re: 2013 Auburn TD passes

Funny - some people think missing a handful of wide open receivers means you can't pass. That would be folks that never played and definitely never played QB.

Everybody bitches and pisses and moans about overthrown/under thrown WRs running free for TDs. But the truth is EVERY QB misses on these passes at some point. Sometimes the WR can make a play and make it work though. What we've really lacked is a WR who can stretch out and come down with a catch.

I subscribe, albeit a bit tongue in cheek, to Herbie's statement that if the receiver can touch it, he can catch it. Passes like the under thrown ball in the Natty. Was it under thrown? Yes, yes it was. Did the WR (Louis I think) get BOTH OF HIS HANDS ON THE BALL? Yes, yes he did. He still dropped the GD thing.

Really good passing QBs don't miss some of the open passes Marshall missed repeatedly this year no matter how you want to spin it.

Also, Marshall only threw 14 of them so you can get off your high horse.

With that said he improved A LOT from the beginning of the season to the end but still has A LOT of work to do. If he can continue his progression at a similar pace to that of the past 3-4 months over the offseason our offense is going to be awfully difficult to slow down next year.

Here's to hoping
