Moving the goal posts already? It was plenty of pass attempts to "work on the passing game." The issue was we didn't bring an offensive line to Tuscaloosa.

The "issue" is that our passing game only worked after we ran the ball into 8-9 man fronts who were loaded up to stop the run. Once we played a defense with a decent front 7, our plan didn't work and we didn't have an alternative. It is like no one noticed that our whole offensive philosophy was to try and let LF break a long one into and through 9 men in the box and then trick the defense into falling asleep on long passes to a single wide receiver out of play action from the I-formation. And, it worked until we played competent teams/defenses.

Not everyone is stupid and some teams have the talent to stop our one dimensional offense. The passing yards were a mirage and came against defenses that had to stack the box to stop Fournette. But, we overpowered them at the point of attack. As soon as we can no longer overpower a team, they stop us cold.

What goal posts? You said 22 passes was plenty and I disagree. How is that moving goal posts?

Clearly it worked! 22 passes woo hoo!
