Preseason Football Week 1: Washington 22, Tennessee 21

Few have been impressed by any showing by 4th string quarterback Pat White of West Virginia so far at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center.

The residents of Nashville, Tennessee saw a different Pat White in their fair city as he led the Redskins on the winning drive, running for a touchdown and passing for the winning two-point conversation as the Redskins upended the Titans in the preseason opener for both teams, 22-21.

White led the Redskins on an 80-yard drive to score the winning TD/2-pointer with 2:23 to go, but had lady luck on their side, as a fumble in the end zone after a White pass recovered by Tennessee was nullified after a roughing the passer penalty on the Titans.

Evan Royster and Roy Helu, Jr. both had strong showings as they fight to get behind Alfred Morris on the depth chart. Morris did not play, while Royster rushed 14 times for 62 yards, Helu, Jr 13 times for 57 yards.

Kirk Cousins started as the Redskins began their planned "RGIII-Less Preseason", going 6-of-7 for 52 yards and a touchdown pass to the returning tight end Fred Davis to open the scoring.

Washington (1-0) returns to Richmond Friday and hit the practice field at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center on Saturday at 1pm.....
