Yeah - everyone was saying the same thing about Georgia and Ole Miss. Any given Saturday, fortunes can change. I think entirely too much is being made about the passing game. I have seen BH make some really nice throws and I have seen our WR and TE make some nice catches and yards after catch. Many of you will only be happy if we are throwing for 300 per game - that ain't gonna happen and it doesn't need to - not with the stable we have. LF7 is a major piece - but there are plenty of others who are contributing. We are not nearly as one dimensional as we were last year. And now we are even better and each game, we will get better. My one major concern is our Special Teams performance - that is glaring. With teams starting on their own 40 after every kick, we are doing our defense no favors. This is what needs to change far more than anything else on this team.

I think you have a point, but if even the threat of an occasional completed pass isn't there, then you're going to have a long, long day when some of the more physical & faster SEC defenses stack the box. It doesn't even have to be anything complicated - high percentage throws into the flat, slants, and shallow crosses. Hell I don't know if I've seen Fournette and Guice in the backfield together one time this season. Imagine the matchup nightmare that could present.
