Most of these Hail Mary plays QBs have plenty of time, in particular when they have a good OL like Bama and would have been allowed to hold as much as possible. After sleeping on it, I’ve come to the realization we weren’t supposed to win. 8 players to cover 5, cmon, he threw it after like 3sec which was enough time for the WR to get down there and zig/zag to the corner and the throw was an absolute bullet in the only spot it could be put. Just think, if they didn’t get it, the center and Milro would be getting destroyed right now. It was luck, pure luck and it went their way.

The whole fact that Milroe can throw it precisely and on a rope convinces me defending that play like a typical hail mary is the wrong play. As you said that frozen rope got there quickly so help defense could not converge. We needed to force him to find the 1 v 1 less comfortably back there. You dont want 50/50 balls to even be possible on 4th and 31.

Most Hail Mary throws with time are for 50+ yd, where a college QB starts to lose accuracy and can’t fit tight windows. Giving the QB time and space on a 50yd doesn’t really affect the quality of the pass


That’s not the case for a 31 yd pass. QBs in todays game w time + no pressure should be able to find favorable coverage and make a catchable throw
