As far as I'm concerned, he's already a better UT QB than Bray was. Bray never beat a ranked team. Bray always seemed to make a critical mistake in crunch time, whereas Worley has given us a chance to win in our last 2 games vs top 15 teams, and we pulled one out.
He's nowhere near the talent Bray was but he's a far better leader, and like you said, he doesn't put the defense in a hole. Which has been enough to stay competitive with Palardy punting well.
Bray is a punk, no doubt. But let's be honest, if Bray had this defense last year, we could very well have won 9 regular season games.

Absolutely. There's no sense in ignoring that Worley had three straight possessions with great start fielding position, and only managed to get a FG because North bailed him out on a jump ball. Worley would struggle with getting a starting job at UTC. I'm happy he didn't throw any picks, but sometimes I wonder if his accuracy was any better he might have more. Luckily it's so bad, most his throws aren't any closer to one of their guys than ours.
That win was all defense.
(I hate being negative after such a big win. There were a lot of good things in that win, but none of them was because of Worley's arm.)

You would probably be right, but the defense wouldn't look as good because Bray was a safe bet to throw a few picks during big games. It would still have been good enough to win 8 or 9 though like you said.
In my belief however, the only stat that matters is the one on the scoreboard, and Worley was at the helm of a team who pulled off an upset, something Bray never did.
