what did he do other than dump the ball to Richardson on two busted plays?


I thought McCarron looked very comfortable running the Alabama offense against the best defense in the nation (unlike our deer-in-the headlights 5th year senior). Sure he missed a few open receivers- the "major cog" in the Alabama offense was our defense, not McCarron. Did Saban have to yank McCarron and put in Simms for any reason?

Because the defense was able to stop runs outside of the tackles.

Look, I'm not defending Lee at all. I'm saying McCarron didn't play as well as you guys are saying. He had some CRUCIAL mistakes in the game.

If it weren't for two busted plays on defense where he dumped it off to Richardson, he throws for maybe 120.

The kid didn't do anything special and he fricked up more than you realize.

Thankfully, LSU had a QB that could run outside and it was an issue for Bama to stop.

Jefferson was 6/10, fwiw. Higher completion percentage than McCarron.
