Exactly which is why every championship contender should be recruiting dual-threat QB's. I mean even in a predominately pro-style offense like Bama's, why not have an athletic QB who can add multiple other options to your offense?
I agree, which is why our last two QB signees (Barnett and Hurts) both bring athleticism to the position. They aren't going to run the read option, but they have the athleticism to scramble and hurt teams with their legs, keep things alive. You can see the benefit we got even with Blake Sims last year versus Coker this year. We were sacked 25 times this season. Last year we were sacked 16 times. It's not because of the OL. It's because Sims was more adept at evading pressure.

Watson got some running yards, and had a few scrambles that worked well, but that whole game was about his throwing ability.
While some passes were to wide open guys, alot were thrown on what looked like good coverages. Just some perfect placements that would beat any defense, college or pro.

Might be true overall, but your RG (#76) was abused all night by Clemson's DE. A mobile QB may have made him play contained, but the OL was not the strongest part of your team last night by any means.
