re: Blowing out Georgia masked a huge problem with our offense...

Actually, the team changed the offensive strategy an identify when Jefferson returned. Before that, with Lee, we had a very different downfield passing attack with timing throws and quick release. This made the defenses defend the whole field, which made the running game much more effective.

After Jefferson returned the timing passing attack was scrapped. Jefferson took some shots downfield and threw some good passes, but will only begin a pass when he can already see an open receiver. That makes the passing attack very slow to develop. That makes him vulnerable to pressure from a good D line. That makes him scramble. He then stops looking downfield. Then our offensive production dries up.
