'15 TX QB Quinten Dormady (UT Commit 6/9/14)

Sad thing is though that regardless of who plays QB it is going to be another difficult year. If Tennessee goes .500 with the youth on the offensive line, that is an accomplishment.

6 wins. That is all we need to keep things moving in the right direction. 6 wins and a bowl game. Winning the bowl game would give a late boost to recruiting of course. MUST have a bowl game this year.

I am not worried so much about our OL. I am more worried about our DL, our LB depth, and inexperience in the secondary.

Tennessee has a lot of questions this year however young offensive lines (and by young I am saying that UT has precious little exp on the o-line to put it mildly) never do well in the SEC.

We have the WRs to beat the defense. Worley just has to focus on getting the ball out quickly. The OL IMO will run block well. It's just the pass blocking that will take time to gel. Quick passes and IMO the offense will move down the field.

I am not being argumentative but I think you are being really optimistic (and I am a realist). I expected much more from our o-line last year however you simply cannot replace that experience. Regardless inexperience in the offensive line is not a recipe for good run blocking or good pass protection; it just doesn't happen that way in the SEC.

We think we do. We're really banking on Malone and Pearson to contribute next to North. I agree that the chances are good, but we really don't know.

If we don't figure the LT spot, we won't be able to get passes off consistently.

Could always have the TE or RB help. We will be fine. I feel like half of the posters here think we will do fine enough (Not a great line but enough to get by), and the other half think that our QB will be sacked on every play. I think we see a lot more screens this season.

FYI - I just did some research on rushing in the 2013 season.....

Top 5 rushing teams in the SEC in order:

Aub
Mizzou
Bama
LSU
So Car

Make up of starting offensive line including tight end (I counted redshirt freshmen as Soph):

Aub Mizz Bama LSU SC
Fresh
Soph 3 3 2 2
Jr 3 1 2 3 3
Sr 2 4 1 1

UT may be starting at least two true freshmen linemen and a host of other linemen will very little playing time.

IMO UT rushes for 2350 yards in 2014 as a team. New OL gonna get it done! :loco:

Agree with this. If we win 6 in the reg. season, that will be sufficient. We win 7 in the reg. season, that will be gravy. Adding a bowl game win would be gravy with either of those and recruiting could get even more interesting.

You're a idiot if you think Worley didn't out play peterman. Odds are, We wouldn't have turned it over as much. Resulting in more points. Worley has problems with his plant foot. If he put in the work to fix his foot mechanics no way Dobbs will see playing time this year.

It was also rumored that he was told not to run outta the option because of the lack of depth. Just throwing that out there.

I'm pretty sure I never ONCE said Peterman outplayed Worley. Learn to read DA. I said Worley wasn't much better and was also turning it over and had 2 more that should have been intercepted. No we don't know if we would have scored more with Worley in the whole game. Last I checked that was the Coach's decision not either of ours. I really don't care at this point who is the QB as long as we win. Problem with Worley is he has very little arm strength and Dobbs arm is average also. Peterman has by far the better arm but who knows if he will be a college QB. Judging him off one half in a place Peyton nor Tee ever won at isn't very fair to him. So please read, interpret, understand then speak. Thankyou!

Expect other teams to come back band try to re-recruit him, i.e. Texas teams.

Texas got Gentry.

Texas Tech got Stidham.

TCU had offered but he picked the Vols instead.

Baylor took President at QB.

A&M took Murray.

I think we are ok. IF the staff tries to get greedy and take Gibson as a 3rd QB, Would not be shocked at all to see TCU back in play.

Possibly. If by "ATH" that means he lines up at WR day 1 I think we're good. They take Gibson and I would fully expect Quinten and especially his dad(coach) to question why take Gibson and where will he play. If the coaches are honest and says he will get a shot at QB along with Jennings as well, and IMO we could see some movement. JMO
