Statistically things looked great tonight...objectively there is still some concern.

Where does the blame go?

1) Injured top backs? You can see we just don't have the explosion out of KJ or KP. I saw it out of KJ before the injury, Martin and Barrett...I also don't blame the coaches for not playing the young guys. JS still has happy feet, as seen on the fumble play. Learning Pass Pro for a back usually takes some time.

2) OL just isn't dominant? I lean toward this explanation as the biggest reason followed by 1 and 3. I am just not impressed with our OL.

3) RPO's make it difficult to block on the 2nd level?

We've damn near had a different Oline every game. That doesn't help.

It's going to be tough sledding vs. UGA and Bama Stidham may have to throw it 30 plus times

I think #1 is biggest problem. Not having top 3 backs healthy hurts. Guys aren't exploding through holes or making plays of their own consistently. OL isn't elite but strong enough

With that said what KJ is doing at 80% is insane. We will never see it but a 100% KJ is really good
