but our offense sucked last night, and a lot of that came down to BOTH QBs

had our QBs played even mediocre, then we would have put up 17-20 points without question

No NO NO... First of all, Bama's defense is incredible. If you looked at many of the pass plays, our guys were covered like glue.

Ware got stuffed by Bama's D and we know how tough he is. Lee just didn't have his best stuff last night. It happens. He's been great all year before this one.

JJ did NOT suck last night.

He only had 10 passes and completed 60% of those including a 30+ yarder which put us closer to the end zone than Bama ever got. That gave us a huge boost before half.

JJ was our 2nd leading rusher last night and averaged 3.9 per carry. Trent Richardson averaged 3.9 yards per carry.

Put it this way - The golden Bama D was giving up 44 yards per game on the ground before last night. JJ finished with 43 on just 11 carries. HE DID HIS JOB. And although I've always hated JJ doing the pitch option, it's got a different dimension with Ford involved and they ran that play like champs last night. It was easily the most effective play we had and Bama didn't really stop it.
