Judging from stats

[fade route]

Blacked out from Comcast here in Arky, I'm just following the game on gamescast (espn). From stats it looks like we are going to struggle throwing the ball downfield this year. 119 yds passing 3/4 of the way through the game against AP? I expected more - I know we are young, but just about everyone on here, myself included, predicted over 250 yds passing. Looks like D is playing good (granted, its Peay) and good to see us run the ball well. Thoughts from anyone who is watching??

We're not throwing the ball much

 

[DaphneVol]

We haven't really tried to throw it down field much. We've had a few where the QB put it a step behind the receiver, North adjusted and made a grab and the defender broke one up on blanc. I'm more worried about defending the pass...

 

[mreed90]

We are running it down their throat. So it's ok.

 

[DD4ME]

The offensive dissapointment if there is one has been the passing game. Recievers and Worley were to blame.

 

[KBVol]

Really just committed to running the ball. Thought passing game was fairly crisp with Worley. Would've been much better if Worley had been more accurate on a couple throws.

 

[keckjm]

The worry is defending the pass. Our secondary is going to struggle.

 

[BSOVOL1967]

Worley was 11/13 with 104 yards passing and 3 touchdowns in the first half and UT mostly ran the ball in the 1st half, plus we had 317 total yards in the 1st half. I thought Worley looked good tonight, of course I realize it was Austin Peay but I thought he played well and Tennessee looks a lot more disciplined already then they did at anytime last year.

Our recievers are too fast.

I like to look at the stats and see good things. Like the fact we haven't had a single penalty yet, but that's just me.

Nope not even close

The passing game will be a liability against SEC competition.

Our offense isnt set up for a bray throw down the field. Its set up for cutbacks screens & short slants. We'll do just fine.

Unless it picks up this.

Worley was behind the reciever several times.

Worley can't throw, peterman hangs on to the ball too long, it's "ok cuz the running game is good" - well lets see if we can run like this on an SEC team

 

[allvol123]

Can't tell much from this game because AP is awful.

You can tell we have a well coached team now. So that's new.

 

[nashvol1]

Peterman stares down every time

 

[majic73]

butch's offenses are predicated on running and short to medium high percentage passes . This is all done at a fast pace.

The Playstation offense that you saw last year is over , done with and gone.

 

[SamQB7]

We are going to have our hands full with Western Kentucky next week. I know that much. This game showed exactly what I thought... We have an about average first squad, and very poor depth.

 

[Sandman 423]

yeah, the Peterman people need to sit down for a little while. Worley looked way better with his reads and even running the read option.

I'm afraid your correct

Not as much as the pass defense.

 

[truevol8]

We are a well disciplined team with no penaltys at all. Very well satisfied with the way our Team 117 played tonight.Great things are about to happen.

indeed, our second team offense/defense leaves much to be desired....depth or lack of depth won't work in SEC play
