re: It's hard to criticize line play...

Totally agree the O-Line got dominated. But what does a competant OC do when the pass rush is getting to the QB?

1.Quick throws. I guess that is out of question with JJ running the show. His mechanics are still like a HS QB - long winding release and throws either too high (the pass to OBJ) or into the dirt and stares down receivers.

2.Screen to the RB or TE - not in our regular playbook.

3. Bubble screens - Tried that a few times but Bama sniffed it out, throws were slow developing and the blocking by the WRs left a lot to be desired.

4. Roll the QB out - JJ did try a cpl of passes by rolling to his right and had a completion and another near completion to OBJ. But then the coaches went back to what was not working.
