Sarkisian was running what is referred to as a Pro Spread offense at Alabama. Pro-spread offense can mix run/pass conflicts with play-action and can lead to a deadly but balanced offensive attack. This offense depends on a QB that can make pre snap decisions about whether to pass or run the ball, and find the soft spot in the defense.

Mac Jones was a first year starter. Using this style offense, and relying on Jones to make the correct decisions, and then accurately distribute the ball led to possibly the most beautiful offense in college football history. Points scored that season each game. You will not find any scores in the twenties. lol

38, 52 , 63 , 41 , 48 , 41, 63, 42, 55, 52, 52, 31, 52

Here is a good explanation of how it works, and why the QB must be able to read the defense to make it all possible. This is why I believe Alabama should make an effort to locate a QB that can run this style of offense.

Pro Spread + QB understanding of defense = Unstoppable

You couldn't have put this in any of the other threads?


Listen I know you think the rest of us are stupid and can't comprehend our issues. But the truth is it was more than one person's failure.

No matter how many threads you start and links you post it isn't going to change that.

I think most ppl should understand this stuff is important. Mac was an elite QB in college running an elite system with an elite O line and the best college WR to ever do it.

It's kind of hard to compare the two.

Milroe is not an elite college QB currently and does not have an elite playcaller nor an elite O line. Or an elite WR.

Either Milroe has to take giant strides with the mental aspect of the game and his throwing mechanics or we better pray one of the other QBs really takes the next step and overtakes him.

Let this be the end of it ffs.

The 2020 offense had like 9 or 10 guys who would have been locks to start on this team and 5 or 6 who'd have been the clear cut best player on this offense. What is the point of even making this comparison?
