Listen, Vol fans! I really don't believe Tennessee has a secret weapon. If we did, he would have been playing all along. If CBJ says or implies that neither Freshman are ready to go, I accept that at face value. However, I do believe that either Freshmen qb will get live game experience either as mopup duty or "Let's see if either one of you freshmen qbs has the touch!" duty. I'm confident that CBJ has way more football coaching experience and expertise than ANYBODY else on this message board.

So.... regarding implementing a fullback we will put you down for a NO.

I actually think the freshman Qbs are going to be used Sat. CBJ sees he has nothing to lose and a lot to gain. He's made the right calls up to now and is prepared to finish out the season with a Freshman Qb.

Throw ferguson in and see if he can be a play maker. If he is like peterman and gets shell shocked then we can always go back to Worley. If Ferguson can play then maybe we can make a bowl and win a couple we aren't supposed to.

Crompton had a top of the line QB coach teaching him. Kiffin was an arse, but he could coach QB's. What he did to Crompton vs UGA single handedly made 95% of VolNation fall in love with him.

Crompton also had a really strong arm, which is something Worley doesn't posses.

they would know that based on what he does at practice... if he was play maker he would have started over Peterman last week but he hasn't shown to be better than him, yet

I don't think Butch is anxious to have a repeat of last Saturday with a freshman at the controls.. his best chance to win ball games is not with a freshman.. neither of these kids could push Peterman for # 2..

Now, if either get a chance tomorrow to play some reps, fans are going to likely get all giddy for them to play more. But the difference in S Alabama and SEC schools is like High School and NFL..

If you mean the class that will sign in Feb. 2014, they do not have any commitments at this time, nor were they going to because we had other positions with more need. They felt that with the four we have, it wouldn't be necessary. For the class that will sign in Feb. 2015, I'm certain they will.

they are still trying to flip the kid over in North Carolina. they have not closed that door at all and are still working hard.

they have too many positions of need to fix them all with this class. gonna take a couple more classes

Id take a tyler bray qb over aj mccarron any day of the week

For a long time AJ was considered a game manager more than anything else. It took him until recently to show he was more than just efficient. Really, the A&M game was his coming out party as a big time passer but to deny AJ's ability sling it after that is to deny reality.

Why does everyone think it's Fergy? I'm talking beyond the partisanship of liking one or the other. I haven't really read anything that gives us much info. on either of them and where they are right this minute.

The only thing that I've got to think Fergy over Dobbs is that Dobbs' major makes him a more logical redshirt. However, I'm not so sure that's going to figure into a coaching decision. I also feel like Fergy is more apt to leave if he doesn't get a shot since again Dobbs chose us for the major and baseball whereas there's a lot less holding Fergy here if he becomes disgruntled. But again, I'm not so sure that that matters to the coaches since those are all human aspects rather than football aspects and of course, for all we know Fergy may be happy as can be and Dobbs stewing about starting. We just don't know on these matters.

So what's the rationale for Fergy over Dobbs right now? Personally, I don't have any clue. I expected Worley to start at UF and was shocked that Peterman won the start.

one of them will be getting prepared to take over should Worley go down. that may lead to one getting reps this Saturday. depends on how the game goes.

Neither are ready to get snaps at this point. If Worley went down and one had to take over the offense would look worse than last week's first half. Not a good running game and inexperience at WR not a good mix with true freshmen QBs that are not ready to play. Would be really, really ugly..

I think many are willing to throw this season away if it means either of the fr qbs use this season to get live action so they are ready for next year. I am not sure where I stand.

One of them will get reps this wknd. Its the weakest team we play here on out, andwe are playing in Neyland. It's better to have this baby born now than to wait till we are on the freeway during rush hour.

there is no assurance that they would be anymore ready by playing this year. Personally, I think Worley keeps the job through next year.. of course, I've been wrong before :)

I've been one for holding on to the red-shirt status while the receiving core matures a year, the o-line acclimates to the new scheme, and the RB/HB situation shows more depth and assertiveness. However, with Peterman out due to injury, I don't think we have a choice. I'm betting RF takes snaps before game's end tomorrow. If so, I can only hope he's a play-maker.

I think Jones probably will and should keep Worley as starter until the WR's come around more. If the passing game improves then he obviously keeps playing. If it becomes undeniable that he's the hold up then someone else moves up.

I know when you cant run the ball people will load the box, but all summer long all i heard was how this big and bad OL was one of the top in the country, looks like we would just line up and look across the line and just maul there azz if we are all that good at least try it instead of trying to play the up tempo version of the quack attact, we dont have the horses to run in the derby every time i look at our hurry up offence it reminds me of trying to run a mule in the kentucky derby, just line up and maul the h@LL OUT OF THEM.

I do trust the coaches.

But how many times have you seen a back-up QB be forced into a game and he turns out to be THE GUY? No one -- not even the coaches -- knew it, because for some guys the switch never flips on until they are in a real game. I think that's what all of us are hoping for.

Kind of like Tom Brady taking over New England after Drew Bledsoe got hurt. Wished we could have some luck like that.
