Ahh dude a threat to throw the ball opens up the run much better. With JJ they just creep up tigther and try to defend the outside with Lee they have to actually worry about being beaten deep if they play too tight.


Jefferson's two play action deep TDs down field this season disagree with you. Also Alabama didn't have to worry about being beat deep at all did they?

I think majority of the fanbase is putting far FAR more stock into last night then needed to be. Period.

JJ has had 2 long throws but watch the coverages teams dont change the way the defend him after he has hit one of those nor did bama after the Shepard completion simply because they dont believe he can do it consistently so they will risk stopping the run because on a consistent basis JJ wont make them pay. Look at the Defensive alignment before and after JJ hit any of his 3 long passes this year. Just like last year on the rare occasion he did it teams doubted he could do it again and other than TAMU they were right!
