You're WAY overthinking it.
I'm guessing you didn't watch every A&M game in full as the season progessed. I'd say that's a fair assumption, I sure didn't watch every Kentucky game.
If you had, you would have noticed that Johnny and the team in general (the O-line getting used to the new blocking scheme particularly) progressed a great deal as the season wore on. We started out against UF with a QB who flushed the pocket at the first sign of trouble, who didn't attempt passes beyond 10 yards, who stood behind a line that got demolished, and a team that didn't fully trust its coaching yet. When played LSU, we were better than we were against UF, but not quite there yet. By the time we played Bama, JF was standing in the pocket all day if he wanted to and was lobbing bombs downfield. Day and night.

I watched the A&M/Florida game & A&M/Bama game.

JF, seemed to get pressured more against LSU and it caused him to panic. I think he just matured throughout the season by the time he got to Tuscaloosa and learned not to force it if its not there like he did against LSU. The difference 3 interceptions --> 0 Interceptions
