Weeel Raadgers, if this thing isn't looking better over the next few games, I would love to see Sawyer get some playing time in our last 4 games. Esp against Tennessee State. He might not be ready but he needs to get some real game experience this year to get him ready for a QB battle next spring. Not bashing Will here, I always defend him but I do expect Sawyer to be a better QB.

Robertson put himself behind the 8-ball by not enrolling early. Not that he's expected to enroll early, but that would have been his chance. Now he's likely sitting for a while.

I hate that Abraham can't contribute. I do think we'd have tried him by now. The lack/hesitance in throwing the ball down the field is really starting to show.

Abraham is Rogers 2.0 in terms of skill set, even if healthy I don’t think he would have made a drastic difference. He’s not really a deep ball guy either.

I still feel like by the 8th game he should be at a point where he can get some playing time. We played Will in game 5. He needs a little game experience. He might be a little more of a gunslinger. I guess we will have to wait and see. Ya know watching that last drive that was 2 passes for a touchdown just makes me think it should be that easy all game. Will just has to push it.

Leach isn't benching Rogers. Rogers leads the SEC in passing yards and completion %. He has only 1 Int in 163 passing attempts. Rogers is checking all the boxes on the Mike Leech's starting QB checklist.

Will needs to quit thinking and start acting. Maybe we should run hurry-up all the time.

If stats won games, we'd have a maroon Christmas.

We gonna go 5-7.

How's our academics?

Can we squeak into a bowl game with a top APR?

As soon as we are eliminated from bowl contention, the other QB options need some playing time for sure. I would do it sooner.

He’s also going to lead the SEC in pass attempts and near the bottom in yards per attempt. Not good when you can’t rush for 20 yards as a team

I'll go with 4 - 8, and bet the under.

You can't just base it on stats. We pass about 90 % of our plays so obviously we should lead in passing stats. Thats pretty much a given. Leach definitely does not like starting a freshman. He believes in waiting 2 years and was forced to play Will. He might ride it out 3 years with him and hold Sawyer until he is a redshirt sophomore but we need to go deep more often. Its obvious we can. That 2 play touchdown was beautiful yesterday. This entire offense is ran by the QB. Its all on his shoulders. Leach wants to score every possession so he will swap QBs if he thinks it will help.

And he's #11 in yds per attempt, #10 in QBR, we're #11 in total offense, 11th in total points, tied for 9th in rushing TD's, last in rushing yds per game, last in rushing yds per attempt, last in rushing attempts, and last in total rushing yards. Point being when you are last in all rushing categories that matter, you had damn sure better be at the top in all passing categories that matter. Just squeaking by will not cut it starting this weekend
