DESCRIPTION
Former Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton evaluates Faizon Brandon after the freshman accounted for five touchdowns in the Vols’ 56-9 victory over Furman. Brandon completed 13 of 17 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 68 yards and two more scores. Crompton explains why Brandon should be viewed as an athletic quarterback rather than simply a scrambling quarterback—and why his skill set gives Josh Heupel so many options moving forward. Crompton identifies the two plays that stood out most during Faizon Brandon’s five-touchdown debut against Furman. Crompton breaks down Brandon’s read on a perfectly executed speed-option touchdown and the early third-quarter strike to Mike Matthews that put the game away. He also explains why Brandon’s composure was especially impressive after the freshman missed most of his final high-school season with an injury. Charlie Burris and former Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton react to Brandon’s impressive debut, Tennessee’s dominant victory and everything the Vols showed before their first road test against Georgia Tech.
