KM: Will Rogers has a chance to become the all-time leading passer in SEC history this season. However, from the outside looking in, it seems like a lot of Bulldog fans aren’t very happy with their starting quarterback. What’s the story with Rogers?

EE: I think the story is playcalling. He got so used to having options on every single play in the Air Raid, basically on overload of options that makes it very hard to not be able to find a receiver. Adjusting to Kevin Barbay’s offensive scheme where his personnel groups aren’t providing that many outlets seems to be putting a lot of stress on Rogers and it absolutely shows in the game. He spends too much time in the pocket to not be able to make a play. Certainly, the offensive line is to blame for some of his struggles, but I am hoping for more out of the fifth-year senior.
