Zach Mettenberger's new look creates buzz

The Titans made it official on Thursday: rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger will start against the Texans at LP Field on Sunday (noon, WZTV-17, 102.5-FM).

The sixth-round pick from LSU will replace Jake Locker, who is coming back from a thumb injury and has missed the past two games, and Charlie Whitehurst, who started three games in place of Locker this season.

Mettenberger had a new look when he met with the media on Thursday after practice. It quickly drew some interesting comparisons on Twitter.
