The blowout losses to Oregon, MU, AU, and Bama and the loss to Vandy were also "legit".

On the season:

One good win.

One "good" loss.

Four bad losses- expected but margin was more than it should have been

One VERY bad loss to a significantly less talented team.

And right on cue here you come. Why don't you cheer for Bama or some other team? You are the definition of a negative nancy.

Neither Worley or Dobbs had the playmakers to work with. It is doubtful that Bray, McCarron, or you name the QB---would have done much better with the inexperience at WR and TE that Worley and Dobbs played with.

I can buy that Worley would have made a difference. I cannot buy that that is a legit excuse. UT isn't the first team to need a back up QB and even a Fr to play.

So......Worley being out did or did not hurt the team?
I'm confused because you just said both.

Could not agree more. This was a much better football team with Worley.

I agree but you have to admit that Dobbs was thrown under the fire and did decent for a freshman. Worley definitely would have done better but at least Dobbs has experience and can grow

I know this much, this team played an incredibly tough schedule (top 4 SEC teams in successive weeks), and had much less talent than our 2012 team, but achieved the same record and 2 things our 2011 and 2012 teams did not; win on the road and beat a ranked team.

Will be interesting to see who the qb will be next year. But I do know that the one that is selected by the coaches will be the one that gives ut the best shot to win.

Worley was clearly the best for this years team.

Of course it did. But if Dobbs had been being developed the way you would expect from a staff that can be trusted to develop ALL the players UT needs to win.... then he wouldn't have struggled so badly.

Yes. It hurt. Yes. Dobbs should have been more ready than he was.

Why instead of attacking me don't you engage in intelligent conversation? If you think that many bad games are erased by one good win then state your case. If you think there were players who improved over the course of the year, make your argument. If you can cite some guys who weren't contributors to start the season but came on strong at the end because they were coached up... name them.

The only reason SC didn't beat us is because Spurrier didn't stretch our D to the outside with swing routes and sweeps. It's our Achilles heel of our defense.

Glad to have that win. Sad the season is over. We have a lot of work to do between now and next year. GBO.

Hard to predict that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string guys in front of him would all be injured. The coaches only have so much time and Dobbs didn't even get on campus until late summer.

I'm guessing next spring will mainly be a Worley / Ferguson competition. Dobbs looked better today but it was, after all, Kensucky.

Either of those guys and we at minimum go to a bowl. Beat Florida and Vandy for sure.

And the best part is that he made every excuse in the book for Dooley. At least with jones we see that he can recruit, which is a hell of a lot more than we can say for Dooley.

You are right man Dobbs should have like an all SEC QB with having 3 Sr's in D Moore, G Jones, and L Stocker to throw to, oh wait that was Bray in 2010.

Dobbs still had J hunter, CP and Rivera to throw to, no dangit that was last year.

I just do not think you get it, Dobbs is a kid, who is a true freshman, who is 18 years old, playing with young inexperienced receivers.

I know we are not as smart as Dobbs but this is not rocket science. It is hard enough for a true freshman QB to play in the SEC but compound that by being surrounded by young inexperienced receivers, and then compound that by playing against the 2 teams that are playing in the SECCG and then compound that when playing against Vandy, you lose arguably your only play maker at receiver in the second series on offense.

Wow you really go out of your way to put UT down don't you? I never said anything about the losses not being legit, they were. The point I was making was that I have seen people say the SC win was luck or they were not that good. Both of those reasons are BS. SC is a very good team and we beat them straight up.
