Kirby has spoken about that in the past. Those passes are essentially an extension of the run game meant to wear out the defense. Looks like it worked with SC's defense looking gassed in the 2nd half.

They are and are effective. We do need to find some more plays downfield to make the defense back up. Also, trying to drive the ball 5 yards at a time puts a lot of pressure on to execute perfectly. Any penalty or negative play is a drive stopper, and more plays means more opportunities for mistakes. Scoring on a 13 play drive is hard to do.
