’re good enough to go out there and get the job done.” Nice thought. Apparently Crompton has blocked out any memories of last season.
