Janzen Jackson graded out better than Berry vs FL

This is from a VQ article:

"Oh, man. Not too often. Not too often. But he had a higher grade," Berry said of the former five-star prospect from Lake Charles, La. "We were right up there. It was close, but he did get higher than me. That was a good thing."

Berry said Jackson not only outperformed him in this game but credited him with a better performance than Berry's coming-of-age outburst in Gainesville two years ago when he ran a Tim Tebow interception back 96 yards for a touchdown.

"Very impressed. Just seeing how he didn't give up any plays down there. I believe he graded higher than me as going down there in Florida also, which was a very big plus. I told him you did much better than I did in my first big game, my first big SEC game," Berry said. "Just told him to keep working. He has a bright, bright future."

Does Jackson really do some things better than Mr. Franchise?

"I do believe he does, he's more fluent in man-to-man coverage as far as his hips and the way he gets out of his breaks. He's a natural corner and can play safety," Berry said. "I do agree with coach Kiffin with that and the way he does get out of his breaks and things like that is very impressive.

"He's very poised. The crowd noise, all that stuff, didn't affect him. Like I said, he graded out very high in the game. Just showed how focused he was going into the game and playing through it. He's very, very poised."

Berry went so far as to say Jackson might in three or four years eclipse Berry as one of the Vols' greatest players of all-time.

"It's just crazy to tell you the truth. I don't even know what else to say about it," Berry said of the duo's career comparisons. "The things we are doing is very similar, especially when I came in. He has a lot of time to make a lot of plays here, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did surpass me as a DB or anything. He has that much talent."

save the U.S. don't let your kid play soccer

Hard not to really admire EB.

The crowd noise at UF was pretty mute until the fumble in the 4th...very unFlorida.

They were in shock! Not only weren't they witnessing the epic beatdown that they had been looking forward to, we were laying the wood to them, and they could see that with a break going against them... they could LOSE!

While Jansen Jackson graded out well and did play well, EB was playing different positions and different roles in the defense.
