Both played QB in high school. Id like to see a package to bring them in at QB. Run the Auburn offence, a true read option and see if we can mix it up.

With the young guys on the line trying to confuse the defense might be our best chance. Right now they are just pinning their ears back and coming. We might be able to slow them down a step with the confusion.

We've got nothing to lose this season. Go for broke it's a bowl or bust why not pull out all the stops.

Neither. Evan Berry would be a better choice imo now that they're looking at him as a RB this week. He played qb in Highschool

North is hoping to play WR on Sunday.. Why would we waste his WR talent and his practice time with a "package" for him at QB... Maybe a WR reverse pass, but you won't get more than that

Yeah, we tried to confuse the Florida d last Saturday. They were confused and only had about half the field covered. Then we jumped off sides and that was that.

I'm beginning to think this site is a huge waste of time reading garbage posts all day long. A true read option means changing your entire offense which changes blocking schemes. I don't think we need to do that.

Yeah...way to complicated for us. Good thing we didn't try to come back to that again during the game since it didn't work the first time. Lord knows we don't want to run a play that confuses the defense. We should just stick to the same 5 plays that we have run all year.

Or we could stick with an actual QB at QB. Just an idea

Nick Marshall was not considered an "actual quarterback" until he was brought in by Gus Malzahn to run their offense. At Georgia, he was a cornerback until being dismissed for violation of team rules. Marshall seems to have worked out pretty well for Auburn. But we are Tennessee. We're not allowed to think outside of the box, and our rebuilding effort has to be a ten year "process" even as other SEC schools like UK, Mississippi, Auburn, ect. are turning things around much more quickly.

We don't play much read option.

Auburn wasn't rebuilt. Hugh Freeze is in his third year.

And those guys at least had bodies. Butch took 35 guys this February for a reason. What is so wrong with letting the season play out before making comments like you made?

Playing QB at college level is so hard that QBs struggle being effective. You can design a set package or a play or two around a skill player but asking them to come in and read defenses and run an offense is not going to happen. Their experience playing QB means squat without months and months of focused development.

Its not HS you cant just toss a great athelete out there and run a buck sweep and think its going to work. Aubie is so good because it is a system designed of DT and DE reads and constant reps with elite play calling.

Gus Malzahn is probably among the greatest offensive minds in football history. He could probably plug a track athlete that has never played football back there and have success.

Obviously the key is to find a prospect dismissed from another SEC team for violation of team rules. Newton, Marshall? Works out well for those crooks on the plains.

But it does bring up a good point. With all these speedy athletes, why haven't they implemented at least some package utilizing a wildcat? Moseley being a great example. This team could have used that a few times this year.

Auburn was 3-9 two years ago, and they had no effective quarterback on their roster until Malzahn came in and recruited Marshall. Hugh Freeze is in his third year, but his team went 8-5 in their second year with huge program building wins over LSU and Texas. While I suppose 8-5 is still a possibility for our team, and I hope we achieve that level of success, it appears based upon our play so far that we will be very fortunate to go 6-6 and make it to a bowl game. I will happily eat crow if I am wrong and we win 8 games this year, but even most Butch koolaid drinkers concede that this is unlikely. Finally, I notice that you completely omit any reference to Kentucky. Kentucky is 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the SEC. They have less talent than us; worse recruiting classes; a team that is about as young as us; finished 2-10 and 0-8 each of the last two years in the SEC; have worse facilities than us; have no where near the tradition we have; and they even have two Freshman starting on their offensive line. Yet despite the fact that all of the usual excuses for Jones's lack of success this year are also true of Kentucky, UK appears to be farther along in their rebuidling effort than we are. What is your excuse for that fact? I am sick of excuses. I want to see wins. If we upset either Ole Miss or Alabama, then I will be happy. We just can't continue losing big game after big game. The "it's a process, brick by brick, ect. ect." excuses are getting old fast, and at some point in time the recruits will stop committing as well. At some point we have to break through and exceed expectations, or we will continue to remain a subpar SEC program.
