I'm hearing Worley is possibly out...

Unless the freshman redshirt options are out, that pretty much means Peterman if true.

I think he will choose the best option--regardless of year. I also wouldn't have a problem with letting both freshmen play, like Fulmer did with Peyton and Brandon Stewart.

10 consecutive 3 and outs is a good reason for the defense to get abused against the best offense in CFB...and guess who is responsible for those 3 and outs...Worely....some of you kill me...get your heads out of the sand!!!!!! defense is far from great, but they can't do much against a truly elite offense when there is 10 consecutive 3 and outs...

Fact is both QB and Defense are two huge issues. They're both equal bc they are so vital.

It's more difficult to tell when the WR makes mistakes (beyond the drops).

Spurrier teaches his QBs to throw to a spot on the field, not a receiver. If our O uses the same philosophy, then you could easily see how young WRs are a big part of the problem - not being in the right spot for the throw. But I haven't heard that coach B employs the same philosophy. Just a thought.

I know we supposedly had an open competition throughout fall camp, but did Peterman or the Freshmen ever see any significant time with the full first team offenseーOL and all? I don't think we did, so it's hard to know how good any of them are really.

I'm not sure Peterman is worlds ahead of Worley, but it seems like he at least has the arm strength to hit a receiver in stride down the field (even if he does stare down receivers).

Exactly . . . and focusing on the QB two days after getting 59 points hung on your defense is probably a sign of mental illness.

You surely know that a better performance from our qb would equal more points for us and less for them, right?

Really good post. Would be curious to know the answer to that one.

If timing is a major issue they can change the type patterns to more stationary targets. Less YPC, but at least they could move the sticks more. However, what I have observed with Worley is bad footwork causing his inaccuracy. In that case there is not much that can change the result other than going with a better QB.

I have to believe Peterman of Fergurson have better wheels for the read option. In order for this scheme to work there has to be a threat of the QB running the ball.

Surely it would be Peterman. I wouldn't take the redshirt off any of the freshmen, if possible.
GO VOLS!

Talk about a stretch. You throw to a spot on curl routes, out routes, etc, not a post pattern or a drag route. I'm all for trying to be positive but , come on man! He's flat out missing. Yes we have WR issues but some of his throws are inexcusable.

Thats true but there was times I really thought we only had 10 guys out there on defense. Saw too many plays that it looked as if everthing was covered, a guy chasing their qb and all of a sudden he tosses it to somebody without a defender within 10 yrds of em.

Almost 1/4 of our entire offensive output came from one pass on Saturday. Our average running the ball was less than 3.67 YPC in the first half. This O-Line is not built to run the ball, no matter who is behind the line.

We have a ton more issues than just Worley. Besides, he didn't take a sack, nor did he throw a pick. Worley didn't play us out of that game, no matter what anyone says.

I don't disagree at all. I'm just saying we should have kept their offense off the field for longer periods of time.

What about the missed completion to Croom, who was butt naked open at the Oregon 15 when we were down 17-7? How many times did he underthrow or overthrow Josh Smith? He may not have had any detrimental throws or turnovers, but he did absolutely NOTHING to help us stay in that game. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Period.

I disagree. Maybe he didn't cost us the game, but he sure as heck didn't do anything to keep us in it either.

Great . . . We could have lost by 35 instead.

I'm not saying that Worley's play isn't problematic. If the offense could have stayed on the field more, it would have further delayed the inevitable. But I just don't think switching QBs is going to cure as many things as some seem to think.
