- This one is about 85% on Worley. Without two end zone picks and a game changing turnover in the third 3rd, this ends up a 45-14 type of game.

- The Defense lacks a lot of talent but plays hard. Not too many issues what they bring week end and week out. They were simply on the field the entire 2nd half and are constantly put in bad spots by the Offense.

- Pig Howard is terrible. Would love to see Smith start in the slot.

- Play calling is terrible. Should just pound the rock and screw the read option

- Looking forward to seeing more of Vereen

I don't agree with this.

I am real excited about Vereen he is better than the Senior DE's. I don't understand some of the play calls. Pig is the type of guy you get the ball to in space. All the long throws should be to tall guys like Croom and North. Smith would definitely be a better slot receiver.

The defense is slower than molasses, but they don't make mental mistakes too often. I can't put blame on them, considering how hard they play.

I didn't like how we kept throwing passes on 1st down in the 4th quarter when we would get 6-7 yards almost every time we ran. Especially during the 3 and out drive in the 4th quarter with 7 minutes left. We threw 3 passes then punted. I would've rather ran 3 runs then punted.

I really want to see a replay of the false start fake field goal play. I didn't see a single one of our players move. I want to see the replay to see if anybody did, in fact, move.

Pig caused at least 1 INT when he stopped on the route.

I'm not sure that Pig was supposed to sit in the hole, not extend the route out of the end zone. Pig will be a stud along with North, Croom, and Smith. I think UT has some good receivers. They are young and will make mistakes. Worley is the biggest problem along with an offensive line that should be playing a lot better.

We get the ball down within the 10 and run pass plays that get intercepted ... why did we quit running the ball. Our staff must realize Worsley is not Manning and he is only going to get super embarrasses in the future. The frickinnn offensive cood should get his ass tore off for that stupid arose play calling in the 2 and half.. I am do upset with play calling and Worleys sub par qtb.

Croom could be WREAKIN' FREAKIN' HAVOC as a Tight End, with his size and agility, catching 10 yard passes in middle of the field and then YAC. He's a matchup problem for the defense at TE. He's not a matchup problem at WR. That's one reason to play him at TE. The other is that with Worley we should be keeping the passing game as simple as possible.

Ware, the TV analyst, at the half showed how bad Worley's footwork was on a couple of throws. Instead on stepping forward into the throws with left leg and foot, on a couple of passes his his left leg and foot were way out to left--body stance completely open--when he tried to throw down the field. Impossible to throw well or accurately in that position.

This. Worley is average at best, but he is getting better and can hit an open WR. However, if this team wants to go to a bowl and beat some teams that have equal to more talent, then Butch needs to quit throwing the ball so much.

I get that he wants balance. I get what he's trying to do. But, he's got to learn how to run some clock and extend the game. You do this by running the football, which is the one thing this team can do. Butch wants big plays. Those are nice, but what I want is 3-4 yards and a cloud of dust. 15 play, 8 minute drive, rest the defense. That's how we almost upset Alabama under Kiffin and kept it closer against UF that year too. Oh, and we also beat South Carolina and UGA doing it too. As the season progressed, so did the passing game. Butch needs to hang his hat on the run. He just hasn't done it enough. If he continues to put the game in Worley and the WR's hands as much as he has, he'll be lucky to win 6 games.

After the first series of the second half - we went run, run, pass - 3 or 4 series in a row without any success - what game were you at? We struggled to run it in the second half. Play calling was gosh awful.

And this was against S. Alabama - did you see us running at will against Florida? I don't care who you are if you are in the SEC you better have some balance or you will get your azz handed to you.
