Davis Tull didn’t belong in the Southern Conference.

Plenty of quality football players pass through that conference, and some even succeed in the NFL. But watching Tull, who starred for Tennessee-Chattanooga, play against that level of competition, it almost seemed unfair.

It became worse in nonconference games, when Tennessee-Chattanooga played the likes of Tennessee Tech. In those games, Tull, who was picked by the Saints in the fifth-round of the NFL draft, almost made a mockery of the proceedings.

Down after down, play after player, he was in the backfield, creating pressure or making life miserable for the quarterback. There’s one play against Tennessee Tech from last season when Tull trucked not one, but two running backs serving in protection and had the quarterback dead-to-rights. The only person who could stop him was a teammate, who tripped and took out his legs.

The performance was stunning. From start to finish, he was in the backfield, making the other players on the field look like props and standees. No one could stop him.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
