I know that 40,000 number is probably made up, but still, a couple fun facts: *Only eight schools made up spring game attendance numbers topping 40,000 (including Tennessee) *Seven BCS schools averaged fewer than 40,000 fans per home game in the 2013 season, including at least one in each conference.
Supposedly the lower bow holds around 63,000 people and it was roughly 2/3 full. This puts the number right at 41,999.58 people.
Worley looked alright during the offensive drills, but I was sitting on the defensive end of the stadium so I didn't watch a lot of the offense. During the scrimmage the offense looked kinda bad.
For better or worse, the offense was decent at times under him. I'm not saying he's a great qb, but the offense was decent. Manage game, get ball into area of playmakers, it can work.
After watching the video of last night's open practice, two things for me. 1. I HATE that darn brick wall and the endzones. And at the sides of the endzone. We put our players at risk. I want to see six inches or 1 foot thick pads covering those walls. I believe we've had players hurt by them in the past and it will happen again unless something is done. 2. As I've said in the past, I'm a Dobbs man. But the videos do show he's less effective as a passer than Worley or Peterman. Haven't seen enough of Wegzyn to say nor the other QBs. I'm now of the opinion that despite the Worley pick, Peterman might be the better QB. He's more daring the Worley and that one time on the video I saw him take off running, just take off. He's got fast feet, really fast feet. I think he'd be a dangerous QB if he gets the call again. Opponent defenses will be forced to respect his running ability so the WRs will be up against smaller CBs and Ss, and slower LBs making passing effective.
Always thought you had to have a very productive freshman year to hit a sophomore slump but apparently not. Dobbs is terrible.
The alert claimed the threat was on the 8th Maxim board. Thus my notifying the mods. I have my doubts it was actually on the board but tried to be a good board member by just letting them know the alert pointed at them. I won't do it again because I think any good intention here will be punished.
