Quitting is becoming a fall tradition up there
Why bother with football when you are a champion in life!?
This guy is making his first start so we should put the screws to him. Last Saturday, Iowa State's QB was also making his first start and we see how that turned out.
Not sure I'm excited about this too be honest.
I'd put extra pressure on him. I know that pressuring the QB is always everyone's game plan, but with building team pressure, and a new starter running the O, I'd bring some blitzes. Get into his head a little and the game could swing our way in Rocky Top.
Dormady was surefire to be bad and give us a chance. This is a monkey wrench of epic proportions.
Agree, for some reason Muschamp has the Vols number, wish we could figure it out also.
Per The State, Dormandy hasn't quit. Rather, it has "been decided" to start the other guy.

Members of the South Carolina football team said Tuesday morning they’d been preparing for Tennessee starting quarterback Quinten Dormady.
Now they’ll reportedly have to change gears.
The Tennessee Rivals site Volquest reported Tuesday that Dormady will be benched for redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano. Dormady had struggled mightily in Tennessee’s first five games, and Guarantano has played in three of them.
Dormady had completed 55.5 percent of his passes for 925 yards with six touchdowns, six interceptions and a 117.9 rating. Guarantano has a rating of 82.7, with 54 yards on 12-of-24 passing,

No biggy either way. Just thought I'd mention it.
I read he is a dual threat QB. More mobile which seems harder for our defense to control. Agree need to get to him early and treat as we did Allen. Hit that confidence from the very start and set the game tone.
They had a skill guy go out with an injury before playing us last year. He was a dangerous kick returner and they missed him. He was also a senior.
Agree...and the Gamecocks have a history of making heroes of unlikely candidates..e.g. that Georgia quarterback who broke the completion record against us.
