Interception vs BAMA - Bad route?

Man, he that linebacker was in his line of sight the entire time

Just viewed it again. The TE initially engaged & blocked the linebacker at the inception of the play. Harris rolled and the TE was open short for a 5 yard gain. Harris threw to Quinn on what looked to be a come back route tot he sideline.

There seems to be no reason for the TE to be in that location. He was likely supposed to block and release to the middle if anything. The TE never looked back until just as Harris released the pass. It does not appear the pass was intended for anyone but Quinn.

Maybe Harris should have seen him, but it is likely he never considered the LB would be in that area of the field.

Quinn was fairly well covered by the corner so maybe Harris should have thrown it away or turned up the field for a few yards.

He should have taken the 4 or 5 yards to the TE. That ball was never going to get to Quinn. Terrible decision that took us out of the game.

Interception vs BAMA - Bad route? by BestStopThe TE Foster Moreau could have attempted to catch the closely thrown ball but he pulled his arm down. It's like he went to catch it but decided not

The set up of the play seems to indicate it was never intended for Moreau. It was going to Quinn. Quinn was tightly covered and possibly the corner may have made a play on it. Just no reason for Moreau and Quinn to both be on a short sideline 10 yards down field.
