QUOTES OF THE DAY
“I had some guys open and overshot them 2 or 3 yards, so this week I’m trying to focus on my touch passes. You have to try to keep the defense honest because we know we’re not going to be able to run it every play.”
— Quarterback Larry Smith on the Commodores’ passing game (Source: The Tennessean)
“We’re healing people. And working, but shorter periods. We’re trying to improve one phase of the game every day. If we can do that this week and get our game plan in next week, we’ll be ready to go.
— Head coach Robbie Caldwell on taking advantage of the bye week (Source: The City Paper)

SONG OF THE DAY
Season 2 of Fox’s hit show Glee premiered last night. The only reason I know this is because my wife makes me watch the show (that’s my excuse at least).
Here’s a medley of Journey songs from the season one finale.
