Thanks Freak! I had put myself in a position by halftime Saturday where I found it difficult to clearly remember all the details of Dobbs play...This helped greatly. We moved the ball pretty well with him, and Bama still had some starters in. Nice

Look at the small details in this video. Watch when our running back get hit just past the line of scrimmage. They move backwards. When Bama's backs are hit in the same position they fall forward to are able to keep moving forward. When our receivers are trying to get off the line of scrimmage they are stopped for a second during their release, Bama's are not, Oregon's are not, Florida State's are not. This is a clear indication of talent, speed, and strength.

When we had Jamal, Travis, Travis among others, our back use to get hit and keep moving forward. Our receivers use to get a clean release off the line of scrimmage, making the timing plays more effective.

I have no doubt when our speed and talent is where it should be (the incoming class) we will see a huge difference in the results.

Cant wait for the next set of good wide receivers to come in and help out our offense. You cant be hit between the numbers and still drop it.

I counted three easy drops and a fourth that should have been caught. Drive stoppers for sure.

Thanks Freak! I am really excited to see what Dobbs can do with a week of practice getting all his reps with first team. Hopefully we won't hae to burn "Cooper's" redshirt

I thought the young man did well considering the defense he was facing and his first collegiate start on the road in a hostile environment. Really excited about the fUTure and the direction this team is headed.

I say again, this time with video evidence above thanks to the Freakster:

12 passes, 1 poorly thrown (very last one)

I love and appreciate Worley, but the future is bright.

Seems to be a dead give away that every time the QB is under center it's a run. I noticed that a few games ago. Also...that play where the QB rolls to the right and throws to the left seems to work almost every time. That's a well designed play.

Is it possible the red defense was playing a jam / man to man coverage where TN's defense was giving more cushion, trying to keep everything in front of them to avoid the big play?

We're starting a 6'-4" and a 6'-5" WR who were both very high 4* players out of HS. Maybe they're slower than what you desire, but I can't imagine the commited guys having more talent or strength? That's the largest WR set in UT's history.

I like our current WR group. They are very young but once they gain experience and become more sure handed I think they will please even the harshest critics.

I was encouraged by his performance. He wasn't exactly helped by all of the receivers. His danger to keep it seemed to open up the run quite a bit. He has a rocket of an arm, and is accurate. Bama was dialing up blitzes; they were not giving him anything.

He needs to get down sooner when he keeps it. That could have been bad on Bama's 7 yrd line.

The roll out pass to Johnson was a thing of beauty.

Also the completion to North where he rolled out to his right , checked down, found the open man and fired a strike.

The one to North that was incomplete was a thread the needle that should've been caught. You can't see it as well here, but on the replay during the broadcast it was right in the numbers and a nice defensive play to break it up.

How do you get that? I saw two passes that were not on target. One was tipped at the line; the other looked like a mis-communication on route. If you don't mind, and I understand if not, please go back and review the video. Post the video times of his inaccurate passes.

Thanks.

:hi:

It looked like his last throw was tipped at the line. Other than one other tipped pass, there weren't any that were off target. The long one was underthrown but perfectly placed for Blanc to make the catch. He just dropped it.

Watching it again, I think Dobbs is much more accurate with his passing. looked like 1 bad throw out of 12 for 92% accuracy. Given the situation not to shabby. Throw in several bad drops and a couple of good D plays, one of which could have been PI (like they would call PI).
Good running ability too (please SLIDE) so it seems we "may" have a good QB on our hands although too early to be sure.

Here is your chance Mr Dobbs, you can DO IT! Stay calm, make good decisions, don't try to do to much, and don't make any huge mistakes! And did I mention please slide? We have enough injured QB's!!

Actually accuracy and technique were the things holding Dobbs back in practice early on. Maybe he is just a gamer, or maybe he was thinking too much in practice about technique and not just cutting it loose.
