Obviously we lost a heart breaker tonight. I think we can all agree our Vols played their hearts out. One particular player was Justin Worley. Maybe it took him being benched for the spark to ignite bite Worley has really been stepping up especially as a passer. He is reading what the defense gives him and accurately hitting the receivers. I am extremely proud of his improvement. I hope he can keep it up. Oh! And props to Raijon Neal as well. Really a heck of a job all around to our offense actually.

It's not just Worley, I don't think the WR screwed up any routes and not too many dropped passes. If you take away the penalties, especially the cheesy ones called on the last drives, we played good and didn't quit after another slow start.

Folks that praise him now will be complaining about him as soon as he has an bad game. I think he's our best bet to win now.

Pig, Neal, North and Worley played big tonight. Corey Vereen was big too. Cam Sutton, Crooms, Branisel, AJ, hell, that whole team made me proud to be a VOLS fan today.

He played a better game tonight, I agree, but he also still has problems hitting receivers in stride (for whatever reason). And he also missed a few *wide* open plays -- as in, he never even saw the open guys. But at least he kept the ball a bit this week. Maybe he can keep that up.

Worley had a good game tonight. Exceeded my expectations. I thought he'd be on this level by the Oregon game though.

Worley had more total yards and higher YPC than Murray. Solid tonight with a lot of pressure on him. He's growing up and could be our starter for another year.

Very pleased with his performance tonight. My only real issue was he wouldn't run. Maybe the one run tonight showed him he can and want die lol.

I really liked what I saw tonight from worley. I mean he led us down the field to score and take the lead at the end. What more could you want??

...One knock on worley, I still think he needs to pull the ball more on the read option to keep defenses honest. His only rush was a first down!

IMO...Worley had time and space to see down field. Once he figured out how to see the field and feel the hold on the rush, he settled down and started to lock in on his receivers. Then he felt the game and the speed...and he changed. The speed of the game isn't so surreal to him after today. Now he can focus on his downfield vision, and check downs.

I'm really proud of him.

I agree...but I bet he does now in the future. He popped his cherry tonite, y'all.

He keeps that ball on the read after the first down completion to Croom in OT, he walks in. I thought we were setting up for it. Regardless, it was a hell of a game and Pig finally broke out.

Leading the team downfield to score at the end of the game is something we haven't seen in a while. In last year's game against ga, Bray couldn't do it and turned the ball over repeatedly.

Worley did everything you could ask for. I do hope to see him tuck it and run himself a little more. They repeatedly talk about the holes he would have if he did. But that's not a knock on him. I get it. He isn't really a rushing QB so it's out of his comfort zone. Besides, Neal was getting it done.

Oh, and I LOVE the multiple fourth down conversions. Especially the Worley pass. #Gutsy

I know, it was a beautiful drive..

Honestly I was on the edge of my seat that drive waiting for Worley to throw an Int or screw up but it never happened. haha

I gained a lot of confidence in Worley after this one.

I'm super proud of him tonight. For y'all saying he is still bad are ridiculous. He stepped up tonight big time
