His many other and well-chronicled deficiencies aside, the game never appeared to slow down for Worley (a junior last season), even as much as it did for Dobbs (a frosh). Hence, he held the ball.....and held it.....and held it....and held it. And, he's flat-out afraid to run the option play. Period. And by "afraid" I mean, "scared". If that's our bread and butter, and he won't truly run it, then what else matters?
This will be the season of safe and steady. Get to a bowl, protect this class, and hope for the program-changing QB for next season. And if not, Dobbs will keep the seat warm until he gets here.
Where I am at. If Worely doesn't throw picks and Dobbs will, you play Worely. Either way, we can wish for a better QB and shit in our hand, and we know what will happen first.
What if Worley can't sustain drives like last season and continues with his 12% 3rd down conversion rate, that's essentially 2 turnovers a game.
Again, what options do we have? We can cry all we want, but what if Dobbs goes out and throws 3 picks a game? Our situation is what it is, and with all the receiving power we might have available, Worely might not have a 12% 3rd down conversion rate this year.
I'm convinced we could 3peat the National Championship and Huffman would still be pissed because we didn't have enough rushing yards in the last 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter.
I long for the day where we never mention Josh Smith ever again. Or any player like him. Smith does have a future in wrestling though. He could be the new Ronnie Garvin and the Hands of Stone.
