UL offensive coordinator: We're trying to hold it all together

[Ragin' Caleb]

Scrimmages are games, if you can't succeed in a scripted scrimmage it's highly unlikely you will do so in a game that actually counts. And a QB touches the ball 100% of the time on offense, a PK only touches the ball a few times a game.

not true. Nixon had the ball so not 100%

It seems like at all levels, its getting more and more difficult to find good QBs. But the really good teams can go down to their third stringers and still win. Ie, Patriots, Cowboys.

I'm afraid the Cajun's problem at QB is just one on a long list of problems within the football program.

... If Jennings oline was 30% better and receivers 50% better, we have 4 wins as opposed to 3.

I would go further and say if each were 5% better, Jennings doesn't get hurt and is playing with much more confidence, and the two overtime games are wins and don't even get to that point.

It doesn't take much to make a big difference.

And I keep telling you Bicky, the problems on offense go beyond Jennings and includes the offensive line and receivers. Inserting Davis and not correcting those areas only assures you of greater stats of running the football from the QB position with likely worse results. The difference is Jennings can manage a game as a senior, Davis hasn't manage a scrimmage yet, much less a game. If you guys are willing to stick him in now a suffer through the learning curve, then just say you have given up on the season. Until we reach two more loses, I'm not there yet. I'm sticking with the guy that has managed 3 wins thus far behind that offensive line.

You keep saying that, but so far Jennings has had mental meltdowns, very limited running abilities for whatever reason, and frankly is a lame passer. His season stats are not eye popping.

Yards per attempt 6.6
Completion percentage 62.89 Okay
touchdown vs interception bad at 9/7, a good ratio not great ratio is 2/1.
total yards 1281 yards.

You know I have been all over the O Line. Cannot speak to receivers because I haven't been able to be at all the games to see their performance, and tv doesn't cover them. I will say this though, the announcer for the last game, a game we won, said the receivers were open downfield, and yet we continued to throw check downs, and screens for the most part, and only two down field of which one was intercepted.

I think his play will severely limit the offense again next week, GSU will have a better pass rush and pass defense than TSU.
