I think Lee would have at least not waited til the receiver was opening instead he would throw before the break (timing patterns). That is also his downfall at times with the picks. JJ has a history of waiting too long and waiting for the receiver to get open before throwing instead of relying on the receiver to make the play and break open.

On one play DeAngelo Peterson was open. So open that he didn't have a defender near him for 20 yards. COMPLETELY open. Jefferson never saw him.

They said on the radio broadcast "There are receivers downfield who are open enough to throw to...."

How FRUSTRATING is it to know that? How frustrating is it for a coach to call passing plays and SEE your guys open only to have the QB tuck the ball and run because he doesn't want to throw.

Jefferson HANDCUFFED this offense and it's not just his fault. It's the coaches job to see that.

Well we would have stopped trying to run the fricking option with Lee. That right there is reason to want to see him.

The option caught Alabama off guard the first time. To go into this fricking game using it like its the centerpiece of the offense was just insane. "It worked last time and Alabama will never prepare for it and if it seems they have we'll just keep running it!"

This was never an option fricking offense but our staff decided to make it one.
