Franks started our first 3 games this year. If he was better than Trask he should have had 350 yards against UTM.

Trask worked the middle of the field very well.
How can your OL be fantastic in pass protection, yet get absolutely no push on running plays? I’ve never seen an OL that was that good in one aspect and that bad in the other.

Orlovsky said he believes the issue isn’t all OL - Perine is to hesitant and doesn’t find holes well. He pointed out several plays that Perine simply ran into the line instead of a hole. Time to upgrade to Pierce.

We talked about this the other day as this is the Freshman Perine. But the O-line stinks at run blocking and the holes that we see are not easily seen by even the best of RB's. It is not like I expect us to be great at everything and I know that every run will not yield big yardage, but we did not have any good runs that I recall in the 1st half and could not even get good runs late into the 3rd, when UToothless had already quit. It was not until well into the 4th that the easy yards came. If you can;t run against a supremely horrendous UToothless team at least a bit, how can you expect to navigate the trenches against Auburn, etc.?

Was wondering about Zuniga, though I did see Stewart out there.
Ugh, I think you hit on it. We were bemoaning Franks and the sideways passing (with an occasional shot downfield). Trask has the greenlight to throw open midrange routes (and a nice downfield on the opening drive) and isn't asked to stick to sideways passing....but then EJ is restricted to passes in the flat or hand-offs where he hands off 99% of the time (intentional by coach or player? idunno)
So, is it fair to say Trask is a willing passer, whereas Franks was struggling? Honest question in general.

Gotta be guesses from me. =
1) Franks gets 1st glimpse of open receiver, then hesitates before throwing..... throws too late half the time.
2) Trask has a sense that his target will be open in one more step -- he flings it.
3) Trask seems to force the D into semi-panic-porosity, leaving here and there thinly defended ground.?? Could pay off for RBs.
4) For Trask receivers seem more "energized" before the play, after the play.
5) Completions to the TE position seem very in tune with Trask .... not at all with Franks.
6) This seems an odd notice but Trask's hand-offs are more deceptive to follow.
7) "Rookies" on D getting playing experienc and getting better?
With more "all-on-my-shoulders" game-time, Trask should improve big-time..... WRs + QB should co-ordinate into plays of beauty.
New 'enthusiasmic' momentum should enhance our incessant grind. We are watching our clumsy beginning, yet it looks fine. ??
Puzzle pieces that could be "pushed" into place as we go = QB-WR in sync. ... OL x% improvement, learning, development.?...
***... D gets Zuniga back.***
PS> Last night burglars stole my mood ring. As of now, I don't know how I feel about that.

Went to the game, my first live one in several years. Random thoughts...
Swamp upgrades are evident, especially WiFi. My first time in the N. end zone “sunshine seats.” I liked them.
Thin areas but not unexpected for a noon game against a train wreck.
Guarantano was terrible. Missed wide open targets by a lot. Typical Ut generosity with the ball. Good day to rest Zuniga & Henderson.
We wore them out. But I think they were beaten before they got off the bus. We are a well-coached team.
Stunned by Trask. EJ looked better as the game wore on.
Stunned at our secondary playing so well with so many young guys. Elam is for real. Burney and Dean are key.

Honestly, would nearly rather win ToP than score. We also held the Mid-line.

Grimes should have caught that pass in the end zone. That thing was a dime. Trask would have finished with around 320 yards. Spurrier had to love it. You just know it.
Good timing to lean on the running game when UT was starting to quit. It gave the team good reps with Jones and pierce and the team got a chance to clean up their rhythm and technique blocking downhill running plays in live action. Winning big pays off later in the season because a team gets the luxury of practicing what they need to improve on. And Jones did have a couple nice downfield throws. He’s still experimenting but I think Dan will mix the two QBs well.

Not sure where else to pose this question, but was Rocky Top played even once during the game?

I meant EJ played better later than he did his first series. No doubt Trask should start and the team is responding to him.
Trask makes decisions quickly, usually the right ones, gets the ball out and is accurate. He is making too many turnovers but it isn’t because the game is too fast, so I expect he will cut those down as he gets more experience and coaching.
