I admit I pulled those numbers off the top of my head. Probably overstated but point is that more passing to rushing is the norm nowadays. Saban’s switch to a wide open offense with more passing with Kiffin is well documented. He’s pulling in 5-star QBs and WRs from all over the country. Bama is arguably QBU and WRU now. You would have never believed that 10 years ago.

Even in the most pass heavy years Bama hardly exceeds 50%. It did peak in 2021 with 53.07% passing plays.

Hope that’s a good illustration of just how far out 65% is. That’s June Jones at Hawaii level or Leach, well anywhere lol.
