Agree- thinks we try to keep Jones in the pocket rather than flying around, and hope your monsters collapse it quickly.
Our biggest mistake Saturday, outside of being lost once the option got started, was not just attacking the mesh point on the Read or the QB on the Speed. Saban talked about how we weren't aggressive enough (especially the OLBs) at attacking, and that led to us being on our heels and Emory Jones did a great job reading that. The only guy who consistently attacked the QB on the Speed and the mesh on the read was Will Anderson, and it generally led to positive defensive plays.
Of course, I'm fairly confident Mullen went so heavy on read option/speed option in the 2nd half because he saw our timid reactions to it in the limited first half use and thought he could exploit it. Which was, obviously, very smart and well adjusted/schemed by him.
I'd guess Georgia will attack - but I'd also guess Mullen will have some counters for that. Should be a fun chess match as usual. Another big difference is Georgia has a monster at DT who can blow things up. We really don't have that.

Agreed. I also would add that Mullen (or Kirby) is smart enough to dabble in the first half and go HAM in the second, when halftime adjustments can no longer be made.
It was quite well done on his part.
