I don't see it. Worley is a very inaccurate passer. We should be running the ball a lot better than what we are with who we've played.
The defense is below average, the 6 turnovers from yesterday make them look a lot better than what they really are.
I hope they win all of them, but it won't happen.
Worley was fine in the 2nd half. Our offense was barely on the field in the 1st half due to the defense forcing so many turnovers.
People aren't worried about his accuracy or his decision making but whether or not he can make the big throws. In the 2nd half he did. He's not going to be the best QB we've ever had arm wise but he is serviceable and once the timing gets worked about between him and the inexperienced receivers all will be fine.
When he played as a backup, he had the arm but accuracy issues. Now it's the reverse but a lot of that is people still learning routes and our offense so far using a lot of short passes and the run.

Tenn can plausibly end up 3-9, 4-8 by seasons end with that schedule.

Worley has not hit a wide receiver in stride yet this year.
We knew coming into the year we would rely heavily on the OL and RB, but Worley throws the way he has the first two games against quality defenses he'll average more complete passes to the other team than ours.

UGA and SC seem like the best bets. We lost to each of them by one possession last year, and they're both at home. Will be good games.
Out of Oregon and UF, i don't really think we have much of a shot, but if we can beat one if them, it will be florida.
Bama...they're a little regressed after last year, but theyre still bama. Will be tough to pull this one out at their place. We need Casey Clausen back.
I just want a team that will show up and play hard for 4 quarters no matter the score ends up being. That is something we never had with Doofus Dooley.

Yeah he did. Did you not see him nail passes to Josh Smith and Johnathan Johnson? He even turned them into bullets instead of the limp passes he'd been throwing earlier.
He ain't great right now but he's serviceable and very good with short passing and should improve. If he doesn't improve on that (and part of it is also on our receivers catching balls they should catch and running better routes) then yeah, he's going to be in trouble when he makes the big throws. It's obvious Worley is a timing QB right now rather than one who is improvisational (he needs to get better at getting the ball there when the timing is off or the route out of sync). But oddly enough, he's great at some of the harder throws for QBs but not so great at the long ones. Hopefully, he gets better sooner rather than later but he does have some skills and knows how to manage the game.
Remember, despite Bray being coached by Doolz and being too stubborn and immature to do more than rely on his arm, he's probably the most talented QB arm-wise we've ever had (at least since Peyton). Worley, any QB really, is going to look awful compared to that, especially during the growing pains.
Peterman looked awful during the AP game. So for now, Worley's our man.

If Tennessee goes 3-3, Butch Jones may end up as coach of the year. No way that happens.

Exactly. The SEC is going to be wild.
