lose 30-16 and only throw the ball 19 times... it's like there was no sense of urgency at all to get back into the game
We called 23 passing plays to 24 running plays. I mean, I get what you're saying, but when you call 23 passing plays and your qb only completes 6 passes, it ain't working. 2 yards > 0 yards.

The INT to start the 2nd half was atrocious and was the nail in the coffin.

By my count 8 of the 19 pass attempts were on 3rd and 8 or longer. Harris does deserve some blame because he did make some poor decisions and poor throws. BUT the play calling didn't do him many favors. A lot of throws on 3rd and long and an offense that doesn't have much creativity in the passing game. Deep routes to Dural or Dupre is about it.

You saw why we throw it down field last weekend, he has accuracy and timing issues at short range. Last year neither of our qb's proved they couldn't throw a screen pass yet saturday night this board was begging for it to happen.

So you want to go Air raid against Bama.

6/19
To put some context around these numbers:
- Pass Protection - Neither tackle was able to effectively block Tim Williams, and there was a lot of pressure on Harris throughout the game.
- On the three-and-out after Alabama's first field goal, Harris threw two incompletions (after a 1-yard gain by Fournette). The second-down pass was dropped. The third-down pass was a throwaway (out of bounds), after pressure by Tim Williams (beat Alexander) forced Harris out of the pocket.
- There were two pass interference penalties in the game. One on a deep ball to Dupre in the first half. Then another one on a pass to Dupre in the end zone on the last drive of the game.
- One pass attempt was batted down by A'Shawn Robinson.
- Harris did get credit for the illegal pass to Jerald Hawkins.
Not an accurate night for Harris, but he also didn't get good protection. He did complete some nice passes in the game, though. Two really good passes to Dural for big plays, and the PA pass to Dupre in the second quarter was pretty. He also had a nice completion to DeSean Smith.
Obviously, after a loss, a lot of people will look at alternative strategies/game plans for success (coaches generally do something similar). Then, some people see that as a slight against the coaching, and criticize those suggested alternatives and/or those doing the suggesting. Win or lose, I think looking at those alternatives, and other possible avenues for success is interesting.
I think the main issues with the 50-passes idea would have been protection and possible/probable turnovers.
