FLA QB Starter Undetermined

[Carlitovol]

I think most are/were assuming that Grier will be the starting QB. Wonder if this is just semantics (coach-speak), or is there a legit chance that Harris starts on Saturday?

Florida to pick starting QB against Tennessee later in week

Honestly, Harris worries me more because of his mobility and we tend to struggle against dual threat QBs..

Thoughts?

Havent watched UF.on offense much, but I thought Grier was better?

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Kind of reminds me of CBJ last year v. Bama where we all knew Worley wouldn't play but CBJ insisted he may play.

 

[VolFanHenry]

Doesn't matter. One of UT's taglines over the last 10 years is "making backup quarterbacks look like Heisman winners"

 

[TGVol]

Harris came in last year as a freshman to beat us in Neyland coming from 9-0 down. They would be dumb not to at least consider playing him.

Grier has excellent mobility as well. Had about 60 yds rushing vs Ky. 19 carries for 114 yds so far this year, 6 yards per carry, 2 TDs.

I bet no one will say "break a leg!"..

 

[lawgator1]

Coach manipulation. Unless he actually was hurt with that rib cage thing, Grier will start.

His mobility was amplified by how slow the Kentucky D was.

Ones beat up and the other sucks ..

The kid is mobile.

 

[Carlitovol]

The kid is mobile.

Yep, probably no less mobile than Mayfield - and look how Mayfield was able to extend plays and avoid sacks pretty much the whole game.

We HAVE to keep him contained and bring him down when we get a hand on him.

 

[Special Ed]

Not semantics, but probably a psychological ploy by McElwain.

 

[Biopsyman]

When you have 2 .. You don't have 1... We have been there too

 

[Majorvol23]

Mayfield is bigger than Grier I believe.

Ohio State disagrees.

 

[DCompagnucci]

Ohio State disagrees.

And Florida probably disagrees too, as they once had Tebow and Cam Newton on the same roster.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

If Harris starts, we lose...unless he gets hurt and Grier comes in.

If Grier plays like he did against UK, we lose.

Science.

I'll start the one that sucks. He has a come from behind win vs Vols.

 

[dreVol]

The backup quarterback: UT's Kryptonite. How did Mcelwain know??

 

[KBVol]

Mayfield is bigger than Grier I believe.

Mayfield about 10lbs heavier. Grier Looks more athletic to me, probably not as strong. He will have to accounted for, no more defensive ends crashing down with no contain responsibilities like in the OU game IMO.

 

[RollerVol]

It won't matter. :rock:

GO VOLS!

Science.

I think Grier can improve only slightly and, if we get the running game going, we can Muschamp our way to like a 13 to 9 win.

Didn't he get the win in relief last year?
