Zeb's starting again? On Carolina Calls, Beamer said Doty had been the healthiest since his injury, but was basically still a wait and see . He also added that Zeb is going to have to play well for us Saturday night.
So, does it sound like
- Thread starter Legendary Cock
- Start date
If Zeb starts, I will be watching the game like this until hopefully something good happens
I think we'll see Zeb start again, I still hold my position that throwing Doty to the wolves in this game makes little sense. Our OL is going to get dominated, hold Doty for the UK game.
I don’t know, Kentucky is looking good. Maybe hold Doty for Troy game.😁👍
i kid of course but no telling how it will work out. I think Doty is a little worse off then led to believe. Zeb is this teams Perry Orth. Very smart, serviceable , good arm, just not what we need to take step to beat UGA but who knows, stranger things have happened
If Doty starts and appears to be favoring the foot that was injured, he risks getting injured more permanently.If Zeb starts, I will be watching the game like this until hopefully something good happens
if he is limping or favoring a foot then yes I agree he should not play. I would not want a repeat of Jake Bentley throwing/hopping on one foot against Kentucky in 2018 near the end of the game, that did not look to good or work well.

What jerseys?? Will the band go?? Lol
Why start Doty? Maybe he is still a little sore, maybe not. But what is the point of playing him against Georgia? Let the GA take a beating and then wait to start Doty in a winnable game.

We would need a Joe, a Jim and a Jerry to win tomorrow.
If we lose respectably (beat the spread) I'll be satisfied. If we make a bunch of mistakes and look horrible doing it ... well, I should probably not look at this board until Wednesday.
We will probably lose the next 2 games. It is after that when we should find our footing. I still think we win 5 or 6 games this season.

If Doty is healthy, start him. He was the starter in camp before he got hurt. This isn’t Pee Wee football. He is a grown man. If ready to go, then he should start.
If Zeb plays like he did for most of the ECU game, this one may be over for us in the first quarter.
Zeb is the only undefeated Gamecock QB on the roster that has started a game for USC.
That's a fact that comes with an asterisk.

It doesn't matter who starts this game. It's the same offensive line.
Maybe to you. I think they had at least 2 weeks of practice for this game. All Georgia has had to study are the same 2 or three plays over and over. You do come off sounding romantically involved with Doty. Let's just watch the game and see what happens.

At this point I don’t know how good Doty is but we know how bad Noland is. I could be wrong but if he starts I don’t think you’ll have to watch long to see what happens.
Seems knowledge of the playbook by QBs & OL had a hand in this decision.
The blocking certainly has to improve.
It’s hard to see through smoke
& that’s where doubts come from
Doty at least adds the possibility of extend plays with his feet. Now his passing? That remains to be seen...
I don't think Zeb is "bad". He's no Trevor Lawrence, but he's serviceable. And I don't know how good Doty actually is at this point.
Another thing, even if Doty's foot is healed and not painful, don't forget he was in a cast and boot for several weeks. That results in atrophy of the lower leg muscles, to the point where they are weakened and detrained. It takes a while to regain strength and conditioning in the muscles. He may be close to that now, but its hard to rush that process along.
