Uh, yep!

Murray played a bad game, but when we needed him most he manned up

I understand your point and agree Murray had a bad some bad plays here and there, but he received absolutely NO help from his receivers. A couple of his INT are squarely on Rantavious Wooten and Jay Rome. The pass to Rantavious was a bit behind him, but a good receiver makes that play (esp. in the red zone). The pass to Jay Rome would have been a tough catch, but Murray put that pass where only Jay could have caught it and he got his head around late and thus the tipped INT. The INT that sailed on him that was intended for Marlon Brown was nothing more than a force that was on Murray alone. Looked like he was just trying make something out of nothing, which he never should have been in that position to begin with.
Tavarres King was the player yesterday to me that was just maddening to watch! The back shoulder throw that Murray put on the absolute money that TK dropped made me want to throw up. That was at a point when the Offense NEEDED that play to be made and TK looked like it was used hypodermic needle that was coming at him.

All in all the O was facing what I consider the best D in the country not located in Tuscaloosa, and Gurley and the O line just emasculated them all day, just didn't have the point to show for it. I wouldn't worry too much going forward unless Murray just loses all confidence in his wide outs. (which it doesn't appear that is an issue as evidenced by the throw on the TD to Malcolm Mitchell. That throw was all TRUST on a site adjustment.)

I truly think we would have won by three touchdowns had Mason been playing.
