An opposing starting QB has yet to finish a game against UT this year. Whether they were pulled for injury or incompetence, they all came out of the game.

Mmmm?

We have yet to give up more than 20 points. Offense idms the problem, not defense.

Yes, though it was by choice

Go back over time.....Just back a week when a backup for Ark took them on a game winning drive.....Last night a backup should have not been allowed to go on a OT drive and completed a 3rd and 18.....Can you say LSU backup QB that ripped us new butt holes with QB draws in the SECCG when we were a 3 TD better team....There are several examples of backups that have given us fits over the years.

I don't care if your defense only gives up 7....if you only score 6....you lose.

Over the years, sure. The Ark backup only completed one pass on that last drive. The Florida backup had the one 18 yard pass but in both Florida and Arkansas games the starter did most of the damage.

OU backup was better than their starter.

I don't think the backup qbs are why we are struggling this years, it's our OL and QB.

WRs could play better also, Nimrod dropped at least 3 and ran a route wrong. One of the passes was a tough catch, he should gave had the other two for sure.

The backup QB in SECCG was a long ti

The OU backup did hurt us.

Arkansas QB only threw one pass on that last drive. I don't give him credit at all.

Florida QB had the one TD pass, was pretty bad otherwise.

Our problem is not not backup QBs, it's OL and QB play.

WRs also not always stepping up. Nimrod blew a route and dropped 3 passes. One of them was a tough catch, badly thrown, he should have had the other two.

As for the SECcG game, it's a painful memory and we all recall it, but it's not relevant. Over 20 years ago when Fulmer was still near the peak.
