Crompton remains UT's quarterback

There's no disputing the edge.
The Heisman Trophy winner is on the other sideline.
The quarterback is the unquestioned leader of that team, and there are no firing squads lining up to take shots at him.
That used to be familiar territory for Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin, but for one of the first times in his college career, he has a decided underdog at the most important position on the field. And even if Jonathan Crompton and Tim Tebow aren't exactly going head to head on Saturday in The Swamp (TV: WVLT, 3:30 p.m.), the disparity certainly underlines the challenge for the Vols against No. 1 Florida.
"They're not playing against each other," Kiffin said. "This is always about us. Look at the last game, that wasn't about UCLA. That was about us not playing well, and if we would have played well we would have won that game.
"This happens to be the next game, Jonathan is going to need to play well and it's a great matchup."
Obviously on paper it appears to be a bit lopsided, particularly under center after last weekend's struggles against the Bruins.
Not many players in the nation would compare favorably against Tebow, though Crompton's case became harder to make after throwing three interceptions and essentially forcing the Vols to operate a predictable, one-dimensional offense.
Kiffin is still squarely in Crompton's corner and hasn't budged about keeping him in the starting lineup, though he has cut the senior off from the media this week to try to limit distractions.
