with well connected alumni. Take it for what it's worth.
1. Gus took over play calling for the UGA game. That's why it resembled the Clemson confusion.
2. Jeremy has applied for "medical hardship" to get another year of eligibility. He plans on transferring after this season so he can play for a year. As a result, he's not an option at qb.
3. SW has a torn labrum.

The first thing isn't true.

The second thing may be true.

The third thing is probably true.

Don't put it past him. He has a huge ego.

The few shots I saw of him, he didn't even have a play chart, so i strongly doubt he was calling plays.

The play calling looked exactly like what we had early in the season. The series we scored is the series we ran the ball down the field on a 15 play drive. After that there was a bunch of gimmicky things and passes. I felt gus was calling the plays while watching the game. I don't know if it is true, but its what it seemed like.

1. Don't believe that for a minute. Gustav may be many things, but our struggles on offense against Vandy weren't enough for him to go full retard and stop what had been working for the past several weeks.
2. Interesting possibility. The fact that Tyler Queen went out for mop-up duty in the final minutes of the LAMO game instead of JJ lends credence to this story.
3. He seemed to be throwing like it. I'm afraid his season maybe over.

Just like ours

Or the play calling looked exactly like the play caller was missing his best RB, had a dinged up RB2, AND had an injured QB with no viable passer to back him up.

I mean, I have been critical of Gus, but for real. 25% of the O was hurt or not playing. Not sure what else they could have done.

#1 just seems like it came from someone with a lazy imagination

It's one of those things we speculated about at the time of the loss and thus should be instantly doubted when it filters back to us through anonymous PTB

At least put in JF3 and launch the ball downfield a time or two, it may loosen up the defense a little, especially if he gets lucky and connects. He did have a beautiful long TD pass the last time he had significant playing time.

They knew SW couldn't throw the ball more than 15 yards, that's why they were covering so tight.

I have no trouble believing #2 and #3.

I'm fascinated by our QB dilemma now.

- SW is a bad QB when injured. Sounds like surgery could be likely.
- JJ is unavailable
- JF3 is worse than an injured SW (at least the coaches believe so)
- WB is redshirting
- We don't know if Tyler Queen is alive

So I think that leaves us with that chunky walk-on

I completely understand your skepticism. Not by any measure am I saying that this info is correct. Heck, they may have read it on message boards too. But, these guys are big money donors.

You put it like that I feel we have become a failed sitcom.

1) FALSE -
2) Believed to be true, but he played in games early in the season, so not sure that is possible.
3) High probability of truth

For a particular reason besides he just isn't that good? I frankly wouldn't mind seeing him this weekend if White can't go. What's the worst that happens?
