338 yards to USA's 151 at halftime, for anyone interested

I love butch but if he does not playing the freshman in these easy games its not very smart.

 

[17Vols]

Pig had his moments, then he had some ugly ones too.

 

[Other_Guy]

I blame Butch. Why throw right there and chance taking points off the board. We can do that against USA but that won't fly against Georgia, Carolina or Bama.

Stupid post. 25 seconds left after a 2 yard loss what's wrong with passing?

 

[ToptheTerrible]

This. He'll learn....eventually....maybe..

Hopefully...

 

[EricberryFAN]

Pig Howard=Gerald Jones

No. Not even close.

 

[GOVOLS 1]

Huh?

I think he meant whole game

 

[MattR11]

Would of been nice to have those point but its ok. Worley is at least showing flashes of being able to do his job. I still think the game is happening too fast for worley

 

[OrangeBloodinTN]

This game is all
About getting Worley some confidence. I like how Worley is looking today. Love the running game

You're right. This team desperately needs a leader. We haven't had one yet. I think coach is letting Worley take it. I see improvement and the sparks of rhythm on this o.

 

[JAEvans24]

Not when we need points.

I think we always need points. With that said, we have a 17 point lead.

Secondly, Butch still didn't call a dangerous play. It was a 5 yard out route; pretty routine throw. Just a bad play in its execution.

We'll get it.

Agree. Redshirt one but the other has to see the field in these easy games. He has no choice if Worley gets hurt and not to sound negative but in these next tough sec games it happens. Why not have him at least see the fled before he's thrown in.

 

[ToptheTerrible]

not too bad so far, sorta

This. Killer post.

Dude the starters are having a hard time BEATING these easy teams. If you're just wanting them to get some playing time for down the road, I'm sorry but Worley needs all the snaps he can get.

 

[patrick]

CBJ better get Ferguson or Dobbs in the game to get one of them some reps because Worley wont get it done against UGa

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Maybe Worley needs the reps more.

 

[omghulkhands]

Agreed, obvious passing down

 

[TNnative]

They asked about qb play and he said unless Worley is injured its him the whole way.

All he said when asked was no. Who knows at this point? Wouldn't surprise me if he plugs in Tyler Page if needed.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Anybody got Dish network? Just got home and can't find it.

 

[wherewolf]

lol and now you're backpeddling.

The throw wasn't that bad at all. There was no R there to catch it.

You are frothing at the mouth for anything to jump on- every single week. It is kind of annoying.

Not back pedaling. That throw was two feet over Pig's head.

I'm not looking for anything every week. It's looking for me. Worley is the worst Vol QB I've ever seen.

I'll give credit when it's due, I've just never seen a Vol QB consistently make these kind of bad reads and throws since JCrompton.

Do you really think we can win SEC games with Worley?

I don't.

 

[molsen81]

Well, I guess most fans are satisfied with our performance so far. Until next week???

and fergs will against UGA? stop

I wish you were our coach, all our problems would be solved.

 

[UTProf]

Honestly, I don't care if Worley makes some questionable throws right now. His problem has been being too conservative, over thinking, and so worried about not making a mistake that he's played like a gambler who ante's himself right out of the game without ever placing a bet. Now, he's loosening up and finally finding his arm and his targets and his WRs are doing the same.

Him finally learning to stop overthinking every pass and finally slinging it is a process where INTs are gonna happen and this is the perfect time to get those out of the way.

 

[EastTN]

bUTch gets it......I bet he reads VOLNATION

 

[vSphereGuy]

Dude the starters are having a hard time BEATING these easy teams. If you're just wanting them to get some playing time for down the road, I'm sorry but Worley needs all the snaps he can get.

What if worley gets hurt in the next 4 weeks against GA, USCe, etc?

Then he has no choice but to put one of them in with Peterman hurt. And he will be sending in a true freshman QB with 0 game experience.
