re: Auburn Beats Bama...

Here's why I think JJ can be effective. When he passes the ball, he makes quicker decisions and throws more accurately than NM (I saw this against Arky). With this, the o line doesn't have to hold the pocket for so long. I understand this isn't really a problem with NM because when the pocket collapses after he can't make up his mind, he extends the play by escaping. If JJ can begin to pick apart their secondary, the running game will then open up. This is something we really haven't seen happen effectively this year save LSU because our passing has been all but consistent.

This said, throwing JJ into the mix in the most hostile environment we've seen all year may not be a good decision, but if it's apparent this team just wants to get to the offseason, why not play our QB who will be starting next year?

For the record, if you rewind to mid-season, I fully supported NM.
