Last year, it wasn't that they threw the ball, it was when and how. The first play against UGA, we had an empty backfield, which meant we had to throw. Crowton put all the pressure on the weakest player on the offense. Against Bama, he had Lee throwing on third and long when we were ahead or tied. He should have run the ball and punted. It was poor overall game management. I think they are making a concerted effort not to have all the pressure on Jefferson, but they will have to throw some more than they have.

...and have overcompensated. They have to open up the middle of the field. Big physical WR's and one of the best TE's in the college game=great success between the hash marks. I keep saying, dump a couple over the heads of the 6-7 guys pouring in on every play, and all of a sudden, they have to sit back, and the running game opens up. I DO think Crowton is calling plays like he is scared.

And if we had run the ball and punted, you would be running Miles+Crowton out of town for playing Saban+Fisher ball.
