Florida's backup QB 23 yr old Austin Appleby

[Biopsyman]

I thought it was. Austin Kincaid

Didn't Weurful come in off the bench and clobber us?

Thought you asked for the list after Spurrier left.

Edit: Wuerrful may have replaced Terry Dean, but not sure. Losing to a future Heisman winner not as bad as Tyler Murphy and Treon Harris.

I worded it wrong. I should have said "beginning in the Spurrier era". My bad.

edit: I had no idea that Cam Newton played against us as a UF QB.

I don't think Appleby at 23 and a fifth year grad student is comparable to one of the greatest QB's in SEC history.

We are like-minded individuals :good!:

Here the Vols are once again facing a backup QB from Florida, this time a 5th yr grad that's 23 yrs old, 6'4" 240lb.

Appleby has considerable experience , playing in 17 games at Purdue, while starting 11 games. He will throw the ball down the field against UT, suggested coach Jim McElwain.

Apparently he has only one win as a starter.

I correct myself. He is 2-9 as a starter. Has 2,777 career yards and has thrown 19td and 19 interceptions.

 

[LittleVol]

Yes, because this is exactly what Florida's Dline has planned for the Vols Oline......sheesh

Do you feel better?
Can you and all these other doom and gloom force, at least wait till we actually lose.

Would it kill you to have confidence in your team??

 

[Kurtastrophe]

He was 2-9 and lost out to a freshman QB his last year at Purdue. If he is the reason we lose this week, the Fulmer curse is real.

 

[Hamptonvolfan]

I correct myself. He is 2-9 as a starter. Has 2,777 career yards and has thrown 19td and 19 interceptions.

Replaced by RS Freshman about 2 or 3 games into his senior season and career completion percentage less than Dobbs

I hear that's an important quality in a QB.

 

[cheftrapgod]

It is worth noting that the gaturds have played one of the easiest schedules in the entire thus far. Thkd guy is gonna choke. I'd muchhhhh rather have to play him than them walk out Felipe frank.

 

[Rudy123]

Appleby will not beat you with his legs and Florida has a poor O-Line themselves. We should be able to get a strong pass rush on them.

Medley will either win or lose the game for us. Hero or a zero?

Derek Barnett may need oxygen after all those sacks.

Careful, you haven't seen him play against UT. We may have a way of kick starting the young man's Heisman campaign next week. :thud:

when I see 6'3" and 240 lbs and likes to throw, all I see is 3rd and 3 and him lumbering for 3 1/2 yards and picking up first down after first down.

We can use Jumper to spy on him....same speed

Shy Tuttle may have something to say about that.

might not be a bad idea. Jumper could manage him and stop a whole lot of production. He could have a break out game.
