Being dominant at one thing covers up the weaknesses everywhere else

Don't understand what you are saying?

Are many people thinking that with Patterson coming in that Bowles, Croom and Howard will Redshirt? It would be nice to allow those guys to have a year in the system to learn, beef up and be ready in 2013 in case Rogers (most definitely) and Hunter (probably) bolt for the NFL.

Out of curiosity, how many games do you see UT winning this season?

Would have been Gators until Hunter went down. Specious point since first team we played with home and home was Florida and Hunter, and the passing game this thread is premised on, was gone 3 minutes in.

This may not necessarily be dominat but last year against florida you're cornerbacks had a hard time covering da'rick alone. I'm not one for what if's but I'm pretty damn sure we would'a beat florida last year if hunter didn't go down.

Not a good example - if the UF DBs could catch a football thrown at their chest, they would've had 6 pics in that game

You shouldn't waste time and 4 lines of text. Why didn't you just say: FIRE DOOLEY. That's what you really meant, right?

The only WR we have on the roster that is proven as of now is DR, Hunter is coming of an ACL injury, CP is not even on campus, and our QB has only put up huge numbers against the weakest of teams. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The potential is there.

From the playcalling in the O&W game, it looks like downs, clear, and rivera better be ready for a lot of dump passes and things across the middle.

I like your optimism, but there are still too many questions on defense and unless we can be just mediocre in the punting and place kicking games, I am not so sure.
