The game marked the beginning of the preseason and the Titans took the win 21-18. More importantly, the both the starting offense and defense looked sharp.
A fake punt that turned into a 40-yard touchdown run got the scoring started in the first quarter. Rookie punter A.J. Trapasso out of Ohio State did the honors.
Over the years Jeff Fisher has become notorious for pulling out trick plays, and this one might have been one of his best. The ironic thing is, we may never see it again. Fisher may have just pulled that out to give defenses something else they have to worry about when the Titans are next on the schedule.
The big looming question for Titans fans coming into this game was how Vince Young would look. Young has been very outspoken this offseason about his desire to start and his belief that he will be in the Hall of Fame one day. What better place to show that off than in Canton, Ohio?
Things definitely didn't get off on the right foot by throwing an ugly interception on his first drive. He looked more like the Vince Young we saw burying his face in his hands last September than a he did a future Hall of Famer.
He would bounce back somewhat by throwing a pretty fade pass to Paul Williams in the back of the endzone. Young would finish the day 5 for 10 with 39 yards passing.
All in all, the Titans looked great in the preseason opener. Just don't take too much from this win because sadly enough, it's only preseason.
