If anyone listened to Vol Calls, through the muck of highly screened questions, it seems Butch might have at least cracked the door. We're definitely going to see Dormady Saturday. Will be interesting to see how much.

Well, i think you are making Everest out of Monteagle Mountain.

West Carolina is a FCS team, so i would expect that we may see Dormady as soon as the end of the first half if we are far enough ahead. We are going to see Chance Hall and Jack Jones at RT and RG, probably early in the game. We are going to see alot of Charles Mosley at LG as well and Dontavious Blair a good bit as well.

That is what is so great about FCS games. We get to see the backups almost as much as we see the starters.

I hope your right but I think its a tougher game than OU

No doubt it's gonna be tough. Tougher than OU given UF's current state, not sure. But I understand where you are coming from given our long time struggles with the gators and being in the swamp.

I think we strike early and often, and hopefully we learned our lesson vs OU, and never let the foot off the gas the whole game. No way Butch loses this game. We win handily, and move forward hitting on all cylinders and win the east! :D

Someone at Rocky Top Talk was quoted Monday as saying Sheriron Jones was looking very good and Dormady may not have 2nd team QB locked up. I highly doubt Butch would burn both red shirts though.

I saw that as well and was surprised to read it. Not sure if Dormady isn't as sharp as he was earlier or if S Jones has come on strong. Let's hope they're both that good

Which will be key moving forward due to our needs of younger guys stepping up and playing more important roles. Also need to work on passing game with Dobbs and receivers as much as possible. If we can get that going we will be hard to stop on offense.

I posted on here after the OU game that Debord probably prefers a pocket passer rather than a scrambler and thus Dormady will be given more looks sooner rather than later. If we continue to have issues connecting on balls 15+ yards down the field, we may a new starter after the Alabama game. There is also the possibility of rotating QBs. That would really get a defense confused assuming our offense could manage it.

Only because Dobbs' play is beginning to look controversial once again.

I wouldn't cry if Dormady plays some. Maybe even as much as half of the time. It seems to push Dobbs when there is competition other than an opponent.

I stated in earlier threads several weeks ago, back in the summer, that Dormady will be the starter by year's end.

I still believe this.

DORMADY IS A SERIOUS TALENT. WAS A HOT COMMODITY ON THE RECRUITING TRAIL. HAS TALENT ONE CAN'T TEACH.

...AND MOST OF ALL HE SNUBBED SABAN AND KIFFIN FOR THE BIG ORANGE.

IF SABAN AND KIFFIN WANT YOU, YOU CAN PLAY!!

I hope not. Things will have to get real bad with our next few games for that happen. Pulling Dobbs at this point or any point this season is a recipe for a lot of losses with our schedule. Just don't see it happening.

My expectations are that the coaching staff fix our issues in the next 2 weeks and have the offense hitting on all cylinders going into the Fla game.

Everyone laying all the blame on Dobbs. From what I've seen so far the majority of the problem is the receivers not getting any seperation. That and an Oline that collapses in 2 seconds with pass protection. Also the receivers need to work on rerouting and getting open when Dobbs is flushed out of the pocket and on the run. Everyone so quick to jump to conclusions and throw Dobbs under the bus needs to go back and watch the receivers on the offensive play by play vids

He will mostly just hand the ball off to Hurd or Kamara. Might throw a few intermediate passes to tight end, etc. Just enough to get the feel of being on the field.

Dobbs didn't play his best game but you can't judge a man off 1 day's work. Opening up the QB contest just rattles confidence and is not the way to go about improving our team. Dobbs was also gassed from running for his life behind a mediocre O line.

WRs and the Oline have been underwhelming in getting off press coverage, creating space, and pass protection. While Dormady does have an underrated running element, he is no Josh Dobbs with his legs nor with his decision making at this point likely. Dormady may well be the better downfield passer but you need a pocket to pass from and WRs that actually get open. Neither of which happened versus OU very often. There is no magic fix for the problems right now.

Hope they leave Dobbs in enough to have plenty of chances for throws down field.... this is the game where he can settle in and get some timing and chemistry down with his WRs. I like Dormady, but Dobbs has to have time to pass this weekend. Dormady is still a Frosh and we are about to face FL GA AL etc... and need a cool head with feet and experience behind the wheel.

Exactly. If Dobbs is struggling with the poor Oline and receiver play, imagine what a disaster putting in a freshman against fla,ga,bama, etc would be. Absolutely 0 chance of this happening...at all...period

I think Dobbs sitting in the pocket so much hurt him. Where was our scramblingfor15yards QB at we've all come.to know?

Dobbs was put in the pocket by the coaches and he was not there by his choice. THEY deserve tremendous blame for our loss. Dobbs is not the drop back QB they think he is or want him to be. Dobbs is an incredibly talented athlete and skamper QB, and if our coaches called appropriate plays to his strengths, not weaknesses, we'd be #18 in the polls this week and 3-0 come Sunday morning.

Team #119 and the Fans are owed an apology by the coaching staff.

Barring injury, I would agree.
