I sure hope so. There is a very good chance Worley gets hurt a some point considering the hits he has and will continue to take.

Playing Peterman in a game like this is smart imo. Go Vols!!

It wouldn't hurt i don't think. May save Worley a few more hits. UTC is liable to get some pressure on him as well.

Let Worley start and take a series then it needs to be Peterman time. If it's even a possibility that he is the starter this year or next then we need to let him run the show in a game he can win. Hopefully, he can gain some confidence.

If this game plays out as it should, there is no excuse for Worley having to play the second half period. If he is having to play, you have to seriously question CBJ's coaching.

John Adams says in today's column in the KNS that he would let Worley take this week off and play Peterman.

Please , anyone but Peterman. A loss to Chattanooga would be even more humiliating.

Peterman shouldn't take another snap. If Worley gets hurt we may as well just go wildcat the rest of the season. Maybe we can work on that & actually get a play off without a flag.

It's almost like an experiment now. If Peterman comes out and looks like garbage against UTC, then he isn't fit to ever play another snap at Tennessee. At that point, play Wegzyn.

Not much point in playing Worley. With this O-line and the tough teams we have coming up, it would be a miracle if Worley isn't injured. We'll probably have to play Peterman at some point. Butch is stubborn. If he's determined to RS Dobbs, he's unlikely to change his mind late in the season with a bowl game looking like a long shot.

Come on guys we are not that good and have the luxury of sitting Worley. UTC is a decent team that could hang around for a half.

He should play the entire game IMO...Let him get some good reps and get used to being out there.

we have hitched our wagon to worley, so we need him to get in a rhythm this Saturday going into the next few games.

It'd be a terrible idea to play peterman then have worley come back to play for the OM and bama games. Worley has a lot of work to do, and needs this game to prep and continue to build timing and learn (see when people are blitzing, etc.)

Good. Let him screw up the whole game and get it out of his system. Let the team practice handling adversity and learn how to win. This is the last chance we have to make awful mistakes and learn from them. The other teams we play will capitalize on our mistakes to beat us.

Let worley start to hopefully get some confidence back, but sit Pearson, Hurd, and the other guys that got a knock this week

Needs to happen. Worley will not make it through the season without getting injured.

I agree with what some of the others have said. We need to start Worley, let him get a comfortable lead and then put in Peterman. I do think Peterman would benefit from some playtime. This may be what he needs to build some confidence. Obviously it would give Worley a chance to rest. He is going to need all he can get with our upcoming schedule.
