re: Harris passes more than 25 times?

I think most agree, given our offensive philosophy, if we throw more than 25 times there is a good chance we are behind late in the game and they are slowing down our running game, so hopefully that is not the case!

We were never behind vs. Florida after tying the game 2:37 into the 2nd quarter and we still threw it 19 times while running for 221 against the #21 run defense. Unless Fournette takes a long one to the house or Bama turns it over 5 times, I don't expect to run for 221 against the #4 run defense. I do think you we will see a lot more zone read and planned roll out with Harris keeping the ball. The roll outs that Harris keeps won't count as pass attempts but for all intent in purpose, that is what they are. Holding on to the ball and gaining a few yards is better than protecting the football by throwing it away.
