Quinn dropped a game winning pass


No he didn't. He dropped a couple for sure, but neither were "game winning" passes. This would be a pass which, if caught, would essentially make the game unwinnable for the other team.

Nor was vadal's penalty a game decider. Without it we have 2nd and goal from the 6. Against Bama, with that offense, we had about a 10% chance at a TD there.

Not worried, Pocic is absolutely able to play RT so Vadal must be ok and as mentioned he has taken snaps there before

In the fourth quarter including Magee's run where Vadal drew the penalty, LSU rushed for 3.8 yards per carry. To say that they had a 10% chance to score with two plays from the six is asinine. For the game, LSU rushed for 3.3 ypc.

Except that Clempson game


Yeah, not his finest hour. Wasn't he injured or sick going into that game though?


He had a some type of minor procedure done on his knee in the weeks before the game.

Hopefully Vadal loses some weight this offseason and isn't playing at 340+

He did really well him and trai turner both against Scar a few years back when they had that nasty dline. I'm pretty sure that was turner and vadals first start

We have like 7 guys who can play the guard positions. I actually think one of the true freshmen will be in the 2 deep at right tackle.

Maybe one of our freshman tackles can take the spot and we can keep Alexander at guard

He did just fine at RT his true freshman year

Plus he's a more dominant player now. Playing with a right-handed QB also means he doesn't have the pressure of covering the blind side Wouldn't be surprised to see VA make all SEC at the position.

It's the equivalent of hitting into a double play with a 3-0 count (Up by 1, top of the 9th) with runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out.

Quetion Miles on QB developement, not OL Play. Vadal will be a force wherever they put him on the line.

Vadal did well his freshman year at RT. He wasn't all conference, but he was a freshman.


He was freshman All SEC and freshman All American at RT and he didn't start til the Florida game.

I wonder how he looks getting back to that position after two years of playing guard.

There is plenty of blame to place on the offense for the Bama game. Vadal got caught hitting back and Quinn's drops wouldn't have been as bad had that penalty not been called or if the some other passes weren't so far off the mark. It's in the past.


WOW! Although plenty, seems you ran out of blame here.
