It wasnt supposed to go this way. When Justin Worley, Nathan Peterman and Joshua Dobbs met with the media to kick off fall camp last week, Peterman might as well have been a ghost. Everyone focused on Worley and Dobbs, the two QBs who were supposed to battle it out for the starting job throughout August, and largely ignored Peterman.
And that was probably justifiable. Petermans lone start last year was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. His final stat line: 4/11 for 5 yards with two interceptions, two fumbles (one on a handoff exchange and one on a sack) and one broken thumb in a half of action on the road against the Gators.
Yet, after nine practices, Peterman, not Dobbs, is the one currently pushing Worley for snaps even earning first-team reps earlier this week.
I think Nate Peterman really took some really important steps in moving forward today and so did Justin Worley, Butch Jones said about his quarterbacks after Saturdays scrimmage.
While Worley has been getting the vast majority of first-team reps, Peterman has surpassed Dobbs as the No. 2 quarterback. In fact, Peterman was the most accurate QB during open portions of practice this week and consistently connected with receivers on deep balls an area Worley and Dobbs have struggled mightily.
I feel like Im always making strides, Peterman said in regards to his accuracy. But I always feel like Ive got to get better. Youre never there never arrived so Im always trying to get better.
I feel a lot more comfortable and I think everybody is feeling a lot more comfortable in knowing their assignments. It frees them up to go and make some big plays because theyre not worried about their assignments so much The whole offense is getting so much better because were developing comfort in the offense.
